To Submit, or Not to Submit: Any "Lessons Learned" for the Class of 23?

I looked it up on their web page and was very surprised as Tufts is pretty hard to get into. But then again they likely have a self selecting group that applies. I’m sure you could google it. I stated the number of applicants and accepted. I think it was 40/43%.

Here’s an old CC thread which talks about this as a back door. Honestly, not really a back door since you need artistic talent and a portfolio. But might be lighter on the academics for these applicants? IDK.
