<p>okay so i was in love with tufts since i saw it and I KNEW I WANTED TO GO THERE...and it was always my dream...but i never thought id get in</p>
<p>now that i sent in my ed 2 stuff...it hit me that i might actually get in...and thats ALITTLE scary...idk why i feel this way...but all of a sudden im not sure if i want to be limited to this one school...i still wanna go there and would pick it over any of my other choices...but still it feels weird with the idea that i might HAVE to go there....am i going insane?</p>
<p>lol, I don't know what to tell you. I got in ED I to Tufts recently, as you know, and never thought I could get in until the last few weeks, when I started to realize that my application was stronger than I had thought. Personally, I felt as though it was the best school for me and the best school I could go to with what I wanted, in the right location. If as you say "would pick it over any of my other choices", then I say you're perfectly fine, I realize it's scary to think that you're locked in to one school, even if it's your first choice, but if it's where you want to go, you're set. Also, as we've discussed, their financial aid seems to be quite good, so you shouldn't worry about that. :) GOOD LUCK!</p>
<p>Its quite typical to have second thoughts. I was accepted ED to Wake Forest and I know more than anything that I want to go there and that I'm happy. But its natural to feel anxious or unsure of the decision you made. It will be hard watching other people get multiple acceptances and wonder if you made the right choice. But the thing is the choice is made. You'll start to feel more excited later. It takes a little while for it to sink in.</p>
<p>I hear ya. In the last two days I've been having second thoughts, about decisions not to apply to schools I'd been seriously considering right up until I finalized my list last summer, and I'm almost more excited at the prospect of some of my RD schools than I am about my ED2 school. But every time I weigh the pros/cons I come to the same conclusion...so although I know I'm doing the right thing, it's just kind of hard to convince myself of that.</p>

<p>Although speaking of the Tufts app....
I decided I might apply there, since the number of schools I applied to is kind of low. Yet, the app is UGLY. I'm DEFINITELY not a fan of the "3 hour time limit" thing, even if they do let you pre-prepare an essay.</p>
<p>lol it NEVER took me more than half an hour to fill out the other stuff on any app...and if you somehow dont manage to finish in 3 HOURS...you can always start over...but the deadline passed anyways...actually today is the deadline</p>
<p>well considering you only have a limited time...it doesnt matter that you cant come back at this point...by the time your three hours are up youll probably have to submit it anyways</p>
<p>I applied EDII on XMas to Tufts also, and I got pretty panicky the few days after I did it. Unfortunately, all of my relatives made me feel even worse because they were like "Tufts isn't Harvard, what's wrong with you??" THEN I remembered that I did it because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go there, so, yeah. :) It won't get you down for too long, i'm sure.</p>
<p>i think one of the biggest problems is that i really wanted to go to brandeis before i even knew what tufts was...and then i liked tufts alot better....but now i dont even know...ahhhhhhhh....o well i guess its too late now</p>
