Colleges with "tufts syndrome"

<p>Lehigh has it. A friend was accepted to Dartmouth, Wash U, Tufts…not Lehigh. </p>

<p>Pitzer. My friend got into every school she applied to (including Harvard, Yale, and many top liberal arts) but got waitlisted at Pitzer.</p>

<p>“Lehigh has it. A friend was accepted to Dartmouth, Wash U, Tufts…not Lehigh.”</p>

<p>It is VERY important to Lehigh that the applicant demonstrate interest - they REALLY appreciate applicants who come to the campus for an info session & tour.</p>

<p>… sigh …</p>

<p>Well, if what we mean by Tufts Syndrome, is that a factor in the decision making process is demonstrated interest – then all we have to do is look up the CDS for any school and see what they say. – Lehigh specifically says that this is “Important” as compared with Class Rank and GPA which are only “Considered”</p>

<p>Every institution besides Harvard and Yale, really.</p>

<p>She spent a weekend at Lehigh. I’m thinking that demonstrated interest. </p>

<p>That’s ridiculous. Were that true, most people who got into the top schools would have been wait-listed by their safeties.</p>

<p>Colgate, for sure…
A friend of mine who was accepted as an international demanding lots of aid in 2005 at Columbia, Dartmouth and Princeton (the last two were still not need-blind) was rejected at Colgate.
I was also rejected yesterday and feel that I might have been tufted. :D</p>
