Thank you for your interest in an alumni interview with Tufts University. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you this opportunity. Due to the volume of requests and our alumni volunteer availability, we are unable to guarantee interviews.
Interviews are completely optional at Tufts and many successful applicants never complete one. In our holistic process, we read three essays and at least two letters of recommendation per applicant, in addition to learning about your academic and extracurricular accomplishments. We still have many ways to get to know you through your application.
is this an auto rejection?
oh i was hust gonan mention thay
it is not an auto rejection
i really hope so thank youu
ok thank god
volume of requests and alumni availability
they tell you right there!
donāt stress abt it!
yea i got that too im so cooked š«”š«”
me too :/
Relax guys everything is alright
Dont like yāall either š”
Auto rejection š
no honestly if i havenāt gotten one till now i just automatically assume there is no availability
why yall telling me this and making me stress out
Its an auto rejection
why are you doing this
people dont need more stress lol..
I wasnāt saying it was one
I was saying it in a āI canāt believe youāre even asking that questionā way
Iām realizing now that it didnāt translate well through text
I tried to add the š to show it š. My bad
I think they do
Then they can truely experience the tufts experience
Sorry if this was already asked but does anyone have any idea when the decision comes out?
Theyāll send us an email like how washu did prob a week before
Oh okay
tufts syndrome
whens rd?
prob in next two weeks
Maybe itās a sign š
i think so too
What is that?
(Or are we joking Iām sorry I canāt tell š)
its a term for yield protection
idk where it came from but ya lol
Is tufts a yield protection girlie then
yeah i think so
Omg new coping mechanism uncovered!
i kinda want tufts now
cos their poli sci is amazing
but also i put no effort into the supps
fr?
I want tufts so bad actually. That SMFA dual degree program omg
when is tufts rd coming out?
they'll send an email but im guessing next thursday
no
it was the scariest mail ever
i thought i was rejected that start was something
New email?
i swear
that was so scary
bro why are they baiting us like that
lmaooo heyyy
NO WAYYYYYYYT
THIS IS SO FUNNY
Iāve never seen anyone else with this cat
I thought I get rejected wtf
Dude same š
same lol
Why would they word the subject line like that
Do not EVER say āapplication updateā without it being a decision šš
Actual bait
It has to be status update
It's a likely to be rejected lmaoo
Oh hell nah
Bro I skimmed through the tufts email at first and thought it was a rejection letter
anyway when did rd for tufts come last year
Scary ass email
Mf titled it āapplication updateā and opened with āthank you for submitting an applicationā
They tryna scare us
Tufts š”
The couldāve done it in some other way
bro why did they cryptically write that email
tuck u tufts
Aos just toying with us atp
They should have given us a decision date
NO FOR REAL
whats the point of this email
i lowkey thought they were releasing the rd date
just to tell us they will tell us the date shortly and scare tf out of us
tuesday 3/21
To scare the living shit out of us it seems
Same
i was about to go to a corner in my school and open it
they sent that email so they could lurk this chat fr
i was so scared 
SAME LMAO
guys that email scared me so bad
my heart literally stopped
Like Duke app checklist gone
Final transcript disappeared from my checklistā¦
oh
yup, endgame time
no
no portal astrology
Oh nvm, it is financial aid checklist
fyi, colleges remove checklists during decision season anyhow
especially when they're loading up decisions
THE WAY I JUST CHECKED TOO
takes up unnecessary bandwith when thousands r gonna open the application portal
LOL
i submitted a 23 page research paper and 10 minutes of music as part of my portfolio š
But i have some pending fin aid docs
hopefully they actually looked at atleast a bit of either
I didnt submit anyā¦
me either...
i just applied 
like truly optional not like an optional supplemental
I play piano, but i have recs and awards related to it
even i submitted my portfolio late on their portal š
Rlly?
so if u ed'ed to tufts u have a higher chance
Ed for tufts š
NYU ed1 waitlisted me along with ed2 neu rejection
oof
what's wrong with tufts ed?
it could increase your chance in the ED rounds...i know they responded to one of my friends who was deferred and said, in regards to the regular decision round, that them applying ED would "be considered."
neu ed š
I mean, if it is ur dream school then go ahead, but i d consider another college if u dont have a dream school
considering their yield protection eding prob holds some weight
I rlly wanted to study there
especially if u have a cracked application too
There was a reason
it definitely does. yield protection is also called "tufts syndrome" haha
im surprised i got waitlisted from neu since i didnt do my srar
i heard somewhere tufts basically invented yield prot
and some people have the same reason for tufts as you did for neu!
but i might be wrong
i applied to tufts bec i really like the environment
yeah they're credited with starting it
and applicant's interest is still listed as considered on their cds
right
hopefully my portfolio shows interest
i shoulda sent the AOs an email
students are silly goofy and down to earth while secretly being academic nukes
FUCK
did yuo guys send thank you notes to ur interviewers
they know you're doing it to get your name on their screen
i was thinking maybe a question + im interested af in ur school type email
shoulda done it
I DIDNT EVEN INTERVIEW BRO
i lowkey wish i applied to more boston schools
my interview recently moved to my state and during our converstaion we were talking abt fav food and i recommended him a restaurant in the thank you note š
i only applied to harvard and neu
i only applied to tufts so u already did better than me
i didnt even finish my neu application ngl
so i technically only completed on boston school's app
š
why š
fair enough
my heart stopped
LMAO
and then i read it and thought the AOs were mean af
it was such a useless email
y
me 2!
tufts just keeps sending useless emails to give us all heart attacks
tufts
i gotta know who is still trying to submit additional materials in mid-march
That time they sent applicants a puzzle while Ed ppl were stressing ā¦.
Tufts does a little trolling š
i did that puzzle while procrastinating my other applications š¤©
no i didn't get one either
LMAOOOO
random tufts student told me its tmmrw
not reliable source
holy shit what did u research
u don't need to, i didn't lol
i don't think tufts does yield protection anymore
maybe in the past
honestly maybe i shouldn't speak to this cuz im just a random high schooler
i was just saying cuz their avg sat seems pretty high
academic music paper
Usually not on Fridays
I donāt think theyāre right
True
is that why the checklist is gone?
would they usually get rid of it earlier or right before decisions are released
No thatās because the squirrels hacked into the portals and theyāve invaded the office
šæļøšæļøšæļøšæļø
are you joking or being serious?
Me too
Please dont scare me like this š
As someone who doesn't work in admisisons, I can confirm I have no idea what's going on
Thereās no way tufts will drop like that
No I seriously doubt it
They said they would announce when the deciisons will come out
They have yet to do so
omg i loved the squirrel lore
Is the withdraw option gone?
hi guys so i realized i spelt tufts as tuft in my college essay so it's prob over 
Auto rejection
no legit
the name was even in the prompt

um
at this point
i can only pray
LOL
ok this is actually frustrating how did i manage to do that
ima hope they like my other essays ha ha ha ha :D
nah i fucked up a school's name and still got in. i think it just depends on if they notice it but i think its a super common mispelling
also if anyone here is tufts '28 hmu if we haven't talked already lol
wait itās coming today?
wdym
nah
most likely the 26th, the 19th if we are lucky
it was tuesday, the 21st last year
so 40% 19, and 40% the 26th, 20% i have no clue
probably not
tuff
tuft
tfut
actually, itās tufts š¤š
āduring my tufts interview i kept pronouncing the school āyale.ā chat am i cooked?ā
nah they tuft
(Ok but is this actually real)
no haha
i was reminded of the reddit dude who almost kissed his yale interviewer
haha iām pretty sure that was a joke
itās been a tuesday for the last couple years
im going to place my bet on thursday
Thatās when itāll probably be
pls let it be tues 3/19 
wait actually it cant be thursday cuz that's ivy day

could be thursday this week because they sent out that email last thursday so a full week would be the 21st
Application checklist has disappeared from portal š
Check
that happened as of the email they sent thursday
I checked it yesterday, they were there
It only shows my finaid checklist now
Me too
ong gl everyone!
tuft
!tufts
When will decisions come out
prolly the 26th
tufts tmr?
Inshallah
no way!!
why not
ohh
well
it's less then 10 days till march 26th too
soooo
thatās true
tufts might want to just drop this year
fr
ngl regular decisions seems to be finishing soon
i finally got a reply to my email i sent a month ago and they sent out the student programming list thingy today
so acc maybe tomorrow??
i donāt know itās so early for them!!
iām still betting on 3/26
but who knows š¤·āāļø š¤«
nah it cant be as easrly as tmrw
thing is, tufts sent the ed decision notification two days before they released
this thursday is still possible
of waiting?
maybe but when was the last time they did a non-Tuesdsy
this year's ed decisions
were on a thursday
ill beg the elephant statues in my house for you
but
were previous year ED decisions on Tuesdays
š¤
ummm idk
decisions day astrology
the stress gets to you
iām acc not in school rn
which gives me a lot of time to just think haha
Tufts is scaring me with that 10% acceptance rate
hey man
in my experience
acceptance rates can be really misleading
u never know how you compare to most of the applicant pool, u might be in the top 5 percent for one college and in the top 20 for another
just ignore the number and keep hope lol
yesss
LMAOOO
sorry meant to reply to this
i am committed yeah
congrats on cmu thats huge
Man thank you but the school isnāt really for me
damn
Iām looking forward to tufts for sure
are u cs?
Nah haha
wait what did u ed?
Iām looking to do stats/data sci
Nope
Iām looking forward to hearing back from tufts
Lol
oh wait so you haven't committed to cmu?
sorry lol was just confused by ur username
Nah not yet, but very likely, if I donāt get any more good news in the next two weeks
im sure cmu is still dominant in data sci
Theyāre good but I just donāt really vibe with the school
honestly i rlly wanted cmu cuz of their comp bio program but i just chose tufts over cmu to ed lol
Theyāve got a competitive and almost toxic culture
yeah
The campus is insanely small for the population
Also it just has a shit ton of Asians and Chinese students, and me being one myself, Iām tryna get away from a school with a huge Asian population lol
Just to experience something new ykwim
at least ik a lot of people at neu who talk about how crowded it is
Yup same problem
yeah boston seems better
not 100 percent sure but considering between bio + cs, bme, and the likes
Thatās dope, are u premed
as of now, yeah, but im not sure if ill commit
Are you admitted to arts&science or engineering?
Do you happen to know if itās easy switching to school of engi if I get accepted to A&S?
afaik, its not as easy as clicking a button. you need to switch early and you need to take the right courses your first semester and get decent grades. but its def not as hard as some state schools make it tho
im not a reliable source for that tho
i thnk there are some tufts students here who could be of more help
Gotcha
Wait can I ask what major ur admitted to
yeah cs
a & s, ed1
check dms
they dont admit by major
^this also
It's a sign/tufts is trolling you
NO LITERALLY
50/50
theyāre trolling me
I applied to the school for all the wrong reasons but i grew to love it
Yeah i found that out later on
Yeah
I think my sups were alright
Oh I remember now. My Why Tufts essay was weak. It's jover.
I'll never be an elephant
Tufts
In fact, let me reread it so I can rub salt on the wound
I said the school bame twice and spelt it wrong both tomes
youll never be a jumbo
Confused but got the jumbo spirit
Real
The wait is killing me
Washuās weight is killing me too
Tufts
I didn't even submit the Supps for Brown
They extended the deadline to Feb 8
And my dumbass still didn't submit it
I REFUSE to be accepted
Nah I eded there
Well there u go, i made it easier
EDed Literally just cuz of their Campus
Bascially the same school honeslty
tufts is on a hilll
How close is it to Boston
Isn't it like suburbs ?
5 miles
Mine too
Nah I disagree. Mine were trasher.
I think the other one was ok
Mine too
No trust me I wrote this last min
lol
Actually that would just give you trash. We need a fourth personš¤
Itās ok Iām ready for that R
Sorry guys but mine was great
Donāt u go there
yea
Well correct math can sit down
Itās ok other schools have/will clutch
My other schools are looking grime
Have you gotten in anywhere?
All my safeties and a lac
I got waitlisted from Grinnell and a safety so I'm not sure waht to amke of the sitaution, personally
Itās alright, crossing corn maiz dream out of your books isnt too bad š
Thatās still great!!
Yield protection for that safety though
Itās them not u
Could be. Also a waitlist from Case Western Reserve, which isn't really a safety. I am literally just a borderline applicant it seems lol
what school was the safety
Connecitcut College
nah I got into other schools, but it REALLY tanked my confidence
Yeah but i would love to go out of state to a nice city and escape my Asian parents
š„¹
Tufts will take you š
I mean 38% aint free
Someone with cracked stats got rejected from that school so ill bet on yield protection
My dad is slowly telling me what schools I can and canāt go to and he crossed tufts off the list today š like Iām even getting in
Im praying š„¹
maybe
but i would never call 38% a safety
^
Right, there can definitely be suprises, but I mean I have a 1450 SAT
Not like a 1580 wizard
I was competitive, but I'm not sure about yield protection
Unless ur from that state bec ik ut austin is a safety for a lot of people in texas
Which is insane
š
i mean thats a public school
lil diff
Autoadmit is different
Thatās true but 10% acceptance rate if ur not from texas and getting auto admitted
Kinda jealous
š
So that's why so many people have been moving to Texas
No itās cause ^ and itās cheaper in Texas
And bigger too
Theyāre missing out ucla >>> ut
Is ucla a good school
Ive heard it being a party school
Never really abt academics
Yes
Itās a really good school academically but they balance their lives
UCSB is the real party school
CMU: 
Cmu doesnāt get it
Yeah but you'll be a Jumbo
Ohā¦
Go bruins then š
mine was very basic dw
the only plus of tufts is you can party at anyother school
harvard, neu, bu, bc
idk how their party scenese are tho
bu is a good party school
well isn't mit pretty ppular?
with parties? no clue
yea
anyone thinking itāll come out today?
probably no
they donāt often just release without an announcement
i assume weāll hear today about a date⦠maybe next tuesday?
thatās only my guess though :)
they'll prob do the same thing for ed and announce 2 days before
yeah itās stressful especially when they keep us on our toes like this
just try to distract yourself with a hobby or school!
itāll be okay :)
i feel like they honestly don't know when they'll release
ty
the wait continues
y'all should scroll back in the tufts subreddit and find the squirrel lore
it helped us with our ed wait lol
bring back the šæļø lore
(ik thats a chipmunk)
damn this is so soon
woah-
Iām gonna get 8 rejections on Friday lol
So many decisions on Friday
Me @ last friday
so i cant be nervous for other decisions?š
Nah

bro i hope i dont have 2 heartbreaks in a row
i expceted tufts to be next week
on a tuesday
friday is insane
lets all get in š
good luck
no literally
W
i wonder how many people applied this year
34,400
a 1% increase from last year!
let's check their cds shall we
yes
wait no
looking at that trend
rewhjbrgkjnfdsk
but you cant come up with a trend from two years
im just delulu
maybe theyll go back to 3.5k
but i heard they did over admit during 2021-22
Gon get some back to back rejections
no
it means
3.7k was 2020-21
and year by year they admited less
i wish it was like that
they have a dorm crisis
no sorry i meant the year before 2021-2022
so i expect this year to be low 3.1k
so 2020-2021
but damn what could've been
Oh thatās sad
Have they said how many people they accepted in the ED rounds yet?

Otherwise rejected usc, tufts, bu, Amherst college, and Williams Friday š¤
NOOO

i have faith in you
wait isnāt bu saturday
if i didnt submit my financial stuff for bu am i not gonna get a decision?
Oops yes
No girl if you read my tufts essays youāll be like gg
I did show a bunch of demonstrated interest though
And my Wellesley essay was trash but the demonstrated interest got me in!
ok well to be fair 100 words is nothing
big W
seeee
and dont say the interest got you in bruh
ik youāre goated
It was so trash bro
No it did š
Iāll @ you with my rejections š
chill
I will š
Tufts will make or break me
y'all got this
i think yes
I got one
maybe check your portal to see if you got your email adress right
thats really weird
how do i check again though incase?
like if you can log in to your portal with your email adress
or maybe you could check your spam folder
when u log in to portal
does it show any message saying that itās coming out this friday
idk lemme check it
ok thanks
nope its just same as before except the checklist
i think you should email them
ok thank u
no problem
Tufts I formally give you permission to say no š« got my acceptance of the week
3 days š itās fine ucsb wants me
ucsb wants youuu
Yeah I donāt want them but they want me!
LMFAOO
Yes!!
Idk about that š
true by going to ucla you will get to meet the snooroar š¤©
bro it all works out
Manifesting Penn and thatās all I need
good job ruby
Whatās snooroar
Fr Penn do you hear this?? Accept me š
Ty!
LMFAOO isnt there a sub for finding his alts?
Jesus Christ I donāt think I want to meet them
yeah lmaoo
LMFAOO HOW DO THEY KEEP FINDING HIS ALTS
IM DEADDD
WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE DEDICATED TO THIS
š
LMFAOOOOO
hes posting the same stuff over and over again š
Yea I didnāt get this lore
š
LMFAOOOO
omg bro
he needs to get a grip
they just need to ban anyone in the la are from using reddit
otherwise theres no stopping him
even then hes probably paying for some vpn š
bc tufts is mid
true
/s
yeah its good i just dont think their location is great tho
location is so so so important but people undervalue it a lot š
I like their location lol
Oh
Thatās one of the things I like about it
Okay ntm
its like in boston but its not
I like suburban schools, where you get nature but also close to the city
Thatās what makes it good
Thatās the best part
I donāt wanna live in the literal city
i feel like it has a ton of asians
Yes
thoughts on new haven
thats what I was implying asians = baddies
W then

Coming from someone who lives in a major city. I love tufts location
Real
You can be in Boston in 30 mins
valid valid
And itās also very quiet
when i was there i didnt make a single friend tho i felt so alone
but then again i blame it on myself for not tryna reach out more
Sounds like a you problem lol
its okay but very iffy compared to the rest of the ivies/t20s
yea lowk
Youāre the one who did the fly in right?
Bro thatās what he said
yes
š
true true
campus wise yale is top tier but location wise not that amazing
I typed that as he was typing his other statement
New Haven crime rate š¤«
mid location
probably 3rd worst location out of the ivies
Whatās the top 2
Cornell
lol yeah ithaca and hanover
Itās true
Whatās bad about it
new haven isnt that bad ppl
Dartmouth and Cornell
Too rural?
Very rural
Nearest chick fil a is 2 hours away
Or like an hour+ if I remember correctly
Bro hates nature, bro hates immersing himself among godās beautiful creations, bro desires modern materialism to fill his empty soul
Oh no I love Cornellās campus
ithaca is still better off than hanover
Itās so nice up there
upenn is better locationwise because cost of living isnt that high so its manageable plus its philly so its the best of both worlds
hanover is like dead nowhere
But itās so far from everything
ithaca is still somewhat close to other ny cities
LMFAOO BRO CALLED IT
but hanover has nothing
ONG
Dartmouth is also mid so
Still need a car to get around

so new haven > ithaca > hanover
cornell community is hella chill though š¤š¤
fr tho
Iāve never been to Hanover so idk
well yeah but thats true for most of the country esp outside the east coast
If you are anywhere outside of urban you need a car
Iāve never lived in a place where youāve needed a car
Iāve always lived in major cities
So not having reliable public transport is a no from me
yeah and 1st is definitely cambridge rest r debatable
yea cambridge is so active
but harvard campus lowkey mid š
maybe philly or nyc tie for second providence 4th and princeton 5th
thats so true plus too many tourists
imagine people taking pics of u in your dorm š
bro when i went i felt like a poser w my harvard sweater
š
theres hella tourists
and there was a line to touch the mans foot
which freshmen piss on lmaooo
have u visited yale yet
BRO THAT CANT BE REAL
the statue is hella tall
who's stream can reach that
idk maybe they climb it or they just use a cup for transportation š
did you rub the foot for good luck
oh hell no
LMFAOOO
honestly i dont even feel bad for the tourists at that point
theyre wild
they were taking pics in my friends dorm š
holy moly its so active here
omg seeing tufts on the decision dates channels has me stressed for absolutely no reason whatsoever
im stressed for you guys
@languid roost especially you, i want you to go to tufts
and u too
Aww thatās so sweet š
Tufts should pull a cmu and accept all of us a2cers
aww you're so sweet
tufts be the next boston area baddie to accept me please < 3
literally!! love boston baddies love tufts too
i swear nobody gets in from my state though š
rn there's 13 undergrad students TOTAL from nevada
so they admit ~4 a year
thoughts on boston baddies @ harvard?
