<p>Thank you! Also, a friend of mine went ED to Princeton and he said that they pushed the date he hears back by until after the weekend. Tufts won’t do that right!? I don’t think I can stand the anxiety over the whole weekend!</p>
<p>@bananers: Yep, Princeton hears back Tuesday (next week)…I don’t think Tufts would follow suit because of the size difference in applicant pools. To wit: Princeton definitely has more ED I applications to sort through than Tufts has (not that there’s anything wrong with that!), so I think our date should remain fixed (Thursday? Friday?)</p>
<p>Brown and UPenn send notice tomorrow, Thursday is Harvard’s date and Yale has nailed down Friday.</p>
<p>Phew, that’s good to hear! Yea Tufts hasn’t posted anything about delaying the date… but they also haven’t posted anything about whether its on Thursday or Friday… Whatever I guess! Good luck to all!</p>
<p>I have a countdown on a chalkboard in my room. I change it every day, and I cry every time I look at it!!! I’m SO scared. It’s nice to see that other people feel the same way about such an amazing school!</p>
<p>Last year decisions were out Wednesday 12/14 (source: Tufts admissions FB).</p>
<p>guys, @TuftsAdmissions on twitter have said that “We never release on weekends, we always release by December 15th, and it won’t be Wednesday.” So it’ll definitely be Thursday Dec 13. Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>I mean Thursday or Friday. Sorry</p>
<p>Well, just one (or two) more day then!!! I know I am going to be mindlessly paying attention to a lecture, check Tams, and they are going to be out. Not sure if I could wait until I got home to click on the link, but maybe it won’t work out this way.</p>
<p>Good luck to the future JUMBOS!!!</p>
<p>Fingers crossed for tomorrow!! The wait is killing me! D:</p>
<p>I’ve been obsessing over this day for so long… And now I’m just preparing for the worst…</p>
<p>It’ll be truly awful to see the words “rejected” or “deferred” in bold letters on the screen, but I guess I will have to find a way to cope if that be the case.
Good luck to all my fellow applicants.</p>
<p>I feel the same way Marshy. We have to told strong. I completely understand if I get rejected or deferred, my ACT is definitely not good enough and I think that was my downfall in my application. But Tufts isn’t the only school out there. I know this is clich</p>
<p>Hold******</p>
<p>Marshy and theNDhopeful44,</p>
<p>I am so glad that you are giving out this advice; I wholeheartedly agree, and I believe that no matter what happens in the next 42 hours and 11 minutes, we will not change…our spirit will only grow stronger…and the passions in our lives,- whether it be pre-med or law, music or art, business or engineering-no matter what they are, will continue to guide us and help us reach a better day (sorry I got a bit emotional here :)).</p>
<p>Every time I check this thread, my heartbeat picks up…It feels like my individual heartbeats are racing to match the speed of the updates on the big US National Debt Clock in Times Square. Tick, tick, ticktickticktickTICK. So. Much. Debt. So. Much. Stress. </p>
<p>That was a weird metaphor. Metaphors are sort of comforting. They connect random thoughts to familiar things. Wow, I should probably go to bed. So sleep deprived. Alright, I’m off to go dream up some more weird metaphors for no one’s amusement except my own. Bye guys!</p>
<p>Reading this thread makes me cry tears of joy. It’s really true. Our acceptance/rejection from Tufts won’t automatically make us successful or failures. We’ll be where we’re supposed to be, and we’ll still work super hard. If we can find a major, a career, and maybe even a city and/or a spouse to love as much as we love Tufts, I think we can all be happy. As much as I think it will be if I don’t get in, it actually won’t be the end of the world for any of us. We’ll either make Tufts proud to have accepted us or embarrassed to have not. We can do it, guys!!</p>
<p>I’ve been stalking this thread really hard for the past 2 weeks (this and TAMS probably get more visits on my phone than Facebook), and I finally took the plunge and made an account. I’m so glad ya’ll are here and being so encouraging! It really puts a smile on my face. I know you all would make fantastic Baby Jumbos, but wherever we end up going will be the place that is absolutely right for us, whether or not it’s the Hill.
Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Do you guys actually think it will be tomorrow? Or Friday? I can’t figure it out!</p>
<p>I think tomorrow, and here’s why.</p>
<p>Dan said that it ALWAYS is released before Saturday, so take Saturday off the table.</p>
<p>…Now we’re left with good ol’ Thursday and Friday.
Dan mentioned on Twitter that he can’t reveal to us which day is the big day because if anything were to “go wrong”, Tufts would have made a slip-up and misinformed us. (Example being: They tell us to check our TAMS accounts Thursday at 5pm, but Hurricane Sandy-related events cause them to delay the decisions until Friday 5pm, and all of those students logging on at exactly 5pm on Thursday go into full-fledged panic attacks)</p>
<p>So I think what he’s saying is he can’t say its Thursday. If he can’t tell us which day it is to protect us from possibly having the date changed on us (unexpectedly), then he can’t say THURSDAY, because obviously if it was FRIDAY he could definitely tell us and it wouldn’t be “pushed to another day”. That is impossible – he said Saturday is off-limits for decision day! </p>
<p>So no matter which way you slice it or dice it, I think its Thursday. Anyone else read to the end of this and catch my drift? :)</p>
<p>I agree with telephonic! Also, he said on twitter that “they don’t release decisions on weekends, and it won’t be Wednesday. #clues” And since-- let’s face it-- we all get excited for Friday because it marks the start of the weekend, that could kind of cross out Friday… Let’s keep each other posted! Good luck to everyone!!! My heart has been pounding all day…</p>
