<p>Any other transfer applicants out there? Who's excited to transfer to Tufts??! :)</p>
<p>I just got word today that I'm in - and I'm so incredibly happy! My decision will really include financial aid options, though, so I'm not sure yet. Plus I'm from CA, so the east coast is a big jump for me. But YAY!</p>
<p>How is everyone else making their decisions? Any old transfer students have tips/stories on how they made their decision to go (and reflections on whether or not it was the best choice?)? </p>
<p>Ah I'm applying as well.....were you notified via snail mail or email? Also, on your TAMS did they ever check off "counselor recomendation"? Mine is still not checked despite initially sending my teacher rec and then faxing it again per there request. Also, would you mind posting your stats?</p>
<p>Lolabelle: I'm transferring from UC Berkeley. It's a great school, but just too big. After two years of thinking "It'll get better" and trying MULTIPLE different activities/teams/clubs, I still haven't really connected with anyone. Plus, I feel like it's difficult to really interact with Professors and the school in general. There's so much red tape! I want a more intimate college experience, with students who are passionate about what they want to study, not just the grade. </p>
<p>Cavs019: I'm a 2nd year at UC Berkeley, with a 3.4. I'm treasurer of my Professional Co-ed Fraternity Delta Phi Epsilon (for the Foreign Service and Int'l Affairs - if I come to Tufts I want to start a chapter :] ) and a member of the Democrats club. I also work part time. My essays were really creative and I tried to REALLY show how much I know/researched/want to go to Tufts.
HS stats: 5th in my class, captain of water polo and swimming teams, and a 4.77 GPA. BUT I was rejected as a freshman applicant. Here's one for re-applying!! :) </p>
<p>I asked an officer about the counselor rec, and they said they use the same checklist for both transfer and freshmen applicants. The counselor rec is just used for freshman, so it's not supposed to be checked off for us. </p>
<p>Where are you applying from? Are you thinking about going anywhere else?</p>
<p>I also applied as an '07 transfer student. I am applying from Mass College of Pharmacy but have not yet herd back weather i have been accepted or not. I also applied to BU, if i get accepted to both most likely I will go to the one that gives me the most money as I like both schools. Did you hear back by TAMS?</p>
<p>letter in the mail. It was so thin that i thought it was a rejection. When i opened the first think that i saw was an envelope to reply :) .there was only the acceptance letter and the form to do the deposit.</p>
