Yea this week’s hw is pretty easy
Only took a few days to finish
No
I never even applied 
this is like the only thing i have heard about tufts so im curious as to whether or not its true lol 😂
There’s def some who didn’t get into brown
I only know a few ppl who applied to brown
But it’s not an everyone thing
The majority of ppl here did not
Most of the people I know here in fact ED1d here
True
is tufts a super quirky school by any chance
i feel like thats where the idea might come from
Yes
feely ruined you?
how good is tuft's human factors engineering program? im interested in ux design with cs
Pretty good
It seems good
@sweet briar reslife fucked up
How likely are you to get off tufts wl?
like everywhere it varies per year
but ik a bit freshmen here who got off
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 2664
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 1,328
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 183
(common data set)
yeah I figured
oh that's not too bad
I haven't decided if I'm going to write a tufts loci and if it's worth turning down ucla/usc for
What happened
The housing selection times are all messed up
they dont correlate with lottery numbers at all
like someone with a 1900 has the first time and someone with a 1300 has very late
Oh damn wtf 😭
Is this for suites only?
So did you get a shit time?
a pretty good time
i want money 
did they give u bad aid?
lowkey
Then I wouldn’t care about it that much 😭
yeah i hope they dont change it
🙏
how is tufts social scene
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
Is food here yummy
No
Much better than other schools
We are ranked #2 in the state for dining 💀
Right behind zoomass
There are parties. Not a huge party scene tho
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
wait really i didnt know that
Yea we’re known for having good food even though it’s hit or miss
is freshie mealplan unlimited
yk what lemme use google bwahaha
!Biggreen
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
dope
wtf
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.
Not unlimited but a ton
so you wont run out
i think its 400
i used 350 last sem
lol my mom told me to geat some meals to bring back home
if u r trying to finish 400 meal plans, just remember to grab some breakfast/smoothies at kindlevan
I liked when i could actually swipe twice
it's cringe
they are basically trying to make sure students can't finish 400 swipes
Yep. Which is stupid
tufts being tufts
💀
I were able to finish the second semester of freshman year
i had like two full paper bag of snacks stacked
I end up just leaving at public space
im built different i finished them las tsem
did they have double swipes then
ye you have to consistently use 4 swipes to finish them
its impossible without double swipes
yes, I do 2 lunch 2 dinner for maximum value
I used to grab like 200 kind bars from kindlevan
ye
is the GUI diff
this is some website someone made at jumbohack
I've heard about that
they need to add features where if you have credit card with 3% on food or some shit
you can calculate whether it's better to load jumbocash or pay with card
they do
interesting
They apparently spent like 16 hour just working on api stuff 😭
have u taken cs 10?
or heard about it
Why not just do CS11
just exploring
Go self learn Python then
why...
stata is legit so cringe I can not imagine them selling services based on how many cores u want to use...
cuz its the only one they use in the econ major
Yes
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
They took it bc they wanted to be prepared for 11
dude it's a shit show
I talk with some CS people and apparently professor add random ass contents like convex hull to CS10 assignment to make it more "fun"
That’s crazy 💀
tufts
tufts
stfut
Real
Is opting into the tufts wl worth it
No clue I’m ngl
😭
It probably is bc I’m sure a lot of ppl rejected tufts
There is a 10% chance you could get off the wl so if you’re sure you’d commit if you get in, then do so
They have very very specific instructions
I’m not sure which is why I’m like hmm
If you’re considering it, it’s worth opening yourself to chances
Like why not 🤷♀️ worst they’ll do is say sorry, we’re full
They said this
If Tufts is truly your top choice
Does this mean if I don’t communicate this it’s gg
Can’t u just say that
Wdym
Schrödingers waitlist. When you submitted this it was your top choice
And so you said so
But isn’t that a lie 😭 if it’s not
, when you submitted this you were confident you would attend and in love
But In July you realized oh, Boston isn’t for me
Ohh ok I see
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
Not really
If they pick u and u say no, they’ll move on and pick someone else
true
True
Wait why did u say true twice 😂 😭 @languid roost
glitch
Submit it
wait they have so many instructions now wtf
when I was waitlisted there's none of this
Right I was like wtf
Dang 😭 upped their game
do u want doubles?
yeah
whats the worst option
i mean its the best i can get
there isnt really a worst option
maybe worst dorm but
Lewis probably
and thats fine
id rather do lewis than 91
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
- I think you would have to put the other college you have in mind. The question says "if i am not admitted to tufts", so responding with "Tufts" probably doesnt make any sense. I'm pretty sure they are just asking this to make sure you have a backup plan
i think u shud fill in the college one, but you can reemphasize your determination/interests in the additional material
lolol youre right
alright, will do so!!
thank yall :]
Love how tufts decided to upload all new pics for freshmen dorms but not sophomore dorms
where can i find these?
fr
Okay now why aren’t they showing the hodge forced triples 😭
Fuck then fr
We should’ve gotten sophomore housing priority
Tufts wl here we come
best of luck ruby!!!
Would be so cool if you end up here!
But also ucla 🤩
it would be!!! Definitely would be a tough decision
I’m so glad I didn’t have any tough decisions to make 😭
I don't rn
I wish I did
What an interesting problem you’d like to have 😭
I wish I got into some of my wl schools 
There’s still plenty of time
Wl usually start rolling after commitment date tho I believe
very true
you got into cornell?
yeah I will likely commit to ruby university
it's a top 0.000000001
Transfer option
Wasn’t sure if I was gonna go to an easier school to transfer in
I thought about it
Also wasn’t sure if I was even gonna transfer
Damnnn
Lmao now I have a Cornell LOCI to write
Cornell waitlist?
yes
Would you like me to send you mine? Just to give you an idea
This is one I wrote after ed decision
yes please (feel free to blur out any info)
Okay give me like 30 mins. I’m being lazy rn
Could you send me too 🙏
Yes
Ty!!!
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
Noo
Just use enthusiastic language like you’d love to attend
oki tyy
he ruins everyone tbf
Trust me ec11 is so much better
if u have the right prof ofc
@sweet briar have you guys done lagrangian
Who is you guys?
The faubion gang
Oh I’m honestly not sure
Who’s teaching it?
fulton gonzalez
wait no curve
That’s what I heard
Wait what, my year calc 3 is 2 exam + final
did they change it ?
No curves though?
Sorry I meant to say 3
Not 4
I’m pretty sure they had 3 last sem
ye
there's no curve for any single math classes wdym
Test curves
sorry but what is a test curve, the test median was not anywhere below 85
They curve if the test average is below an 80
Yeah, that sounds very reasonble
?? Lmao
Calc 3 exam was very preparable, I got 100, 98, and 98. It's basically same thing as practice exam
i mean yeah there wont be a curve if theres a high average
could you send the syllabus for it?
thanks
Yea class average was an 83 for midterm
damn thats pretty good
Yea
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”
what was his teaching style like
Lecture heavy
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
those classes are always fun
im in one of them rn
nice
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
most popular major
department quality doesnt reflect that
Huh, whenever I searched up Econ and tufts people r like it has no presence
Guess Econ tends to be popular eve eh where
theres easily the most people in the econ major
idk how accurate this is but it sounds pretty accurate
Is there any place I can find out how Econ majors at tufts end up ?
Thanks so much
Damn
What exactly r h planning to do Tokyo
trying to do investment banking
emphasis on trying
Not working good ?
This is not accurate 😭
could u send me too 🥹🙏
I will send later today. I completely forgot to yesterday
np tysm
how preregistration go
I didn’t do it 😭
Didn’t have my registration hold lifted
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
Oh you fucked up
i think there was barely any cs classes as prereg anyway
There were no cs classes
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
oh youll be fine
Yea 🤞
if im an incoming freshman will i have issues getting calc 3 as a class?
itll be very tough, im a rising sophomore and idk if ill even get into it
but its not like theres 0 freshmen in calc 3
@surreal slate are you going to tuftstonia today?
probably not
u?
and a bunch of food
i saw the menu
looks yummy but i am not waiting in 2 hour lines for food
The tacos were delicious
Did have to wait a while but I knew ppl in line to skip with
lucky
It comes in handy to just talk to ppl
I did that like all freshman year 😭
Submitted tufts loci!
Letsss gooo
cheers big dawg
Please do squad 🙏
Tufts
@frail swallow I’m so sorry I literally just remembered. Do you still need it?
LMAO ur good and yes LOL
but it’s okay ill survive
I’ll send rn
@surreal slatebro i cannot figure out my last 2 classes for the life of me
hows ur schedule looking
idk if im gonna take economics. It may be too much with linear and algo
yea ik for sure
i dont think econ is that much work tbh
not summer?
a lot of those classes are not final
the cs classes specifically and creative writing
yuck poetry
i need another humanities class
i feel like theres easier ones
and i dont wanna take philosophy but i may have to
ah intro to ethics
I was trying to take poetry for the humanities credit
english 2 clears
take eng 2
Girl
calm down theres so many nonfreshmen in english 2
i did it last sem and it was the easiest A ever
Idk
dont be scared of freshmen its ok
Woah
@wind pike can you send an invite to 2028 server to bertha?
yeah sure did they commit?
Just heard!!
@foggy galleon No more ru ☹️
@sweet briar when u registering?
8 mins
There are 2 spots in the poetry class 😭
To be fair, I don’t really need it tho
I got everything 👍
Yippee
Bro i cant even get into fucking lin al
since when did everyone and they mama want faubion
LMAO
there were like 70 spots before I registered
It’s crazy bc my friend took that her freshman spring with no issue
yeah wtf is going on
its not like its chris or anything
linear algebra is always a class that get full and people are upset over it
what is your major
quant econ
i remember registering last august there was still room in linear
@long surge what classes are you taking next semester?
whats ur experience like, thats was my first choice for tufts
im taking intermediate micro and stats for quant rn and i really like it
really useful classes professors are so nice
i know theres a lot of professors to avoid in the department though
econ department isnt the greatest
idk anything about college, but your monday afternoons look like hell
thursday is the day where you'll just want to jump into a hole and never come out
endindg late is bad
my thursdays are always the busiest
bc of rescitations
i dont want any on friday
thats how my break is going rn
break?
is computational chemistry possible at tufts?
spring break 😜
I dont think that's a class here sadly
would this just be cs with a minor in chem
there's computational bio tho according to my friend
i honestly have no clue
ill figure it out
you missed ec 8 bro 😭
now u gotta do ec5 with feely
Who’s that
There’s 2 ppl teaching it this semester
should i mention i started taking cs50 since i applied on my tufts loci
or should i just say i started learning how to code or smth
matthew feely
Bro got exposed fr
They should let us all off the wl just for this error
Imagine an actual Jack reading this and getting freaked out
😭
I wonder if the other emails also said Jack
Nah it said my name
Their tech glitched
Jack better accept his spot on that wl
I am hoping Jack gets admitted if they choose to go on waitlist 🙏🔥
Fr
They sent another email with just my name 😭
Yes
Very likely
Are you excited to go to tufts
Delete this and if you must repost, repost with non highlighter 😭
Ts lowk see through
lol 😭 I didn’t realize Ty
I gotchu g
Yes 🎉
Excited for the LA life? Or not set in stone
Very excited! I will probably commit close to the deadline bc wl
How so
im joking that they fried their brains at spring fling cuz of the mistake they made
it has always been cooked
are you going?
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
soe has core classes like humanities electives needed to graduate
i guess u can get general credit to count for those, some cant get credit at all
Not worth it
I have a lot of friends who had AP credits that didn’t count towards anything in soe
They’re basically just useless credits
tufts heavily limits how many u can get too
Doesn’t count as a HASS
Yea I never attempted
why not
Bc I didn’t have any high enough AP’s
I scored a 3 on all the AP’s I took lmao
I simply did not care
yea u cant graduate early then 🙏
I never wanted to graduate early
graduating on time for you is now a semester early
I see what you’re saying. Yes but I also only took like 3 aps
And one of them wouldn’t have counted for anything
fair
heres ur answer
only 9 am friday recitation times left 👍
Looking at the tufts pages I can make an educated guess if someone is SMFA before they say so 😂 they’re the best
guess premed or smfa its 50/50
LMAO
i saw this looking at sis praying for luck registering whenever i do
Gotta get a 10 am time
Then you’ll maybe have a chance
Tough
I muted discord for a few days oops
physics 11
intro geology (for major)
atmospheric science
chinese lit
music of east asia
17 creds
Those sound sick
Yeah I’m excited! What about you?
Cs 160
Linear
Poetry
Philosophy and film
And some random cs elective
Nice
I’m taking 160 over the summer
Nice
stupid question but is it true that tufts offers free spotify prenium
No lmao
You can get the $5 Spotify premium + hulu with your college login tho
It only lasts for 4 years
Jack you so I just have to pay $5 a month?
Yes
Hmmmm I’ll consider it
bruh tufts came back with my appeal the day before the deadline. They gave none extra it was my top school at the time
