From The Boston Business Journal:

Three Boston area schools are among the 25 schools christened the “New Ivies” by the latest Kaplan/Newsweek college guide.

Boston College, the Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Mass., and Tufts University in Medford, Mass., were among those schools that have experienced a rise in stature among the nation’s top students, administrators and faculty, “edging them to a competitive status rivaling the Ivy League,” according to the publication.
