<p>I sent my financial information to the financial aid office back in February, way before the due date. I applied for a Non-Custodial Parent form because my father is not part of my life at all.
At all of the other schools to which I applied, the financial aid offices have been understanding and have waived my dad's financial info and proceeded to give me financial aid solely based on my mom's information.</p>
<p>Although I have called the financial aid office numerous times, they told me that they have received my info but have not yet looked at it.</p>
<p>Is it true that Tufts is no longer need blind and does that mean that I will not be considered due to my lack of funds?
I work hard and am a strong candidate, I would like to think I will be considered equally.</p>
<p>I don’t think they ever officially declared that admissions was need-blind, just that that was their goal. I think the two years prior to last year they were successful in being fully need-blind but failed to be fully need-blind last year. I haven’t heard anything about this year’s status, but I’m sure the admissions staff is doing everything they can to be as fair as possible.</p>
<p>Yeah, last year (Class of 2013 cycle) Tufts was 95% need blind. So the first 95% of applications they read were admitted/denied without regard to the applicants ability to pay. The last 5% unfortunately had to have the money. </p>
<p>I don’t remember where I read that though… I’m sure if you Google’d it you could find a source.</p>
