Tufts Class Of 2012 RD Decisions

GroovyGeek · March 30, 2008, 2:16pm

Here we go, less than 24 hours till decision time, and I need to keep myself busy so I don't annoy D too much. :D Yes, I know that it is not all about stats, but the degree to which it is not about stats varies widely between schools, and it helps future applicants judge for themselves.

No need to remove spaces, just copy/paste the text in the gray area below and add your info after the colon. Good luck!

The geeky trick is to use the [ noparse] code to prevent vCode from parsing modifiers. Here is rev1, with bluirinka's suggestions.

Another very important factor, if you are Internationals, please include if you applied for finaid or not.

bluirinka · March 30, 2008, 9:06pm

LOL Thanks GroovyGeek...clearly computers are not especially my forte. I've been trying to make this dataset for Econometrics for like 3 hours now :-D

Too much to copy & paste - D was denied admission. Her stats were not fantastic, but within the range. She had a couple of chances to meet the regional admissions rep and I thought her Tufts essays were the best of all her apps. Boo hoo.
