<p>I know tufts doesn't give merit aid but they do offer merit aid to people who fit certain criteria. Do you hear at the same time as decisions? Or are people notified prior. Thanks</p>
<p>You hear when you get your financial aid package, which is usually right around decision time (if not at the exact same time). I wouldn't know as I got a big fat zero :-(</p>
<p>Thanks for the response. I suppose the chance of actually getting any money would be slim to none...fitting the characteristics of the benefactor and being 'wanted' more than the usual applicant...one can only hope for a miracle :)</p>
