<p>Has anyone asked a girl out you were 100% would go out with you, only to find out your of no interest to her?</p>
<p>Happened to me :)</p>
<p>Hehe that's pretty hilarious. "girls with tufts syndrome". I wish I could tell someone this, except no one I know has any idea what tufts syndrome is, much less where/what tufts is.</p>
<p>That may be the funniest topic I've ever seen posted.</p>
<p>Happened to me last night. I asked out a girl for prom, but I dont really have much of an interest in her. She's hot, but it takes more than just looks to get me interested in a girl. </p>
<p>Its funny, but these things DO happen.</p>
<p>Ahaha Tufts Syndrome, great one kinglin!</p>
<p>I have a feeling that doesn't just happen at Tufts.</p>
<p>what is tufts syndrome? i kinda have an idea, but want a concrete definition</p>
<p>Tufts Syndrome is when a school rejects/waitlists really good applicants that they think are using them as a safety school. It is a way to increase the yield of accepted applicants matriculating by accepting lower quality students.</p>
<p>i<em>wanna</em>be_Brown, I invite you to head over to the Tufts Board and look at the RD acceptance thread. There you will see many people who would be excellent candidates for Tufts Syndrome yet who were admitted. Tufts Syndrome may have been practiced when Tufts was a small Liberal Arts College, but now that it is a major university, it can't afford this practice anymore. Remember also that if Tufts Syndrome were real it would harm them in the rankings (as it would depress their average SAT and average class rank)</p>
<p>But it would increase their percent yield.</p>
<p>Ha, I had never heard of that before!</p>
<p>
<p>Its funny, but these things DO happen.
Whaaat? haha .. I think you missed the point . . he was positive that the girl he asked would go out with him, but she rejected him .. like when someone is positive tufts will accept him/her, but tufts rejects them . . ahahahah . .</p>
<p>If students are applying to Tufts as a safety or a 4th or 5th choice school, they will often pay less attention to their Tufts application and also not send follow-up letters, which indicates a lack of interest to the school, making rejection more likely.</p>
<p>I have done this before.</p>
<p>I want to know why you were 100% sure she would say yes..... sounds a <em>bit</em> on the cocky side to me. I'm sure there are guys out there who think I would say yes to them, who I wouldn't bat an eye before saying no... never take girls for granted.</p>
<p>haha
in my school the equivalent would be NYU syndrome
200 people out of a class of 800 apply to NYU</p>
<p>I've been on the receiving end of this type of syndrome. I knew the guy had been rejected by his first choice date and so when he asked I was like "I would have loved to have gone with you if I were your first choice, but considering that I was your second, I think I'll pass. Have fun." He was pretty shocked because he was sure I'd go with him. We had talked about going and I was all for it but after I found out he'd asked someone else, I was like no way.</p>
