<p>I was just curious so I thought I'd ask.
Tufts is one of those schools that requires a lot of essays and welcomes supplemental info, etc. So for an average application, how much time is spent reviewing it?</p>
<p>At least one person on the AdComm will read your application very thoroughly, and then rank it in terms of the “competition.” If necessary, other members may read parts (or all) of it down the line. How much “time” is not really important (although I’d guess it takes not more than 20 minutes per application and often less). THe real concern is how much care and attention an app is given, and I believe the Tufts AdComm gives real and careful consideration to all the materials (supplementary and otherwise) that are included.</p>
