19 is a bad number in my family
Forgot why
Not really superstitious but I think my parents will not be excited for it to drop that day
ah i see
maybe you can change its history at least a little
True!
This school is so TUFF
tuff
please
TOO TUFF
Fr
right?? crine
why would we be cooked 🤦♂️
because we got this email
if they prioritize better applicants for interviews
that means were cooked
yeah we didnt have anyone in a2c get an interview
and do they prescreen or what like idk what their interview process is
yeah
i believe availability
the only two tufts alums i know is the head of G42 and the UAE foreign minister lmao
dont u live in mass lmao
Interview is require for tufts?
clearly not
did u read the email u recieved
Interviews are an optional component of our application process, so please be assured that candidates without an interview are at no disadvantage.
Is it evaluative
i dont know
i think its mainly for DI
yeah i live within walking distance
so dont worry
its lowkey just a DI button
i got an interview ed2 and got rejected so
Fuuuck why didn’t I press the DI button
Coming out of my awkward ass Princeton interview I was convinced an interview would just fuck me over
THURSDAY YALL 😭
Tufts RD Decision Date
<t:1773961200:F> in your local time zone
@everyone
Tufts is tuff
so tuff
Wowzas
😋😋😋
19th gonna be fun
ts is so soon what the helly

tuff university 
tuffs
PRAY
I got an interview!
I think it might be based on whether there’s an alumnus available, though! Mine was from another part of my state and had the same major as I listed, so it might be based on geography/major
I’m a mass applicant and did NOT receive an interview
😭🙏
Oh nooo, wait 😭 I genuinely don’t know how they gave them out then/what it was based on?
hi tufts
I’m from NC, and one of my friends from my school who also applied RD to Tufts (granted, she applied really early around September 😭) also got an interview, but not with the same interviewer I got!
interviews dont matter at all guys
i’m literally from medford/somerville and i didnt get one 😭 like half my teachers went
Dude whattt 😭 Surely there cannot be a greater density of Tufts interviewers in North Carolina than in Medford/Somerville 🥀
I think it might just have been random? I have no idea 😭
very interesting
literally no schools prescreen but duke/yale and maybe harvard
Tufts does whatever..
tufts prescreens
pull up to CB scoops fr
or JP licks 👅
Fuuuck 19 is an unlucky number for me
That’s #whatever I guess
Lowk don’t think I demonstrated enough interest
so tuff
I did the virtual campus visit once and registered for a tour and had to cancel bc of family emergency
Should’ve done an info session #SMH
Open your decision on the 20th
What are you going to do when you turn 19 😭 skip to 20?
it’s not making a difference to your decision lol
Maybe
this rejection’s gonna sting 😮💨
ikr this is the last school i care about
Really hoping I get in bc if I don’t it’s a really bad sign for all my other schools
And if I do I’ll finally have a school with good financial aid down that I can go to
I cannot afford any of my other accepted schools rn
generally yes
not that much harder though they’re pretty equivalent
also bc does more ED and has a very very different demographic that they look for in terms of fit
So they are looking for a very small population of ppl?
a smaller population than tufts id say
a lot of townies here will ED to BC because their parents went there
while Tufts is more of a transplant school
I hope im tuff enough to be at tufts this fall (let me in)
🥺
pls describe what they are looking for
BC has more applicants who have long ties in the region, Tufts really likes civic engagement, BC is more focused on business or finance than Tufts, Tufts has a lot more engineering and language
region?
as in the boston area?
they dont like people from halfway across the country?
no. they do not dislike people from other places
what do you mean long ties in the region
There’s a certain type of person who has parents who went to BC and their parents might have had parents who went there and they’re also going to ED BC and go
But their parents were born in Boston, they didn’t move here for college
you mean legacy
Yeah but it’s more than that it’s what we call being a townie
anyway Tufts has less townies
their student body is more diverse
It’s really hard to explain but the gist is that if you got rejected from BC it doesn’t mean you’ll get rejected from Tufts because of different applicant profiles
tufts better see what’s in me that whatever pitzer saw…
If I get in, I’m lowkey not going lol
Bruh
Then withdraw
Won't u be eating someone else chance
How will that help others?
If decision is already out for everyone
It's probably too late now
Decision is coming tomorrow
wl
Exactly
Even if he withdraws, nothings going to change
Don’t schools already account for half their accepted students not going
Either way tufts is going to have the same number of students in the incoming class
depends on the school
i guess
if its ivy then i dont think so cuz most admitted would be going
guys
how good is tufts with test optional?
am i cooked
if i applied as TO
Probably
anyone know what time tufts comes out?
i actually have never wanted anything this much sadly
i think i'm cooked i genuinely hope y'all get in over me i didn't even visit campus 😭
erin I js got rejected from Lehigh there is no hope for tufts 
NUH UH just get waitlisted and get in when i decline my offer of admission
we'll both be chilling
we gaming the admission office with this one
real
please let me in im so tuff
I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared I’m so scared
Quick question
In my supplemental I wrote “Tufts’ programs like blah blah blah…”
That’s correct right
Tufts’
Not Tufts’s
Tufts’ is correct
And if it’s not I’m screwed
wait u lowk got me overthinking
I Gen dk 🙁
Cuz I’ve had ppl talking about me say both Lapis’ and Lapis’s
And grammar checker told me Tufts’ was right
Apparently they’re both correct
Apparently Tufts actually wrote an article about people doing this exact thing wow
Tufts’ and Tufts’s are both right just not Tuft’s
Tufts’ is “more” correct cus it’s a singular noun that alr ends in an s
But yeah tufts’s is fine too
Bro my tuff essay was so ass it would make an old man cry tears of pain
tuff
tuff
Fuck
Two rejections on the 18th
I hope tomorrow treats me good
Same

it would be so TUFF(TS) if i didn't get REJECTED tomorrow..
SAME fr
TUFTS PLEASE BRO PLEASE GIVE ME ONE THING THIS SPRING. AND LET THAT BE AN ACCEPTANCE
My tufts essays might actually be worst things ever typed from my keyboard
anyone feel a sense of impending doom
you know what… maybe i’ll come here for grad school 
No way I’m getting in 😭
omg wtf 😭
yes legit
oh 
omfg
let me check my schools scatter plot
imma check too
Is this Navi.
Where can u see this
naviance
maia scatterplots are so ass
if ur school has it
yes lmao
everyone is RD from mine
i mean ED who got accepted
you’re the first person i’ve met outside my school district who used ts 😭
115 ppl this year is too many
Bro wtf
where are you from?
yeah same it might be joever 
115 people?!
Boston college applications as a Boston HS student must be fried
colorado
76 harvard applications according to Naviance

R u from Boston area
you actually go to a feeder
yeah i am im from medford/somerville
all 76 admitted!
literally just says weighted gpa and test scores and provides no context
Oh that’s why
Bro my school has had 3 tufts applicants over the past 5 years 😭
we already had 3 ED bye 😭
UGH
It’s ok we will get in
(All rejected btw)
Trust the process
real, people from my school always forget to put their decisions in so the data is super unhelpful
tufts in general is peak
tisch scholars and cSPA r so cool
ohhh i thought it was automatic
tufts is so #niche #indie #underground
i actually have the worst dread ever
activating my main character plot where i get rejected everywhere except yale so i can call this place a bum ass school when they inevitably reject me 🥹
i don’t love any of my schools yet
My school is the most non feeder ever
nah nah nah
we bag this fr
YOU bag this fr
17/61 is pretty insane though
legit everyone from my school gets into cu boulder but maia says the ar is 50% 💀
feeder to tufts wow
because ppl dont update
its just local bias bcs ppl can do DI really easily
LMAO omg 11 people from my school in illinois are already committed to boulder
it’s so weird

i think Boulder as an area appeals to a lot of people
we had like 2 or 3 commits there
Boulder is tuff ash
and we basically feed into UCs, CSUs, or the CC
i know a lot of ppl who would have committed if we weren’t already in CO
well yes that’s public cali schools
yeah we feed into Umass, tufts, BU, BC
yea which is why the Boulder commits are interesting cause its so expensive lol
we also had a singular UMich commit 😭
Wut about Harvard and mit
we also weirdly feed into McGill
5 people from my school have already committed to umich but i know way more who got in
harvard alr took 3 mit took 0 the whole year which is really fried
we usually get like 2-4
Bro 10 ppl in my grade got into cmu like wtf
WHAT
no one got into cmu from here
Only 1 for cs
2 people from mine got into cmu after 0 in the last 5 years
The concept of feeding into t50s
bruh “only 1”
well i’m friends with them both
one of the rich suburbs of Boston got 7 Caltech this year 🥹
My school feeds to Miami University (Ohio)
tbf my public school kinda feeds into schools like washu northwestern uiuc umich too
My school feeds into Binghamton and Stony Brook 🩷🩷
lol wtf

i go to a public its just location
yeah that school is fucking insane
My school feeds to university of cincinnati 😻😻😻
i was the only Pomona commit of like the last 2 years here, but i knew 2 others who applied and didnt get in
my bestie got in Pomona ED actually
she’s the only one i know
🔥
we have a lot of Chicagoans in my class weirdly
a couple NYCers
one of my best friends whos a hallmate is from Philly
inch resting
one of the RAs is from DC i should ask if they applied to georgetown lol
gonna trigger nam flashbacks fr
lmao
Same lol
My dumb ass school uses school link
wait only one person from my school applies to wellesley each year… what if im that person for co 2026
im so special guys
22% acceptance rate too… i will choose to be delusional about this
Same dw
wait guys which prompt did we pick for the first supp
there were choices if im remembering correctly right
wait
weren’t there 2 options
i did why i love learning 🥰
we are twins bro
omg
i actually really liked that one
why did i talk about my tiktok account in both essays
i heard most people are a fan of it tbh
i liked it
i feel like you get to nerd out on that one
ikr
I believe in you!
i forgot you applied too 🥹(?) right?
Dear tufts
I’m sorry for not demonstrating more interest
Do not yield protect me
Or reject me simply for not being good enough that would also be bad
Or waitlist me
Let me in because I love you
Sincerely meeee
im. actually frightened
this me 💔
brooo i want to go to tufts so baddddd mane somebody say a prayer 😭😭
shit ill commit tomorrow hey 😭
im gonna be so dissapointed bruh
i need to stop watching tufts content
i’m so serious i would
i’m setting myself up for so much disappointment
we have to fucking bag this bro
im gonna tweak out
im acc a bit upset
i’m waiting for tufts to submit the pitzer waitlist LMAO
😭😭 LOL
i don’t want to say it’s my #1 choice unless i don’t get into tufts
and don’t want to do all that work
i’m legit wasting my day by doing subpar illustrations for my school newspaper
no yeah that makes sense
im tryna expect rejection to not be disappointed but its sooo harddd
i’m a white guy from the midwest
i want smth new
Yoo u basically going as far as u can go
Adventurer 😎 ✌️
i already feel like i got rejected. like the feeling is deep in my bones. but part of me still hopes
bro im like the opposite of what they want lmao. I didnt show ANY interest, my essays showed NO interest, no fit, no commitment. Likeee I dint do none of that but I still wanna get in yk. I alr know im rejected tho rip
js gotta expect it and anything better is a surprise
i feel like my essays are prettyyy fire but idk about demonstrated interest
and of course it seems they do prefer ed applicants
this is what makes me sad
my tufts essay was kinda funny i really hope AO liked it too
nah like one of my essays were pretty ok but my why tufts was abysmal xd
fml man 💔
yessir
urgh same
me too I was considering ed2

i was so close to ed2ing..... 😭
but then i thought i had a chance at other schools No I was Wrong
LMFAO SAME
i had an ego idk why
im stupid as shit
Vro I should've just Ed'd somewhere i completely wasted dat shi
Im salty af
"I know that Tufts will provide more than a quality education, but rather a community that can address the elephant in the room." i thhought this was funny
but maybe uts too cliche
scary
i think you need more contrast between ice and stick
you’re right
like a shadow or smth
Wait i js realized they change icons based on schools coming out im stupid
Thats fire thoo
do i add texture to the shadows
the other day, i met a couple from medford and they were saying how good of a school tufts was #manifesting
their children went to tufts for preschool...
Lmao wut
Skipped highschool went straight to college
makes sense
True sweats
it's part of the things they offer probably for help with ece
I c
do you have a pic
one sec
i might add usa flag in the blank space to left of olympics sign idfk
Noo it’s cute😭

It always goes 2 ways though

i’ve heard of them
there’s a good music scene in the area
ts dont mean anything

i’ve only heard of the name, what kind of music do they make
its like psychedelic
rockish

my friend’s a huge psychedelic rock fan
i’ll check them out

Tis today
i lowkenuinely cannot focus in class rn
Anyone know if school of engineering is harder or easier to get into than other schools
it’s roughly the same but a tiny bit lower

yeah it is
can u see anything in slate besides the decided status?
whats your favorite song, mine is part III and crushxd
balloon and ghostride
im very mainstream

We’ve got this guys!! No matter what happens, we’re doing amazing things :)
I've been removing colleges that rejected me from my bookmarks
it's slowly getting emptier
we will make it

also intl
Me too
Don’t be, someone i know got rejected Cwru and into mit lol
I got rejected from both xD
okay

I see a lot of red on mine…
i just hide the rows with my rejects
i cannot bear to see the red
Same but I am international+ test optional 😭
From india
if i didnt show interest am i cooked
i didn't either so we'll find out together 🩷
How do u show interest
they sent a puzzle?!
Is pressing interview button DI?

this is actually nowhere near as bad as i thought it was
like waitlist acceptance wise
Wait that’s not bad at all
Wait this is amazing
But I won’t hear from them until mid July 
30% off of wl is great
Tufts doesn’t have great yield?
Why?
Why
too low
How low
Is my 1470 too low for tufts 
i just checked their website
"Mid 50% Range for SAT Reading and Writing 730-770
Mid 50% Range for SAT Math 740-790"
So barely
Okay so I’m on the upper end for both of these
Yea I’m screwed oh well
Yea
My di was going to a webinar getting rejected from tufts fly in and asking for an interview
Didn’t do an interview bc I Gen thought it would bring down my chances (too awkward)
My interest was NOT demonstrated
Bro if withdraw button gone can they just release it right now please
Less than 5 hours ugh
LOL I was wondering why I got pinged here
im so in love with some of the gifs cool people use here
yes im hoarding them for my collection
ur collection is something else
check dm’s
Yeah wait
Tackle the college application myths and learn how to apply to Tufts University. Admissions deadlines and important dates you need to apply to Tufts University.
Click check your application status
On the left bar
they encourage ppl with 1300+ to submit
what did you submit
they say they highly encourage anyone above a 28 to submit
oh i missed the part where they said act
33
why tf are u claiming a 33 is too low
idk i was lowkey panicking after looking at the cds
r we ready
but now i feel better
i mean im on the cds rn and there’s no subscore breakdown here just 98.7% accepted are 30-36 , but yeah their test policy online says we encourage applicants with scores of 1300 or higher or 28 or higher to include the scores
You’re fine
yea i saw the 25th percentile was 33 and got a bit worried
but according to the tufts website the middle 50% of accepted students was 33-35 so idk where that disconnect comes from
wdym how are y seeing that the 25th is 33
the bottom of the middle 50% is the 25th percentile
Yea…the middle 50 percent is 25th to 75th percentile no?
oh my god im stupid
Sorry my dogpiling
i submitted a 30 i think you’ll be ok
oh tufts is need aware this was a pipe dream for me anyways 😭
🤯
ive heard multiple people say this today but i haven’t found a single source online
sorry guys i was being really stupid 😭
google goes crazy
what does that even mean
bro there's literally conflicting sources
that's crazy
i'm digging deeper into it hold on
https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2020/02/funding-future-need-blind-admissions#:~:text=Tufts is need-aware%2C not need-blind. Tufts'%20need%2Dsensitive,over%20an%20equally%20qualified%20applicant%20who%20cannot.
this article confirms that theyre need aware but its from 2020 😭
The independent student newspaper of Tufts University
twinsicle u have 3.5hours we could just wait and see
true
That’s so odd
yeah idk maybe they changed their policy between then and now
They’re need aware right?
^ yeah their website doesnt say anything at all about it
Aren’t they “need-sensitive” or smth
yeah im a little frustrated as to something so important has no info on their site
yeah that's just stupid wtf
Tufts is need aware, but meets full need of admitted students
According to Wikipedia
do they cite a source?
they just started their tuition pact this year that gives free tuition to students w a net income under $150000 yea
What time are decisions coming out?
oh hell nah
i did not know ts
3 and a half hours
yeah i saw that and they want to admit more pell eligible students heh😏me😏
You’re getting in!
I believe in you
thank you my favorite🥹
I’ll find
let's do this together frfr
🔥
only 16% admitted last year were pell eligible 
Suspended need blind admissions in 2009
then collegevine claims they are need blind in 2024 like what is happening
sounds about right
Sounds accurate
Colgate I think is the richest student body
C*lgate
fuck i applied there 💀
toothpaste
thank goodness i didnt apply
Washington University in St. Louis
Colorado College
Washington and Lee University
Colby College
Trinity College (Conn.)
Bucknell University
Colgate University
Kenyon College
Middlebury College
Tufts University
Top 10
Applied to 4 of these
oh im so fried
It’s because preppy kids from Maine and NE use it as a fail safe in case ivies/t20s don’t work out
Are these your apps?
peep the LAC thread its been buzzing this past couple weeks
Constant activity fr
Nope top 10 most affluent student bodies
colorado college at the top yep
My list is a lot longer than that lol
I think my aunt went there
My granddad is rich so checks out
is tufts syndrome a thing anymore like do they yield protect
Yes apparently so
But I’m not getting in anywhere above tufts
Heard they value DI a lot, yk memyself also did a lot for tufts DI
Like webinars, AO chats
All I did was interview
my essays are buns too
Apparently they prescreen, and try and get people from your major to interview you
Very few interviews this cycle
I didn’t even interview 😭
I talked about a band, a politician and Boston, what could go wrong?
hmm
I didn’t get an interview lol, I just clicked the request button
Isn’t tufts dental and med school rlly good
no one got interview ngl
Is this a paramore fan I see
Omg twin
i love them sm
i saw them live in 2023 it was so good
Didn’t even do that
ugh same they are incredible
punisher pfp and paramore tag is so peak music taste
i had a phase in october where i only listened to kyoto for a week
day off in kyoto 
What😭 where did you find out they prescreen
Someone here said that
source: trust me bro
next someone's gonna tell me that tufts is secretly the 9th ivy
#1441094083652358164 message
oh
Source one guy
pyth is a tufts student
pyth does go to tufts tbf
@fallow veldt lets elaborate ❤️
Someone at UMass told me to avoid tufts cause it’s super gay
Little do they know I’m bi
🥹🥹🥹
but the fact that no one here got it makes me think they work more like AO interviews for ppl on the fence
which umass
Amherst
LMFAO
She’s my neighbor lol
that’s a comment i would expect out of UML or UMD
twin dont u live in dubai
Failed chem and physics in IB finals, and is now going to study chemical engineering
Yeah close enough
I know like 6 people going to UMass from around here
tufts is pretty gay but not as gay as umass amherst lowkey
Lmao, what’s the most gay school?
In mass
Expected
least gay is probably UMD or BC
Bc is Jesuit right?
yeah
but compared to georgetown or fordham it’s more similar to UND
Fordham is religiously affiliated? Lmao I didn’t know
fordham is also jesuit yeah
All I know is it’s in NY and better than NYU
real shit
@fallow veldt do you know what the labor dispute is about
they’ve been picketing for like over a year
genius right here
and they brought scabbers out last year (the big rat)
Should I stay up for tufts, it’s 12 alr, I could just wake up later and open it like an unbothered king
go to sleep for 3 hours
wale up
get in
go back to sleep nomchlantly
see u soon
omggggg
kinda low amt get waitlisted
nope
i thought it was like a relatively high percentage
oh well
is any amount of pell grant good
i get a tiny bit
maybe I don’t actually know
It just says pell grant eligible so
id say maybe if they liked your application and saw your pell grant % it would be a boost
They arent paying ras
pyth
8% ish
actually i mean they are paying ras but like
interview is pre screened what do u mean by this
They are losing benefits eyc
They pick people who to interview im pretty sure
rly? i usually see workers on the new dorm with the signs
But its not as serious as in yale/harvard
hm
like being interviewed doesnt mean ur a good candidate
and they’re usually on the corner by the T at like boston and college av
Or that you have a really big chance
Yeah that too but idk if thats tufts
Thats like the construction company not paying them
Tufts is also just bad with money in general
Ohhhh that’s good that its not tufts
They’re building an aquatic center for sm reason
there’s 33% chance to get off waitlist though which is good
Medford/Somerville city councils when you mention Tufts tax payments 😭
omg yeah like what the fuck
where is that btw
ive heard about it but not seen it
lowkey the new dorm by dowling hall is going up fast though
now that they’re actually building
good fallback
lol
my stomach started hurting
Couldn’t sleep
It was the night before tufts
That long
and throughout the house
Slept 57 minutes
2 hrs!
You’re so funny
it’s coming in 2 hours exact right
1 hour and 45 minutes
‘Twas two hours before tufts
And all through A2C
The students were worrying
If their GPA started with a 3
😭😭😭😭
They have to accept me now
i wrote the same thing about columbia and got rejected… watch out
