Official Tufts ED1 2017 Hopefuls

<p>Great thinking! Looks like I will be mentally preparing myself for tomorrow. Oh boy. Can’t believe everything is finally becoming real!</p>

<p>Wow, quite the friendly, uplifting community we have here; it certainly makes you appreciate the personality type that Tufts attracts; I wonder if the Ivy League threads look any different ;). What everyone has said so far is true, but I would like to add one more thought to the pile of optimism. </p>

<p>I read in a book that success in life is correlated far more strongly to the colleges you apply to, not the ones you get accepted to. Tufts is an amazing university — you have to have to believe you are quite good to choose it as your early decision school in the first place. You obviously believed you had a chance at getting in or you wouldn’t have applied. If you are rejected, it is not because you are a lame person, there were simply others that maybe tried slightly harder than yourself. Use a rejection from tufts to simply motivate you to do better in college and applying to jobs, not to relinquish all hope from making a difference in the world.</p>

<p>I am sure almost everyone has heard this before though, but I just wanted to remind those who might have forgot in these past few stressful weeks. (And I wrote it for myself as much as for anyone else :slight_smile: ).</p>

<p>Macdude2, that made me smile. Thanks so much. All of the posts on this thread have calmed my anxiety (well, kind of…) and have made me feel ready to face decision day, whenever it may be.</p>

<p>Thanks for that Macdude - that’s exactly what I needed.</p>

<p>I can’t sleep for nerves, but I already feel a sense of calm having read that, so going to try and go back to sleep. I need to be fresh for decision day!</p>

<p>Morning, guys. It was a rough night for me last night too. But if decisions aren’t today, is anyone planning on wearing a tufts shirt/sweatshirt to sleep tonight, just for some last minute comfort?</p>

<p>Well, it looks like today is the D day. Good luck to everyone.</p>

<p>I have read the posts from the last hours and you guys area amazing human beings. I hope my daughter gets accepted at Tufts, not only because it is a great school, but also because she would have wonderful people around her, people like you. </p>

<p>Being an international student, she is trying to be realistic and keep her expectations low. But I know that deep down she is hoping that this dream comes true. We visited 20 colleges during the summer and Tufts has something special, spirit or energy or vibe, that made her completely fall in love. I know she has other great options, and she will get into the one that is the best for her, but I just don’t want to see her heartbroken if she is denied. Fingers crossed, for her and for all of you :)</p>

<p>

<p>I feel the same way - I can’t tell you how amazing the ED apps are, and what a privilege it is to be your first choice. I personally, and I feel like I can speak for everyone else here, work hard to live up to that honor and to read your applications as thoughtfully as we can. Whatever happens (and, since CC is confidential, I genuinely don’t know what will happen), I’m rooting for your guys.</p>

<p>Thanks so much, Dan! i really hope we’ll all be at Tufts next year… i think we’d all get along!
After last night, I’ve now had THREE dreams I’ve gotten in… Please let this be a sign!! TODAY COULD BE THE DAY GUYS</p>

<p>Thanks Dan.</p>

<p>I read your blog post about the admissions committee, and even if I do get denied admission, at least I know my application will have been read and considered carefully, and that’s all I can really ask for.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone, I have my fingers crossed for you all.</p>

<p>Are we sure it’s today? I’ve been checking the site all day for blog posts/tweets and I’ve seen nothing.</p>

<p>Nope! But we all speculate that it’ll be today because it’ll allow them to push it to tomorrow if there are technical difficulties. I don’t think they wanna tell us in fear of there being technical problems today, which would result in hundreds of angry parents calling the office begging for their child’s decision. That’s what I’ve gathered from reading this thread. We can only hope! What time do you all think they’ll be released? I’m thinking between 3 and 5</p>

<p>I still think its today…
Last year, on CC Dan posted at 1:51pm for the Class of 2016 to watch out for that 3pm-ish email warning to check TAMS.
So I’m refreshing Twitter, this thread, the Tufts website and my email inbox right now like a madman (…madwoman!)</p>

<p>EDIT: If anyone is interested in my “awaiting release of decision” playlist, it goes like this:
Like Ships in the Night - Matt Kearney
Hall of Fame - The Script
The Fighter - Gym Class Heroes
I Need Your Love - Ellie Goulding</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Yes, I also think that the decisions will be released tomorrow. I hope the best for all of you folks. Keep calm.</p>

<p>I am glad I am not the only one who keeps refreshing everything!</p>

<p>Tufts admissions facebook just said that ED results go out today!!!</p>

<p>In that case, good luck to everyone.
But remember, not getting in ED - or even being rejected by your “first choice” school - does NOT mean that you are not going to have a great college experience wherever you end up. Maintaining a healthy perspective is key during this process.</p>

<p>FYI last year my sons decision was out on Tufts site 2 hours before he got the actuall email.
Good luck everyone. It’s a great school and he loves it there.
BTW it was not his 1st choice but he is absolutely in the right place.
So it’s true what they say, you end up where you belong.</p>

<p>I got in i got in i got in</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY! (^and congrats!)</p>

<p>I’m looking forward to meeting some new baby Jumbos on the hill next year!</p>

<p>Accepted.</p>

<p>I can’t believe it.</p>

<p>I’m actually crying.</p>

<p>I’m a Jumbo!</p>
