<p>ANyone know how many students are usually onteh waitlist? and how they determine who gets accepted from the waitlist?</p>
<p>They usually offer many students a spot on the wait list, but not everyone takes it.</p>
<p>The number of spots offered are determined by the percent of matriculation. In May or June, they re-look at all of the applications for anyone that are on the wait list and decides whom to give letters of acceptances to.</p>
<p>thanks for the info... anyone knows the % of matriculation?</p>
<p>You'll have to wait until May 1st for the numbers this year. But it's usually around 30% for Tufts.</p>
<p>I believe it's about 35% for Tufts. But keep in mind that Tufts knows this so they accept the necessary numbe rof people so that they still get an entire class, even when 65% of thea ccepted students go somewhere else. For that reason, the number of people who get off the waitlist is not extremely high. My guess is that around 100 or less get off the waitlist? (Does anyone know for sure?) I believe that one year recently no one got off the waitlist!</p>
<p>Last year it was 30%. 14500 applicants * 26% acceptance rate / 1280 incoming freshmen = roughly 30% matriculation rate. I'm guessing that's why many students were accepted off the wait list last year.</p>

<p>that might help you guys a bit</p>
<p>my year no one got in from the waitlist b/c my class overaccepted, hence why the class of 2009 is too big. Since, in my area, it looks like 1st-tier school acceptances were an absolute MASSACRE, it's possible that qualified kids who didn't get into their top schools will once again flock to Tufts.</p>
<p>er, blurinka - we are top-tier. In fact, much more than "just." Oie.</p>
<p>Can you imagine a larger 2009 situation with even more forced triples? There will be a lot of unhappy freshmen.</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist total? and you said it was 35% get admitted, totalling near 100- is that right?</p>
<p>35% is the yield or matriculation rate. Tufts has admitted anywhere between 0-25% of students on the wait list in the past several years.</p>

<p>how many people are waitlisted usually?</p>
<p>does anyone know how financial aid is affected if one were to get off the waitlist? i'm assuming that it's much more difficult to get aid...</p>

<p>Financial aid is suppose to be 100% unbiased in any circumstance.</p>

My guess would be that 1000-2000 are offered a spot.</p>
<p>it's about a thousand, i'm told.</p>
