<p>I am submitting my supplement tomorrow and my Common App Thursday probably. The Tufts thing that was mailed to me says that if I send my stuff in too close to the deadline I probably won't get an interview. I called the admissions office awhile ago but they said I couldn't get it without submitting the supplement first. I think an interview would help me but I'm not sure if I can get one. Suggestions?</p>
<p>Send in your supplemental paperwork now and leave it on them.</p>
<p>Tufts is one of those schools where they care deeply whether or not you show interest. The interviews at Tufts are done by alumni and there may be a problem getting a volunteer lined up to interview you. If you visit the campus, ask for an interview then. I would keep after them and show interest in other ways, too.</p>
<p>ive done everything to show interest except do an overnight stay. i guess if i dont get an interview scheduled ill just drive up there and ask for one, its only like 30 min away from my house</p>
