D22 waitlisted . 4 waitlists for competitive schools .
Congratulations to all accepted students!! How liberal is Tufts with FA and merit scholarships?
No merit aid.
They try to meet 100% of need.

My daughter was rejected as well. It has been such a tough year, my heart breaks for her. She has great stats, good ECs, good LOCs, we thought her essays were good, but maybe not good enough
It started out great, accepted at 3 safeties, offered President’s scholarship (full tuition) at one safety, honors college at another, accepted with nice scholarship at another, accepted EA at Northeastern, and then it all went downhill. Waitlisted at U Chicago, a top choice, waitlisted at Case Western, waitlisted at American (which we thought was a safety), rejected at Johns Hopkins, rejected at Northwestern, rejected at Tufts.
We still have a few more schools to hear from, but not feeling optimistic today. I know we’re lucky she’s gotten some decent acceptances, and Northeastern ticks a lot of her boxes, but we’d hoped for more choices.
A few more decisions this week, but not feeling very optimistic.
I know a year from now, she’ll be happy and thriving wherever she lands, but it has been a tough season.
Congrats to all who got in.

This was my D22’s experience also. A great start in EA but downhill in RD. Tufts was among her top choices and she was very sad to receive the rejection note. We are grateful for a few good choices but had such high hopes going into it.

Accepted!

Signed up for, but did not get, an interview
Portal Astrology is definitely pretty accurate- I had test scores, but not the withdraw button.

Also 6th waitlist.
We feel your pain. D is in a very similar situation with 5 WLs at highly selective schools. She has some great options including UNC. But, this has been frustrating and disconcerting for her. A bunch more today and tomorrow and then we will evaluate next steps.
It really sucks to see your kid disappointed and hurting, but I hope this is the biggest disappointment and pain they suffer in life. In the scheme of things, this is a blip on the radar.
It’s all good.

waitlisted !! getting a little tired of the wls lol this is my 4th one IN A ROW (UNC Chapel Hill, CMU, BU, and now Tufts). but I was on an all-acceptance streak before this of 7 schools which included some of my top schools so I’m not mad.
no rejections so far which is a shocker in this process so I’ll see y’all on Ivy Day <3

(and @SouthYankie) thank you so much! I didn’t think I was an exceptionally strong applicant (an average “great” student if you will) so I’m kinda shocked LOL
