<p>Lets not all call Tufts syndrome today ^^; honestly, I’d say Tufts has gained sufficient prestige to rid itself of its bad reputation with admissions. Congrats to everyone who was accepted !!</p>
<p>With that said, Tufts can go **** itself since they rejected my sister ^^, who was recently accepted to NW; shows how arbitrary decisions really are. She interviewed and her essay were really strong :P, she also had a 2320 SAT. No idea what happened there.</p>
<p>My financial aid package still isn’t up!</p>
<p>Mine either! Maybe it takes a few hours/days to post the financial aid after your acceptance is posted?</p>
<p>Probably! Where’s Dan when you need him??</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>Best of luck everyone.</p>
<p>I’m sure Tufts did have an extremely competitive applicant pool, but it seems everyone I know has been rejected :S; most people I know from my old school who applied had stats of around 2100 in the SAT. The few who got in (2) were 2250+ and are aiming a lot higher than Tufts. I know the small amount of information isn’t enough to form a conclusion but I have a feeling that Tufts is going to get screwed up the ass in terms of yield this year xD</p>
<p>RD class of 2015 here: if it works the same as last year, you won’t find out about financial aid for a little while. I think mine came in the mail a week or two later. ps welcome new Jumbos and I hope to see you on the hill next year!!</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome worked to their benefit with me, yield wise. Already got in somewhere better. Irritated that I put in the effort into the app/demonstrated interest, when if your scores are too high, it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Anyways I don’t why I’m posting in this forum, IDC about Tufts :P</p>
<p>Ha. What is Tufts syndrome? I have high SAT scores (2300+) and good EC’s, high GPA, etc. Are you really implying that it’s a hindrance? (I was put on the waitlist.)</p>
<p>At Tufts it is supposed to be haha. You’re too good for Tufts with scores like those ^^.</p>
<p>son was rejected too. His brother is there now. No double jumbo family- that would have been too easy. good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>Or maybe Tufts has a holistic admissions process that recognizes that test scores do not define people. Not sure why people feel compelled to make excuses why they didn’t get in. Just know it was not the right fit and move on. If your scores are high enough to make you a victim of “Tufts syndrome” you should have plenty of great choices!</p>
<p>Denied!! : / Thought she was a perfect fit… 2240 SATs, 4.3 GPA, blah, blah, blah. Oh well, maybe Cornell has some smarts. Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>Rejected…oh well. Congrats to everyone accepted! Tufts is an amazing school and I hope everyone who chooses to attend has a great 4 years (almost) in Boston!!!
On a separate note… The concept of “Tufts Syndrome” has been so over-discussed on this forum. Why would Tufts choose to admit someone who thinks they’re too good to attend? I’m sure Tufts would be happy to admit an applicant who is extremely qualified, as long as they show they’re a good match for the school and express that they’re interested in attending if accepted. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the supposedly “overqualified” rejected applicants didn’t write the optional essay, didn’t visit campus, didn’t interview, etc. Tufts receives so many qualified applicants who truly want to attend that they have no reason to admit students who don’t appear to be excited about the prospect of matriculating. The bottom line is that Tufts is one of the best, most selective universities in the world, and it is impossible to be overqualified.</p>
<p>REJECTED? So confused! Hopefully things turn for the better! :)</p>
<p>Waitlisted…it seems like a lot of people were waitlisted and rejected</p>
<p>My D got accepted…</p>
<p>BRAVO, Spanky12. YOU are a class act. Still waiting for son to get home from school for him to check his mail… :-¥ (that’s supposed to be me biting my lips…)</p>
<p>Tufts is an awesome school. Even if my S doesn’t get in, Tufts is an awesome school, folks. Let’s keep our disappointment at a respectful level.</p>
<p>Thanks, Dan, for being such a positive presence on CC. You have been great throughout this process.</p>
<p>Rejected…don’t know where I went wrong, thought my interviewer loved me. This is my first rejection…not feeling too good about Ivies in 2 hours 
Congrats to all those accepted!</p>
