<p>Hi everyone! I know this is a site for people applying to college, but since there are a lot of Tufts students and alumni on here, I thought I ask ya'll for advice. I am a current freshman at Tufts, and I'd like to get more involved on campus - but I'm not sure where to start! Any activities or programs that you have particularly enjoyed, or have heard are worthwhile? Also, I'd really like to do EPIIC next year, but I've heard it entails a pretty competitive application process. How does that application process work?
Thank you so much!</p>
<p>^My recollection is that you write a short letter saying why you’d like to be in the course and then have a short interview. I didn’t see what my son sent in, but he took the course as a freshman and I didn’t think had done anything that noteworthy. (One of his APUSH papers had been about the Cuban missile crisis, and one of his AP Euro papers had been about detente, I think.) It was really an amazing experience for him - not just academically.</p>
