how is tufts social scene

wind pike
#

from what ive learned, i can only imagine its relatively chill. tufts isnt a hard party school, but there are moderate (?) gatherings and its just friends doing fun activities and what not

#

care can probably give a better sense of the social scene than i can

foggy galleon
#

Is food here yummy

unborn forum
#

No

sweet briar
#

We are ranked #2 in the state for dining 💀

#

Right behind zoomass

sweet briar
#

Frats sometimes throw club formals happen too. Other ppl also throw, I’m going to someone’s party they’re hosting at their apartment tonight 💀

#

If you’re ever looking for a good party just go down to bu or something

wind pike
sweet briar
#

Yea we’re known for having good food even though it’s hit or miss

foggy galleon
#

yk what lemme use google bwahaha

#

sweet briar
#

Well 360 swipes per semester which you’ll never finish. I probably got through half each semester

#

Only downside is they cap it so you can only use 2 swipes per meal period

foggy galleon
#

what counts a s a meal period

#

reakfast: Open-10:59 am. Lunch: 11:00 am-4:59 pm. Dinner: 5:00 pm-Close. Commons Late Night: Friday & Saturday 9:00pm–12:30am.

unborn forum
#

so you wont run out

unborn forum
#

i used 350 last sem

sweet briar
#

Oh yea it’s like 400

#

I only used like 160 per semester

wind pike
#

lol my mom told me to geat some meals to bring back home

opal fog
#

if u r trying to finish 400 meal plans, just remember to grab some breakfast/smoothies at kindlevan

sweet briar
opal fog
#

they are basically trying to make sure students can't finish 400 swipes

sweet briar
opal fog
#

tufts being tufts

sweet briar
#

I wasn’t finishing even with the 2 swipes

#

I feel like most weren’t

foggy galleon
#

💀

opal fog
#

i had like two full paper bag of snacks stacked

#

I end up just leaving at public space

unborn forum
unborn forum
opal fog
#

ye you have to consistently use 4 swipes to finish them

unborn forum
#

its impossible without double swipes

opal fog
#

I used to grab like 200 kind bars from kindlevan

unborn forum
#

if they still did that

#

id easily use all 400

opal fog
#

ye

unborn forum
#

Last sem

#

I need to lock in

I have heard about it

#

Avoid at all cost

unborn forum
#

damn

#

why

opal fog
#

Why not just do CS11

unborn forum
#

cs10 is python

#

quant uses python

opal fog
#

#

Are you trying to do quant

unborn forum
#

just exploring

opal fog
#

Go self learn Python then

unborn forum
#

probably better option

#

I wish stata was used more

opal fog
#

stata is legit so cringe I can not imagine them selling services based on how many cores u want to use...

unborn forum
#

cuz its the only one they use in the econ major

sweet briar
#

I’ve heard mixed things

#

Some say it’s hard some say it’s easy

#

But the ppl who say it’s easy are the cs majors

opal fog
#

i mean if ur a CS major

#

you shouldn't be taking the class lmao

sweet briar
opal fog
#

I talk with some CS people and apparently professor add random ass contents like convex hull to CS10 assignment to make it more "fun"

Schrödingers waitlist. When you submitted this it was your top choice

#

And so you said so

languid roost
foggy galleon
#

, when you submitted this you were confident you would attend and in love

#

But In July you realized oh, Boston isn’t for me

languid roost
#

I heard it’s unethical to say but yk college admissions is unethical and no one from my school applies to tufts anyways…

#

But I’ll talk with my parents and see

foggy galleon
#

If they pick u and u say no, they’ll move on and pick someone else

foggy galleon

Wait why did u say true twice 😂 😭 @languid roost

#

its just so sad inside

graceful glade
#

im very bad with instructions yall so about the waitlist reply form firstly:
"If I am not admitted to Tufts, my plan is to enroll at the following college or university:"
do i have to fill in this? wouldnt it make it feel like tufts isnt my top choice?? i will attend 100% if i get accepted so...
"The Admission Committee encourages you to submit additional information as outlined in the email you received. You may use the space below, or the upload option on your Applicant Status Page, to provide additional information."
if i want to use the upload option, can i just leave this empty? just asking bcs if i do both empty it looks very carefree
am i thinking too much about this lol

wind pike
opal fog
#

i think u shud fill in the college one, but you can reemphasize your determination/interests in the additional material

wind pike
#

i hate question psychology

#

especially on tests

so why does tufts ask about ur second choice

#

for the loci, should i write that i would go to tufts over my currently committed uni, but if i got into other schools that im waitlisted at, like cmu, i would go to cmu 😭

#

like how do i word the fact that tufts is a top option but its not my #1

Damn

#

does faubion curve?

sweet briar

Actually yes he does

Calc 2 he curved

opal fog

Fulton Calc 3 was one of my favorite

opal fog
#

did they change it ?

unborn forum
sweet briar

Not 4

I’m pretty sure they had 3 last sem

#

I Wd Fulton

#

I know people like him but his teaching style was like pain to me

#

I got a FORTY EIGHT on the first midterm

#

No curve

#

I’m retaking it this summer

#

Also I was going through a mental health crisis around the time, so that surely didn’t help

#

I met with him and was like my brother I want to just pass your class and he was like “mmmm tough luck bro”

unborn forum
long surge
#

Pure blackboard

#

Only blackboard. A few examples. Lots of theory to me

opal fog
#

He first write out the theory/conclusion, derive it, and do 1-2 examples

#

The style is consistent throughout. No materials will be given so if you don’t go to lecture or you fall off during the lecture ur screwed

unborn forum
#

im in one of them rn

opal fog
#

nice

graceful glade
#

do you guys think i should add my sat score to my loci? i didnt add it because it was below the average (pls dont judge i only took it once and it was bad), tufts average is 1465 or so and mine is 1350

#

@unborn forum what’s the Econ scene like here

unborn forum
#

department quality doesnt reflect that

foggy galleon

Guess Econ tends to be popular eve eh where

And now I realize that I think pre-registration was only 24 hours

#

Idk if I’m gonna get any of the classes I need

surreal slate
#

i think there was barely any cs classes as prereg anyway

sweet briar
#

The issue is linear alg

#

And possibly bio

#

Those are the only classes I’m worried about but now that I think of it I should be chill

#

Some of the courses under the AP Credit say "Awards general credit for EN; Does not satisfy SoE course requirements" (I'm in SoE). Not really sure what the difference is compared to courses that say "No credit for engineering students"

#

Just curious if anyone knows if its still worth taking AP Tests that might not satisfy the SoE reqs

surreal slate
#

i guess u can get general credit to count for those, some cant get credit at all

sweet briar
#

I have a lot of friends who had AP credits that didn’t count towards anything in soe

#

They’re basically just useless credits

surreal slate
#

tufts heavily limits how many u can get too

sweet briar
#

Doesn’t count as a HASS

sweet briar

why not

Hi, has anyone heard back about the waitlist or have any idea when we can expect to hear back?

#

It's super annoying not being able to tell people where you are going when you're waiting on the small chance of coming off of the waitlist. lol
