Does anyone have any updates? I have two possible deadlines coming up in the next two weeks.

42

@Trransfer2019 I would try calling them politely to see if they can give you a pre-read of some sort or can give you any information. I’ve heard about other schools doing that it might be worth a try

43

will we likely hear back next week?

44

I know at least some decisions will be released on Wednesday (May 15th)

45

Accepted at 9:45 am!!!

46

Just admitted!

47

Wow another round of decisions…so the rest will be rejected/waitlist or there will be other waves

48

Why are they only releasing acceptances at every wave so far… what is the point in dragging it out and holding onto the rest of the decisions

49

Just accepted as well!

50

… wait what

51

@Vexaeria how do you know that?

52

@imck18 1) I have a deposit deadline on Thursday and the admissions officer I spoke to comfortably said that I’ll likely receive a decision before the end of the week. 2) The very first wave of admissions was 5/1, so if they follow a normal two week cycle the second would be 5/15. 3) Their transfer site says rolling admissions will begin on or after May 15th. 4) The CSS profile lists their award date as 5/15 (I’ve found the CSS profile award dates to be fairly good indicators personally).

So I’m not really sure, but I’m fairly confident there should be a large wave on Wednesday? I’m not sure why there seem to be random little waves of acceptances in the middle though so who knows.

@Vexaeria Gotchya- thank you!!

54

Admitted at 8am

55

Could we include time zones when referencing when something was received?

56

“My cousin works at Tufts and has close friends in admissions and she asked about release and she said definitely we will hear by the end of the week and thinks they’re doing it rolling daily so if people deny they can accept others.”
