Colleges and Universities A-Z Tufts University

<p>Does anybody know when tufts publishes info on this years class? Admit rate, sat, geographical profile etc</p>

<p>When has tufts released this info in the past?</p>

2

<p>Not before August, and quite possibly later than that.</p>

3

<p>I hope the admit rate has gone down, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>I think I remember an article in the daily saying 26%, that seems a bit low though.</p>

<p>[Tufts</a> Daily - Tufts accepts 26 percent of pool, suspends need-blind admissions](<a href=“http://www.tuftsdaily.com/tufts-accepts-26-percent-of-pool-suspends-need-blind-admissions-1.1639896]Tufts”>http://www.tuftsdaily.com/tufts-accepts-26-percent-of-pool-suspends-need-blind-admissions-1.1639896) 26%</p>

<p>that was it!</p>

<p>awesome. hopefully our rank won’t suck as much this year.</p>

<p>? Rank means nothing.</p>

<p>My friend whos an alum gave me this from an alum newsletter:</p>

<p>This year, Tufts accepted 26.5% of its 15,039 applicants to enroll the 1,316 members of ’13. With an average class rank of top 6% and the highest enrolling SAT means on record - 710 (Critical Reasoning), 712 (Math), 714 (Writing) - the class of 2013 is an academically powerful cohort. Candidates to ’13 applied to Tufts from 4,195 different high schools, all 50 states and 122 different countries. The dynamic and diverse nature of the applicant pool allowed us to enroll an equally dynamic and diverse class. Domestic students of color make-up twenty-five percent of the class, over one hundred students are matriculating from overseas, nine percent of the students in ‘13 will be the first in their family to attend college, and nine percent are Pell Grant recipients. Massachusetts (237), New York (139) and California (129) are ‘13’s three largest contributing states, followed by New Jersey (101) and Connecticut (92) to round out the top five. With all said and done, it is easy to state that the class of 2013 is an exceptional collection of young adults who have both a lot to gain and a lot to offer Tufts.</p>

<p>as much as i would like it to mean nothing, it unfortunately determines how much the schools name is recognized, which is important when applying for jobs.</p>

9

<p>Depends on what jobs. And it means little to nothing if you plan on grad school, esp. med school.</p>

10

<p>I would say for the vast majority of jobs it matters. And it does have a lot to do with grad school, except for med school.</p>

11

<p>i’d still go with the old saying, “everyone who matters will know of tufts, and know that it is a great school.”</p>

12

<p>Maybe in the US. More likely in just the northeast.</p>

<p>Outside of there people will probably just remember it’s old reputation as a marginal regional school that kids used as a backup twenty years ago</p>

13

<p>That’s not the rep it has here in California. Or are you just trying to stir things up?</p>

14

<h2>people will probably just remember it’s old reputation as a marginal regional school that kids used as a backup twenty years ago</h2>

<p>Do you have something against the school? lol</p>

15

<p>

I guess you’d be an expert on this considering how much time you’ve spent in the job market…</p>

16

<p>STRONG vouch. And I guess I’ll say the same thing that I’m sure you’ve heard before: it’s not the school you attend, it’s what you make of the school you attend.</p>

17

<p>

lol why don’t you wait 2 or 3 years before spreading your wisdom on the job market.</p>

18

<p>20 years ago? jeez i’m assuming your in college/high school and maybe not even past 20 yrs, who cares about 20 years ago (besides i don’t even think that’s true…)</p>

19

<p>You don’t need experience in the job market to know. Just look at what colleges are most commonly found in the upper echelons of the world.</p>

<p>And I’m not saying tufts has no reputation or prestige (I hate that word)</p>

<p>I’m saying it gets less than it deserves</p>

20

<p>Where exactly are you looking? Tufts graduates are governors, senators, prime ministers, CEOs of top corporations, Oscar-winning actors… I’d say Tufts is fairly well represented in the “upper echelons of the world” especially considering the school’s increase in “prestige” in semi-recent years.</p>
