<p>are they serious??</p>
<p>If anything, you are referring to the enrollment rate out of total applicants.
The acceptance rate is around 25% and the enrollment rate is around 30% of accepted students, which makes around 8% of all applicants enrolling there.
This is taken directly from my decision letter:
"Please understand that in a most selective admission process like Tuftsin which the acceptance rate was only 25 percent"</p>
<p>Obviously they accept more than 1275 people. Not everyone accepted is going to attend.</p>
<p>touche, sir.</p>
<p>where did u come up with 8%???</p>
<p>Don't forget Tufts has 2 EDs; they must have taken at least 30% of pple then, thus RD becomes unproportionally competitive (considering Tufts's status)</p>
