Congratulations, Tufts!

[CollegeMom08]

<p>Congratulations to the hard working Admissions Office on a stellar year! Great news about the Class of 2015! I'm sure the National Championship in Lacrosse and the appearances by The 'Bubs on The Sing-Off and on Glee didn't hurt either! </p>

<p>Tufts rocks! </p>

With regard to financial aid, the admissions office is this year reading applications in a need−aware manner, using what Coffin described as a “hybrid approach.”</p>

<p>“We read need−blind and then we get into committee, and there we are need−sensitive, as dictated by our budget,” he said. “We will go as far as we can go to produce the diversity that we all want.”</p>

<p>The university implemented a need−blind policy several years ago, considering Classes of 2011 and 2012 applicants without regard to financial circumstances. The economic recession that began in December 2007, however, forced a suspension of the need−blind admissions practice.

Does anyone know approximately what percentage of applicants get accepted before going to the committee?</p>

<p>^^If I understand correctly what is being stated, no one is “accepted before going to the committee.” The reader does an initial evaluation of the applicant on a need-blind basis, after which the applicant is reviewed for acceptance or rejection “in committee.”</p>
