<p>i did a video and was waitlisted. i don’t think the video had that much influence but probably the variety of other factors.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!! I’m really glad because all my safety and target school applications were successful!! I got into Tufts, Boston College, Boston University and Northeastern (the last 3 accepted me at honors program!!)
I hope this is a good indicator for the ivy’s!! I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow!</p>
<p>Accepted, so far tufts is definitely my top choice. Still have to wait till tomorrow to see for the rest of the colleges that i applied to make my final choice, but Tufts is definitely awesome.</p>
<p>As for the optional essay I wrote the are we alone one. I compared the choice of belief in alternate forms of life to Pascal’s Wager ([Pascal’s</a> Wager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal’s_wager]Pascal’s”>Pascal's wager - Wikipedia)) . Fun essay to write.</p>
<p>otherwise good sats, amazing bio teacher, decent gpa, hard math/science classes.</p>
<p>Son got in. He did the optional essay imagining if the US had lost at Yorktown. He did it as a series of excerpts from newspapers, ending with the announcement of an upcoming article by himself imagining the history of the US if we had won at Yorktown. I thought it was pretty clever. He also wrote a very nice and short “Why Tufts” answer. Kept to the suggested 50 words.</p>
<p>Violingirl, that’s a small crane! My son makes origami earrings, but I don’t think he’s ever started with a piece of paper smaller than 1.5" or so.</p>
<p>Waitlisted…ugh. </p>
<p>Just curious, what’s the chances of getting in on a waitlist? </p>
<p>Congrats to everybody else though</p>
<p>rejected 
I did a YouTube video btw I sang in it.
It’s weird though cause I got into Cornell but not tufts? Oh wellsies</p>
<p>^^In our school district Tufts has proven to be harder to get into than Cornell for several years.</p>
<p>it’s like my school and Brown University. They hate us! People from my school get into every ivy except brown</p>
<p><<<it’s weird=“” though=“” cause=“” i=“” got=“” into=“” cornell=“” but=“” not=“” tufts?=“” oh=“” wellsies=“”>>></it’s></p>
<p>It is interesting because, in these parts, it is easier to get into Cornell than Tufts, which I think has to do with the superabundance of California applicants to Tufts. I think the class of 2014 has 400+ admitted applicants from California, alone.</p>
<p>As well, from my daughter’s high school, kids get into all the Ivy leagues save for Dartmouth. Few and far between for Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Congrats to all the acceptees, and I know that for the kids who didn’t get into Tufts, there is definitely a match and happiness to be found elsewhere. And Tufts, like everywhere else, does take kids off of the waitlist.</p>
<p>Rejected. :(</p>
<p>Accepted!!
I was in a bagel shop in Manhattan counting down the minutes until 3, and when it was time, I went on TAMS saw congratulations and cried for 10 minutes.
The funny part is that no one even looked at me.
I love new york and TUFTS!!!</p>
<p>WCASparent: I actually retook my SATs, and received a higher score which I will not discuss as it is now a moot point. I do, however, appreciate the fact that you took the liberty to publicly post my previous scores without my consent in an effort to chastise me. While I am upset about the decision and my comment was made in haste, perhaps you should have addressed your grievance in a private message as opposed to open forum. </p>
<p>These are simply my feelings, and I see where I have erred with my hotheaded remark. Best of luck to you as well, I will likely be attending UVA depending on the ivies.</p>
<p>I got in too and I still can’t believe it!!!</p>
<p>Got into Tufts! When will our financial aid package come out?</p>
<p>i dont know, but im glad you havent heard yet, i was getting kinda worried that i might not have gotten one :)</p>
<p>“WOWWWW waitlisted, it looks like I’ve come down with a SEVERE case of tufts syndrome. Good riddance.”</p>
<p>OR maybe you just suck. Tufts doesn’t like arrogant fools. Have fun with Ivy rejection letters tomorrow.</p>
<p>He apologized for his comment, relax @Forkingjamie…everyone is upset when they’re waitlisted or rejected.</p>
<p>Is Tufts need-blind with its admission process?</p>
<p>I’ve had three waitlists in a row, so hopefully others can understand my initial feelings after reading tufts’, a school I was seriously considering to attend. And if you so desire, I can PM my ivy results to anyone who asks for them tomorrow afternoon. </p>
<p>Good day to all, congrats to those accepted.</p>
<p>accepted!</p>
<p>Tufts and UChicago (got in EA) were my top choices, rej. from Swarthmore, Georgetown, waitlisted at Carleton and Bowdoin, (<–not devastated or shocked by any of these) got some $$$ from my state flagship. </p>
