It is an honor to be a rejectee from TUFTS

<p>"Tufts Syndrome" does not indicate retardation, it only indicates stunning academic achievements so stunning that the admissions people think you are going to outsmart the professors if they accept you.</p>

Really? If i have a 1.3 GPA, 600 in the SAT and get rejected, is it an honor? ;)</p>

<p>I quote:</p>

<p>Some college applicants call yield protection Tufts Syndrome, though Tufts is certainly not the only school accused of implementing yield protection, and anecdotal evidence suggests that yield protection may no longer be practiced at Tufts.</p>

<p>Anecdotal, yes, but it makes some sense that they'd stop after all the hubbub.</p>
