<p>Did you guys receive a financial aid package today in your acceptance package? I didn't. Will they be mailed out separately and arrive soon? Also how is Tufts financial aid?</p>
<p>I applied for FA as well. The TAMS website said that you will be able to access your package on Tuesday. Just check the website again. Congrats on your acceptance and I hope we both get $$$!</p>
<p>I heard that they were coming in the mail by Saturday, and will be on TAMS by the 6th…</p>
<p>I just got my financial aid package in the mail today. I was pleasantly surprised at how generous it was.</p>
<p>Does Tufts usually grant appeals? Apparently, they calculated my EFC to be 2x what FAFSA calculated it to be.
There’s absolutely no way I can afford to go to Tufts with the aid they gave me…</p>
<p>it blows too because I was really excited to go and already told all my friends I was going.</p>
<p>You can appeal. But if you appeal, it should be based around your financial circumstances. Contact the financial aid office.</p>
<p>Got ours today. It is definitely do-able for us. The numbers are comparable to the other FA offer we have in hand, so money won’t be the deciding factor.</p>
<p>Great news, CountingDown. You should know that those of us with ties to both Chicago and Tufts can’t wait to hear the big decision!</p>
<p>Seashore, he’s at Chicago right now and heading to Tufts this weekend. I can’t wait to hear the decision, either!</p>
<p>Disappointed in the package my son received, as compared to other schools. He was going to visit Tufts but it is now off his list. Hate to rule out a school due to funds, but we don’t want to borrow beyond a certain point, and we have another child headed to college in two years. Luckily he does have another option at an excellent school, but he was seriously considering Tufts.</p>
