2008 Tufts Transfers

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey all, I have applied to Tufts for Fall 2008 Admission and have started this thread to talk with fellow Tufts transfer applicants. Post your stats, comment on others stats, etc.</p>

<p>My stats are:
Applying for Sophomore standing
4.0 at Loyola College in Maryland with hardest courseload offered.
(18 credits first semester, 21 second semester)
Biology major hoping to take on an environmental studies double major should I be accepted.</p>

<p>HS: 3.2-3.4 UW, 3.6-3.7 wieghted.
ACT 32</p>

<p>Long list of extracurriculars-lots of philanthropy, participant in NJ Audubon Bird Survey in HS, Soccer, hospital volunteering in college, black student association, National Spelunking Society, and other clubs.</p>

<p>I am also a cancer survivor and underwent chemotherapy throughout high school. I, as you may have guessed, wrote my essay about this.</p>

<p>I'm also wondering when we hear back from Tufts if anyone knows. I check TAMS constantly.</p>

<p>Applying for sophomore standing
3.8 at Northwestern, taking some extra classes
Economics major here, adding an Urban Studies minor there
HS: top prep school didn't calculate GPA

<p>nice. Is Tufts your top choice?</p>

<p>uh...</p>

<p>3.94 at American University
3.4 HS GPA
2110 SAT, 750, 730 690 on SAT IIs
11 AP Classes (5 fives, 4 fours, 2 threes, including tests taken freshman year)
ECs: volunteering stuff, internship in HS with disabled students, captain of equestrian team (20+ hours a week, trained with Olympic trainers)</p>

<p>I doubt I'll get in...BC is my first choice anyway. </p>

<p>I though my essays were pretty clever/cute/smart and I know Tufts is big on creativity in essays...we'll see.</p>

<p>I don't think we hear until late May/early June though.</p>

5

<p>I read the 2006 thread and they heard back may 1st. hopefully its the same for us.</p>

6

<p>that would be awesome</p>

7

<p>Did anyone call the admission's office?</p>

8

<p>hmm yes, i'd like to know as well!</p>

9

<p>I called and the lady said they should be out "soon." She couldnt give me a date or time frame though. I hate ambiguity.</p>

10

<p>Anyone get any news yet?</p>

11

<p>nope, not I.</p>

12

<p>I am a transfer applicant to Tufts. However, I will be studying abroad in Eastern Europe all summer and so I had to call today and request an early notification. They couldn't give me anything and the admissions rep I talked to said that he is "in the midst" of the process. However, he confidently told me that I would be able to find out in two weeks at the latest. Thus, I'm sure many will find out before June. Hope this helps.</p>

13

<p>thanks! that helps a lot. At least I have a time frame now. The wait is killing me.</p>

14

<p>I found out that I didn't get in today.</p>

15

<p>how? if you don't mind my asking...</p>

16

<p>I got a letter in the mail, and my TAMS never updated.</p>

17

<p>Just got my acceptance letter today!</p>

<p>Like viragosa, it came via snail mail and my TAMS status never changed.</p>
