Do you means Tufts MBS, or Tulane ACP? Tulane has other programs, too (genetics, pharmacology, etc).

Yes! Thanks for catching that! I meant Tufts MBS vs BU MAMS.
Thanks!

Sure. In that case, I'd say Tufts. Grading has historically been more lenient, there. There are a few threads on this where alumni have explained it; from what I remember, it's something to do with a straight percentage vs. a curve, and it's in your favor. Don't quote me on that, though.

I am trying to make this decision as well. I went to Boston this past week and toured both programs. They both seemed great, but I got a much better vibe from Boston University. The program directer was super helpful and I talked to a former student who had nothing but good things to say. I would definitely recommend taking a trip to see the two schools. They are very different in their locations and overall feel, but very similar in curriculum, price, etc.
