<p>I went online today to submit my app. to Tufts. Little did I know, the Tufts Supp. was due THE FIRST, while the Common App. is due the 10th. I just thought all RD stuff was due the tenth. I e-mailed them (although I kind of regret it now...i should have just played dumb and hoped they would overlook it on their own) asking them what will happen to me. Do you think they'll reject me outright? I mean, it was only a day late and all of my teacher recs and scores are there, so my "file" should be made already, I would assume. What are your experiences with this...?</p>
<p>cross your fingers, but it was an honest mistake and adcoms aren't there to make life miserable (although they sometimes do). it's quite possible that they'll be understanding with your situation.</p>
<p>...tufts is prolly a little more strict about it cuz they supposedly have tufts syndrome: turning down overqualified applicants that consider them a safety. your mistake prolly will make them think that you aren't considering them seriously, and moreso as a safety for other schools (i don't know your stats, so i'm not sure if this is true).</p>
<p>sat: 1500, GPA: 3.4-ish UW...i think tufts would be a match...?</p>
<p>ADCOMS really hold it against you if you apply late. Unless they see you as spectacular.</p>
