[lofty flower]

our loss is another university’s gain. Okay Girl

[thick barn]

Another chat I have to log out of🤝🏾

[iron loom]

what are you even supposed to do when you get waitlisted it’s not like you can just not commit when there’s no guarantee of getting in

[ivory canyon]

sad

[quiet geyser]

lmao mid school (jk congrats to everyone who got in!!!)

[hybrid moth]

.

[thick barn]

Right like bfr

[drowsy zephyr]

im not joining the waitlist i think

[lofty flower]

u commit somewhere else and if they let u off the wl you forfeit your deposit

[iron loom]

slay

[lofty flower]

it should be on there

on the portal

[mystic geyser]

he’s checking in a minute

[sweet scaffold]

its kinda more like "we got 34k kids applying, after the "holistic review" we think that ur app is worse than others and therefore cant offer u admission cuz of our limited spaces" 🗿

[hybrid moth]

could you share the link maybe im on the wrong one

[whole trout]

lemme see

[lofty flower]

for the portal? yeah gimme a sec

[lofty flower]

https://ugrad.admissions.tufts.edu/account/login

[hybrid moth]

thanks

[whole trout]

gotta send a fucking loci now

[quiet geyser]

mid rejection letter

[somber epoch]

man fuck locis

[whole trout]

wtf 😭

[drowsy zephyr]

it’s ok i didn’t wanna climb the fucking hills anyways

[iron loom]

wtf is that

[analog coyote]

Honestly those are annoying as hell

[iron loom]

what is loci

[whole trout]

letter of continued interest

[drowsy zephyr]

“our decision is final” 💀💀💀

[wicked raptor]

LMAO

[wide furnace]

lol so we're not AS talented and compelling 💀

[wicked raptor]

they really don’t want those mails

[analog coyote]

Letter of continued interest- basically you give a background of why you still want to be admitted

[iron loom]

i don’t actually know what that is though

[unkempt berry]

like damn

[whole trout]

You are welcome to send an email of continued interest to our Undergraduate Admissions email account by April 19 in addition to filling out the Wait List Form. A place in our first-year class may open in early May or as late as June; unfortunately, we cannot be more specific regarding this timeline or the likelihood of any Wait List activity this year.

[cyan meteor]

Who does tbh

[iron loom]

bruh because i fucking want to stfu tufts don’t make me justify every single thing i do

[placid gust]

its fine

[wicked raptor]

goofy rejection letter ngl

[whole trout]

pretty be a pick me and say hey pls take me still I love u
(jus pretty much saying u still tryn go and things u love bout the school)

[wicked raptor]

quirky essay type beat

[unkempt berry]

“After a careful review of your application, it’s a no from us”

[blissful mirage]

bro even chatgpt can write a better rejection letter

[quartz palm]

i like the rejection letter tbh

[placid gust]

💀

[wicked raptor]

“we’re sure you’ll cure cancer and end tensions in the middle east in the future, but a no from us”

[unkempt berry]

literally

[quartz palm]

the letters pretty to the point

[cyan meteor]

So did anyone get accepted yet lol

[quartz palm]

a few

[sly totem]

Applied for CS in the School of Engineering (rejected)

[ionic scarab]

REJECTED!

[blissful mirage]

YAY

[tepid mulch]

same

[wicked raptor]

yh same

[quartz palm]

i got rejected too

[boreal lava]

Btw tufts does not admit by major

[wicked raptor]

CS is easiest way to get rejected

[ionic scarab]

Yay for tufts

[placid gust]

tuff

[ivory canyon]

they couldve worded their rejection letters a tad bit more nicely

[blissful mirage]

we move on!!

[placid gust]

aight bro

[wicked raptor]

fr?

[placid gust]

💀

[boreal lava]

But congrats everyone who got in! Can’t wait to see some new faces on campus

[boreal lava]

If I remember correctly yes. Everyone enters undeclared

[quiet geyser]

no literally

[wicked raptor]

it’s fine northeastern is better anyway (Im gaslighting myself)

[placid gust]

@blissful mirage we get that u didnt get in but its not mid

LMfAO

[boreal lava]

[boreal lava]

Yeah I know a guy who made it off last year. Is the CDS out from last year yet

[whole trout]

[placid gust]

Shouldve applied cs in the school of arts and sciences

[whole trout]

[wicked raptor]

wl makes me wanna die UCLA wld me

[boreal lava]

Doesn’t matter LOL

[tidal flame]

I’m so scared to check

[placid gust]

its slightly easier i thot

thats what i got in for

[unkempt berry]

“Through a holistic committee review process, we reached decisions on each application” they ran out of things to say 💀

[somber epoch]

its okay man college is full rng

[ivory canyon]

a waitlist is still good!

[iron loom]

tufts u made me cry what do you have to say for yourself

no it’s fucking not don’t be a liar smh

[boreal lava]

It is iirc for A/S but it’s also very easy to internally transfer to SoE

[ivory canyon]

nah they still considered you

[boreal lava]

Source - I did it with no experience in CS

[whole trout]

its not but this is 21/22
wtaf

[boreal lava]

21/22 they iveradmitted

22/23 they didn’t

[whole trout]

ah ic

[iron loom]

i am straight up displeased fr

[tidal flame]

Woah

[boreal lava]

I don’t have an exact number from last year

But I heard 100 get tossed around

[placid gust]

💀 its just college chill

[iron loom]

[iron loom]

[boreal lava]

Cool it y’all

Thanks

[whole trout]

ok 20/21 was fine

[placid gust]

[boreal lava]

20/21 should be a good number

[iron loom]

20% isn’t half bad

[wicked raptor]

[wicked raptor]

I knew that cannon was cursed

[quiet geyser]

[blissful mirage]

congrats to whoever got in!!

[cyan meteor]

Congratulations 🎉🎉

[crystal karma]

any updates, affirm that youd choose tufts if given the opportunity, maybe add one or two little why us bits (make it specific, a specific program, institute, tradition)

[frozen flint]

THANKSSS

[iron loom]

they want to know where else i want to enroll what if i don’t know

[boreal lava]

This is good advice

[iron loom]

what if i didn’t pick her

yet

[crystal karma]

they do?

[boreal lava]

Send an ss of that

[crystal karma]

usually dont talk about other schools in a loci

[boreal lava]

But if any admits have questions about tufts CS or anything else about tufts I’ll try to answer as much as I can

[iron loom]

idk why they’re aski by

they don’t exactly have any competition

[crystal karma]

Is it required?

[boreal lava]

Anytime mate, glad it helped you get into Tufts!

[cyan meteor]

Is that a required field

[iron loom]

idk it’s not marked as required

[crystal karma]

Leave it blank if possible Id say

[iron loom]

the form is open until april 19th and they don’t make any indication that earlier is better

[boreal lava]

Oh that’s just like where you plan to deposit if you want to stay on the WL

[iron loom]

yes but i don’t know where that’s what i said !

[boreal lava]

I’d say put undecided there?

[iron loom]

like just give me a fucking rejection at least then i’d be able to give up on it when it’s hopeless

[spice tendon]

ahhh

anyone else who made it dm me!!

congrats to everyone !

[cyan meteor]

Congratulations 🎉🎉

[iron loom]

“we appreciate the mixed emotions you feel right now” if you cared about me you’d let me in liars

please don’t

[cyan meteor]

Sorry

[iron loom]

[candid kindle]

i’ve only gotten waitlists oml

[wicked prawn]

@somber epoch GANG

[somber epoch]

rejection gang gang

[wicked prawn]

and we move onward

to the next college!

[analog coyote]

Stay strong guys

[somber epoch]

its looking bad for these top 20 ngl

[wicked prawn]

me too girl

[analog coyote]

Stay strong

[somber epoch]

maybe boston college wnats me..

[analog coyote]

Stay strong

[somber epoch]

maybe.. maybe harvard wants me

[analog coyote]

Stay strong

[iron loom]

what’s the point of joining the waitlist someone convince me to

[analog coyote]

Stay strong

[somber epoch]

if you really want to then go ahead, if you dont then dont

[mystic geyser]

Stay strong

[iron loom]

not helpful

[mystic geyser]

chance of getting into Tufts

[somber epoch]

if you really really wanna go to tufts then stay on

if you dont care then dont

[iron loom]

they want me to justify wanting to go there even more as if they don’t have why tufts as a prompt wtf guys

[boreal lava]

I would ask yourself if going to tufts would be a viable option and where you see yourself being

[somber epoch]

beg more

[wicked prawn]

im gonna be sooo completely honest with you, do you REALLY like tufts like that or is it just a prestige kinda thing

[iron loom]

wym where i see myself i see myself coasting and then falling off mf

and one day i will become the soil as we all will be one day. mushroom food yummy

[wicked prawn]

ok so

[boreal lava]

Why do you want to go to tufts in the first place? What draws you into the school

[somber epoch]

for me it was the campus 💀 and the fact everyone is nerdy

[iron loom]

i’m not good at that that’s why my why tufts was so bad i can’t justify why i like it i just do lol

[boreal lava]

theres gotta be something that draws you in

like that thing that draws in your gut feeling

[iron loom]

gut feelings aren’t words

that’s not how it works “i like it” isn’t justification

[boreal lava]

for me it was the smaller campus, the aspects of the academic program I was applying to, being friendly towards people that are neurodivergent, etc

[analog coyote]

Sounds like you don’t wanna do the waitlist

[somber epoch]

yeah the crazy inclusivity also drew me in

[analog coyote]

Doesn’t the campus stink

[whole trout]

small community and proximity to oppportunities all i got rly

[boreal lava]

my advice though after being here a year - avoid the westchester kids with canada goose jackets

[iron loom]

wtf????? no?

[boreal lava]

we got a very sizeable pop of that type here

[warped mauve]

WHY IS THERE SO MANU

I WENT THERE

AND THATS ALL I SAW

😭😭

[boreal lava]

half the school LOL

[warped mauve]

NO I WAS LIKE AINT NO WAY…

[somber epoch]

youre being really pessimistic with it so if you really do wanna go then just stay on the waitlist

you never know

[iron loom]

they were rude to me tbh just because i’m not good at expressing with words how i feel doesn’t mean i don’t fucking want it. jfc

[analog coyote]

Okay okay

Let’s take a breather

It sucks

I know

[iron loom]

don’t talk to me please you just bother me

[boreal lava]

meanwhile I just wear the same type of outfit daily during the winter and have no fashion sense

[iron loom]

being condescending doesn’t help

[warped mauve]

thats better than the amount of Canada goose

[boreal lava]

i aint dropping no 2k on a coat

[warped mauve]

😋

[somber epoch]

gravitea youre complaining that others are being rude to you but youve been very passive aggressive the entire time ive spoken with you plz calm down

[iron loom]

ok

[somber epoch]

im sure he didnt mean any harm lol have a positive attitude

[iron loom]

i got annoyed the first time they replied to me and then they came back for more

[distant gull]

Accepted!!!

[steady needle]

you know if its possible to switch into cs at tufts?

[analog coyote]

If that’s how you interpreted it then I’m sorry but I wasn’t trying to annoy you

[rough veldt]

Omg so happy for you

[boreal lava]

it is VERY EASY

[somber epoch]

congrats :D

[boreal lava]

EXTREMELY EASY

[warped mauve]

u go in as undeclared

[distant gull]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[warped mauve]

Slay congrats!

[boreal lava]

Everyone goes in undeclared so you can just go in CS

[steady needle]

DUBS

[analog coyote]

Big dubbbsssss

[steady needle]

undeclared, so can u go into any school?

i got into arts sci so can i go into engineering

[boreal lava]

you can internally transfer to eng

[somber epoch]

i shouldve applied undeclared

[boreal lava]

i can send the info

[steady needle]

thats easy yeah

[boreal lava]

the deets

[steady needle]

okay thanks

[boreal lava]

https://students.tufts.edu/academic-advice-and-support/resources/first-year-and-transfer-students/transferring-within-tufts-liberal-arts-tofrom-engineering

[analog coyote]

I’ve been Googling it honestly and if you go undeclared in a college which allows you to freely internally transfer I don’t think you’d get the benefits of a undeclared. Maybe, I’m not sure, but I know colleges with strict majors block out undeclared from internally transferring

Like UMass Amherst

[somber epoch]

i mean my second choice was undeclared so i guess i just didnt make the cut fr

[boreal lava]

I mean with tufts right

they ask you for "whats your first choice"

like they dont ask you to go into a major

they just want to know what you want to do

[steady needle]

cs is in arts+sci right?

[boreal lava]

like 15-20 percent of the school is doing cs now iirc

[boreal lava]

both a/s and eng

I'm doing it in eng

[steady needle]

is there really a difference between them

[rough veldt]

Wow that’s a lot

[boreal lava]

yes theres a sizeable difference

Eng is more structured, a/s is more flexible

think more cs requirements and more math

a/s you only have to take like 8-9 cs classes + like discrete and linear

eng you also have to have calc 3 + other electives

[mystic geyser]

welp, I'm dipping out from this megathread now

nice talking to y'all 👋

and hope y'all the best of luck with you future endeavors too

[boreal lava]

if anyone needs a link to the tufts general discord server, you can find it in the sidebar of the tufts sub or you can dm me

not a mod there but I can get you there lol

[spice tendon]

does tufts '27 have a server

[warped mauve]

yes

its dead

tho

[spice tendon]

does anyone use it

[warped mauve]

ill send

[spice tendon]

aw

ty <3

[iron loom]

what's the difference between loci and what they ask for in the joining the waitlist form is there any point in emailing if you write your stuff in the form

[boreal lava]

i think the loci is in the form

[iron loom]

i don't want to fuck something up

[wicked prawn]

idk if its the same for tufts but for my uva waitlist it was just saying i agree to be on the waitlist

[iron loom]

tufts has a whole thing

[wicked prawn]

nd then my loci would be sent to ao through email attached as a doc

[wicked prawn]

oh

[iron loom]

they also want to know where i plan to go like???? i haven't decided that yet i'm still working on it my g

[wicked prawn]

oh ya u prob submit ur loci there

they dont expect the letter now

you have till may

[iron loom]

the deadline is april 19th

i do not have until may

[wicked prawn]

oh YIKES

[iron loom]

which is 4 days after i'm scheduled to go to an admitted students event at rochester

[wicked prawn]

you'll get ur decisions in by april 1st

[iron loom]

my decisions are in for everything except wm which i don't plan on going to idk why i even applied honestly

[wicked prawn]

thats two ish weeks of preparing a loci

oh

[iron loom]

i will probably go to ur or uvm or ithaca or

idfk

probably ur

ithaca is kinda going under tbh

[wicked prawn]

ya girl idk

persevere girl

dont stress

u got this

[iron loom]

i don't really

[wicked prawn]

...

ok damn u dont then like

waht do u wanna hear

[iron loom]

idk man the waitlist isn't exactly an acceptance so i don't really got anything

at least i got in somewhere i like

but rochester the city is shit

[wicked prawn]

this sorta evaluation shouldve been made prior to applying

so just play ur cards right

[iron loom]

well i didn't feel as shitty before

i did evaluate and now i just feel like fresh shit on the downtown sidewalk

things change

[wicked prawn]

take a break girl lol

this pessimism is not necessary

[iron loom]

ok

[ruby kestrel]

hi guys

fashionably late but

my friend got rejected :(

[wicked prawn]

its ok! im sure he has other acceptances/ more decisions to consider

best of luck

[iron loom]

gonna go see school counselor tomorrow about what i'm supposed to do now and try not to have Emotions™️

at least i made cookie brownie

[ruby kestrel]

i hope so cause i wanna be in boston with himm

[somber epoch]

sucks to be you huh

persevere

[harsh scroll]

Is it worth joining the admitted students network

[wicked prawn]

fate will run its course

[warped mauve]

wisr is worth it

[harsh scroll]

The website they sent us

How many

[sacred hedge]

I have like 20 total but 14 of them r rlly good schools

[rough veldt]

!chance me for tufts

[rough veldt]

Ohh makes sense then

I had 14 schools 3 safeties. 2 of my safeties were still really solid tho

[sacred hedge]

ya I only had 2 safeties but my dad got scared and made me do 2 more lol

[rough veldt]

ohh hm I see

my parents wanted me to apply to less safeties

tbh Drexel didn’t need to be on my list

[reef venture]

guys it’s probably gonna be really expensive

I’m nervous

[rough veldt]

shush let me enjoy the happiness

my parents sounded happy for once but maybe that’s cuz I didn’t see their faces

[iron loom]

Even though I literally did published researched w a tufts professor 💀

[rough veldt]

goddamn

I’m so sorry

Tufts give me enough aid to go challenge

[crystal karma]

i did the fly in program and got waitlisted which makes me a bit sad

[rough veldt]

if i know im not going ill withdraw

depends on how much aid they give me tho

[distant gull]

Oh yeah fr anyone who got waitlisted I gotchu probably gonna decline

Tufts horrible with aid ripppp

Are all of your guys financial aid packages releasing the 24th?

[mental needle]

yea that's what mine says

[warped mauve]

tufts aid is actually pretty good imo

usually they release the day after decisions even with the release date

[river path]

yeah my aid was fantastic

[whole trout]

real

[whole trout]

how much u get from em if u dont mind

[river path]

75k

[whole trout]

so how much u pay yearly

[river path]

12k

[whole trout]

oh shi

my efc like 10k not sure what to expect

[river path]

That’s mine.

[whole trout]

well i aint get in but like

wl

: )

[whole trout]

oop

jus deciding if its worth staying on the wl

[river path]

you should

if you really like Tufts

[whole trout]

prolly will

[river path]

it can’t rly hurt

[whole trout]

i mean i do jus not my favorite school on my list

[river path]

fair

[whole trout]

wouldnt apply if i didnt like it

[boreal lava]

for my aid, I have the post 9/11 GI that covers a very decent amount of my education

rn I'm only paying around 30k? manageable for my family rn with savings/extended fam

tufts actually matches a part of it which gave me an extra 5k in aid, which was pretty cool

[crystal karma]

@boreal lava some questions

Tufts is definitely #2 on my list

[boreal lava]

fire away

[crystal karma]

I heard they had some assurance program

That allows you to get to dental school faster

Do you know anything about that?

[boreal lava]

https://dental.tufts.edu/academics/postgraduate-programs/tufts-eight-year-early-assurance

this?

[crystal karma]

Yes

[boreal lava]

If so, yes this is common for all of tufts pre-profs

they have it for med and vet as well

[crystal karma]

Omg

Great

[boreal lava]

very competitive iirc, but very worth it if you get it

[crystal karma]

Right right

Ok another one lol

One thing that kinda

Makes tufts iffy to me

Is the community

This is from what I’ve heard

It’s more on the dead social side

[boreal lava]

its not completely dead perse

but leans that way in terms of parties

[crystal karma]

I see

[boreal lava]

I find that theres a healthy club culture here

[crystal karma]

I’m a very extroverted person

So that’s definitely an intake while looking into schools

[boreal lava]

but if you like parties/drinking that type of stuff, then you'll probably find yourself trying to sneak into more MIT parties than parties here

[crystal karma]

Right I heard about that

Dorms/dining ?

[boreal lava]

Most if not all dorms are solid/liveable

I'm in a forced triple and its not the worst thing ever

the mods/trailers you might have heard of

they arent bad

they're actually quite nice iirc

ive been in a few rooms and they're not bad at all

dining is solid, you'll definitely enjoy the food

only con is that weekends the dining halls close at 8

weekdays close at 9

food on the run closes later but isnt open on weekend

so you'll have to navigate some crowds occasionally but with the overenrolled class moving off campus next year it should get a bit better

[crystal karma]

Ooo

ok cause I’m rlly considering tufts😭

definitely my second choice rn

Is the aid great?

[warped mauve]

omg slay

yes it is

[boreal lava]

from what i've heard if you have a low EFC you should expect really nice aid

[crystal karma]

me being middle class-

[warped mauve]

did u run a net price calc

[boreal lava]

I know someone with like 20-30k efc that got near full ride

but yeah run the calcs

[crystal karma]

i can’t because my living situation is weird lol

i have to wait for the aid office to contact me

[crystal karma]

OMG

ok

wait

[river path]

I’m assuming you r a Tufts ‘27

[crystal karma]

Stop this is giving me hope

[boreal lava]

theres tons of people on the finaid spectrum here - I have floormates that took out six figure student loans

[river path]

I know someone admitted this year w/ an efc around 20k only paying like 5k a year

[boreal lava]

oh btw DO NOT DO THIS

BAD IDEA

[crystal karma]

yea I’m not

[crystal karma]

Prayers up

[river path]

I’m definitely hopeful for u 💪

[warped mauve]

yes

[crystal karma]

It seems like such a cute school

[boreal lava]

it is

I love the area sm

nestled right into a suburb and close to the city

even more beautiful in spring/summer/fall

[violet trail]

[rough veldt]

Oh I’m graduating undergrad no debt honey

No way

I can’t do that AND med school

[rough veldt]

Dude this is giving me so much hope

That’s my EFC

[tranquil hinge]

hi guys i just found this
im a cah mod but also in the Tufts Server so lmk if yall have any questions or want the link to the server :3c <3 congrats to those who got in!!💗

[violet trail]

[distant gull]

Yea the campus and Medford is a really nice area

Does anyone know much about the SMFA program? I’m curious I didn’t apply for it but still heard good things, I’m interested in minoring in art just in general wherever I go

[crystal karma]

REAL

[steady needle]

are the calcs pretty accurate?

their npc says 50k total cost while fafsa efc is 30k

for good aid

[river path]

they were for me

[rough veldt]

praying that they’re fairly accurate

[crystal karma]

To the people who got in, y’all got a letter from the person who read y’all apps?

[rough veldt]

Yes I did

[crystal karma]

so it was a copy and paste?

[warped mauve]

wdym by letter

[crystal karma]

an email

[warped mauve]

umm

[crystal karma]

This was mine

[south night]

What is tuft’s waitlist acceptances

[crystal karma]

I just wanna know if it was a copy a paste

[south night]

I heard its pretty good but thats just from a google search idk how accurate

[rough veldt]

Yea it was copy paste

[crystal karma]

Bye

Not me thinking I’m special

[rough veldt]

It didn’t say anything specific so I just assumed it was sent to all tufts admits at my school

[rough veldt]

Tufts CDS should help you

From a look over of the past two years, they typically waitlist less than 3000 and while two years ago they admitted over 200 off the waitlist, last year they admitted no one

Checked the third year back and less than 1500 waitlisted nearly 100 admitted

So. There’s no real pattern

[old schooner]

wait when did you get this

[crystal karma]

Today

Like 2 hours ago

[old schooner]

oh i found it

yea its copy and paste

it was in promotions

[crystal karma]

THATS CRAZY

Me thinking they actually connected with me

[old schooner]

lmao

[boreal lava]

[rough veldt]

[river path]

Last year Tufts accepted 2 people from Oklahoma so I’m waiting & hoping there’s someone from Oklahoma going with me 😅

[steady needle]

where did u find that stat?

[river path]

on their website

[steady needle]

i think thats how many enrolled

[river path]

ya

I wanna find another jumbo from Oklahoma 😚

[river path]

meant enrolled not accepted my b

[whole trout]

[iron loom]

54 and i’m not one of them lol

i suffer and i die

[rough veldt]

Did you req your file from tufts

[boreal lava]

They wiped everything.

[rough veldt]

Rip. Ty

[iron loom]

same

my legacy classmate got rejected so im getting some schadenfreude there

4 people from my school applied this year, 2 rejected 2 waitlisted

how big is your school holy shit

wh

how big is your school !!!

my senior class is 125 lol

WHAT

that’s not allowed

the largest school in my district is like 1500. for the whole high school

you’re probably from new york or something

i’m from a normal people place with normal people schools

[warped mauve]

wait so u cant

View ur file

?

😭

[iron loom]

my high school has like 500-600 but i go to a 6-12 with like 800-900 total

i go to public school

we get like 2-3 ivies per year

2 last year 2 this year so far

last years were cornell and yale this year it’s penn and columbia

i go to a specialized public school (arts magnet)

i’m in visual arts we dominate by having like 1/4 of the student body lol

can someone do my stats homework so i don’t have to

that makes me not feel as bad for you getting waitlisted since i actually wanted to go there

[whole trout]

my schools 2k LOL sr class like 500+

[iron loom]

in my suffer eta

probably going to rochester maybe uvm i’m applying for their special liberal arts people first year program

i’m so pessimistic i can’t be in denial :/

is it stupid that i have to take a connecting flight through newark to get from pennsylvania to vermont

i think it is

anyway here’s a nice picture i took when i visited a college i don’t get to go to

in my bitter era

[rough veldt]

tufts isn’t my ideal school but like. of my options that I have either no response or a positive response from, it’s number 5 and the top 4 are all sub 5 per centers so we all know how likely that is

i haven’t visited so. aaaaa

honestly it’d be my number 4 if I wasn’t obsessed with what my parents wanted from me

[violet trail]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/11z11z5/what_college_gives_you_weird_vibes/

why is there so much tufts slander on this post

not acceptable

[boreal lava]

I mean

Tufts is the quintessential quirky school

Surprise level = 0

[grizzled crater]

Got a 4.7 weighted and a 1400 SAT and I got admitted

BECAUSE IM ALL AMERICAN IN TRACK 💀

And my essays were good 🤭

[violet trail]

W congrats

[grizzled crater]

Thanks

[spice tendon]

That’s so cool omg

I run track too but I barely make my state cuts 😭🤪💀💀

love the sport tho ❤️

[whole trout]

i quit track <3

[lament imp]

Not really big no

Private school brain deluded A2C

[crystal karma]

public school for the win! It builds character

[lament imp]

Realest thing I’ve heard on here in a sec

[grizzled crater]

Would you say 550 is big?

For senior class

[crystal karma]

I think so

well it also depends on where you live, like I know texas have huge public schools but New England's tend to be less

[grizzled crater]

😃

[steady needle]

when will this drop 😭

[rough veldt]

that’s when I’m gonna let myself celebrate

I haven’t rly let my self celebrate Yet

[grizzled crater]

Is anyone going to Jumbo day next week 👀

[rough veldt]

Probably not

TwT Tuuuuufts

why do you make it difficult for me to attend

[lament imp]

Mine just dropped

[rough veldt]

this is barely enough, but it is enough

so, tufts ‘27 officially going in the nick

[old schooner]

Anyone else get this neubauer scholarship?

[rough veldt]

nope

I got the Balfour Scholarship

[old schooner]

whats that

[warped mauve]

hopefully its somewhat good!

[rough veldt]

it is :)

[warped mauve]

YAY!!

[old schooner]

I dont even see it on google lol

[warped mauve]

tufts gives out scholarships?

[steady needle]

Yep

how much was urs?

[boreal lava]

That’s new

Oh okay

Neubauer is like their version of very good merit aid

The other scholarships are alumni donations

[steady needle]

How many people get it?

[boreal lava]

Idk

According to alumni/website, it literally looks like 10-20 people get it

They don’t publish exact numbers but its probably the best you can get

As it’s advertised as “allowing people to graduate debt free”

[warped mauve]

ohh its for loans

which are replaced with the grant

[old schooner]

yea its kinda troll

[steady needle]

I think thats old

they dont really offer loans anymore?

maybe

[old schooner]

I dont understand, if u dont have it, do you have to pay full cost??

[steady needle]

No

how much did you get from it?

[old schooner]

i got like 46k

[warped mauve]

its tufts loans

basically

the program covers the loans

for u

so u dont need to take out loans

[old schooner]

But like isnt that just need based??

[warped mauve]

depending on ur financial aid

its really prestigious

[steady needle]

how much was from scholars?

46k?

[warped mauve]

apparently

[old schooner]

Yea

[warped mauve]

no

well like

what happens is tufts gives you your financial aid package with loans

and then the scholars program covers them for u

[old schooner]

thats the stipend i think

[warped mauve]

or something

[steady needle]

its included in financial aid

oh i see it

[old schooner]

Yea

I got the 5.5k too

[steady needle]

Oh i get it now

if we didnt get it

it would be 5.5k loans

[old schooner]

The grant is like 40k

ur joking…

[steady needle]

wdym

[old schooner]

Not tryna be ungrateful, but isnt that like almost nothing for it to be one of their top scholarships

[warped mauve]

they dont give merit scholarships

at all

[steady needle]

Yeah i get what u mean

its not really scholarships its more about letting u graduate without loans

[old schooner]

yea ig

[steady needle]

they only take the top 20

so congrats

[warped mauve]

!!

[steady needle]

idk if this number is true

[old schooner]

Top 20 of what tho

ur major?

[steady needle]

admitted students

Not sure

[old schooner]

wtf 😭

[steady needle]

because u also go in undeclared

so its top 20 out of the admitted pool or so

[old schooner]

tufts was like a hard target/ reach for me

[warped mauve]

its a sign tbh

[steady needle]

this is what i have read

[old schooner]

regret only applying to brown as ivy then

[steady needle]

meh doesnt mean much signs

got rejected at northwestern today

[old schooner]

i got wl

sadge

[steady needle]

Neubauer is a W

[old schooner]

Im confused tho, wont there be insane applicants to fill all 12? Or has the infamous tufts yield protection wl’d all of them

[steady needle]

I dont know how they choose them

but there arent many of them

[warped mauve]

theres probably numerous factors

[steady needle]

yeah

[warped mauve]

they probably wanted u and wanted to get rid of the loans that might be holding u back from joining

[old schooner]

hmm fair

@steady needle r u gonna commit then, like is it ur top choice

[steady needle]

i have more decisions

so ill wait and see what happens with those

[old schooner]

yea same here

[warped mauve]

congrats to both of yall!

tho!

[old schooner]

Tyyy

@warped mauve so ur a student there rn?

[warped mauve]

oh no i was admitted ED but i did visit

[old schooner]

Ohh ok

[warped mauve]

i know a good deal tho so if u have questions u can always dm me or ask weatherman

[old schooner]

fs ty

Do yk if tufts matches aid offers?

[warped mauve]

yes ive heard of that happening

and ur in a good spot too

with the scholars

[old schooner]

bet

[warped mauve]

theyre really generous tho

so even if u ask theyll probably give u more

[old schooner]

Im boutta get my usc merit scholarship decision next week so

[warped mauve]

ahh gl

[old schooner]

Oh fr?

[warped mauve]

yeah with reason

[old schooner]

Cuz they like matched my efc exactly lol

[boreal lava]

I do know tufts matches finaid offers

[old schooner]

like on the dot

[warped mauve]

oo

[boreal lava]

I’m “full pay” with my EFC mainly being my post 9/11 gi bill

[warped mauve]

for me they gave me more than expected

so maybe they might give u more??

[boreal lava]

I had no aid but they helped me use my GI Bill benefits to make tufts affordable and also matched a part of the program

[warped mauve]

omg wait

@boreal lava do yk if we can view our admissions file

when we get there

or do they shred it like nyu

[boreal lava]

Nope they clear it iirc

[warped mauve]

NOOO

[old schooner]

noooo

[boreal lava]

Sorry 😦

[warped mauve]

thats actually foul

[boreal lava]

Someone tried and they said nothing was there

Just what they submitted

[warped mauve]

time to become friends with my ao...

[boreal lava]

I would’ve loved to see but they shred em apparently

[old schooner]

thats crazy

[boreal lava]

Like finaid office there though is amazing

I initially entered in with a super high EFC and my family could not full pay without loans

But they helped with the GI bill and now it’s very affordable

[warped mauve]

ahh thats amazing

[steady needle]

shout out tufts 💯

[radiant kettle]

oh I got neubauer???

omg?!

are the loans for all four years?

[steady needle]

u got loans?

[radiant kettle]

no I mean like

will there be no loans for 4 years

[steady needle]

yep

[radiant kettle]

oh!

[steady needle]

did u get any notification about it, or did it just show up in the financial aid letter?

[rough veldt]

Shoutout to tufts I’m literally dropping megathreads for all of my other admits now

Only ones left are the 5 schools I’m still waiting on

[warped mauve]

SLAYY

[radiant kettle]

I got a notification of a new update in my applicant portal and then there was a new letter notifying me and explaining it

[steady needle]

huh?

where was the letter?

and what time did u get it

Oh i see it now

idk why i didnt see it before

[radiant kettle]

lol I didn’t even open it at first because I just got the email with the finaid stuff and I thought it was that

[steady needle]

yep i thought it was that too

never saw it until now

[rough veldt]

Yeah me too

[old schooner]

lol how r all the ppl who got it in this chat

[warped mauve]

fr

[steady needle]

yeah theres only like 12 freshman who do it at tufts

potentially 4 are here

[boreal lava]

2024 class they only listed like 12 people on the site

There could be more

I didn’t even know it was a thing until today LOL

[rough veldt]

Oh the Neubauer?? Yeah that is crazy honestly

[rough veldt]

I usually don’t pay attention to scholarship names it doesn’t mean much to me just the money I’m getting

[steady needle]

theres a scholars program to it

[grizzled crater]

I went to Peddie school and "dropped out" (I chose to leave even though I had A+s) due to academic burnout and loneliness and I still got into Tufts

[rough veldt]

Oh lol

I’m down for that tho nbd

[grizzled crater]

does anyone know what I can do to prepare for CS at Tufts University?

I already have programming experience but im a bit rusty cause I haven't done any coding since last school year (my school doesn't have AP Comp Sci B)

[boreal lava]

Get some c++ experience!!!

You can also look at the current course HW assignments to get you an idea of what the work is like

https://www.cs.tufts.edu/comp/11/

I sent the wrong link three times

[steady needle]

whats ur major?

[rough veldt]

I’m Poli Sci + Bio dual major at Tufts I think

they actually have a really cool program that directly addresses what I want to do, which is very exciting

[steady needle]

Yea looks like its for econ/poli sci majors

im econ

[rough veldt]

oh, damn, that’s kinda sweet then

[rough veldt]

oh cool! So much respect for that you guys do so much directly applicable work

And it’s rly rly complicated

[steady needle]

"Please be aware that in future years the parent contribution could double if the number in college goes from two to one" Thats crazy... does it matter how much they are paying?

[steady needle]

what does Balfour come with?

[grizzled crater]

Would it be possible for me to study CompSci and then do the dental program?

[boreal lava]

you can do anything you put your mind to

as long as you take the classes necessary for dental school then totally, theres some predental groups on campus

[grizzled crater]

I’m prolly going to do predental and comp Sci cause I’m interested in both subjects

[rough veldt]

It’s similar to neubauer where it’s a loan replacement grant

yeah I mean one of my major ECs is an affinity space so

actually I’m not bitter about this at all, it’s such a slay to have that huge grant not be in loans

I would’ve cried huge tears if they gave me a loan as huge as the Balfour scholarship they gave me

[distant gull]

Does anyone know if tufts sends acceptance letters?

[steady needle]

how much was balfour? 5.5k?

[warped mauve]

they send a letter of ur acceptance

thats ab it

[rough veldt]

I wish 😭 1.7k

[steady needle]

ohh damn

[distant gull]

Cool thanks!

someone confirm this

also this is more copium material for those who were rejected

[boreal lava]

Reposting from gen

1. hill is propaganda, they're probably some polisci major whos stuck in bush or something. But, i'll turn this around and say accessibility here SUCKS. If you struggle to get around/use a wheelchair, absolutely do not come here unless you want to carpool with TUPD every day
2. if it has the t, its in boston.
3. modular housing is actually nice, person who wrote has clearly never been in them
4. prefabricated houses??? this person has never stepped foot in the sec/jcc

everything else mentioned is basically true - we are overenrolled but dining should get better after renos are completed this summer. health center and parties are like the massive massive cons, along with campus looks during the winters

is it worth 80k? to me? ehhhhhh

With aid? I would still come here
