[li] General Comments: Sigh, this was one of her two top choices. On more rejection coming in 2 hrs and then shecan get down with the business of deciding where she is going in the fall. Fortunately, she has some great options that she seems excited about, so this does not hurt too much, for either her or myself. [/li][/ul]</p>
<p>Good luck to all admits, go to Tufts, it seems like a great school.</p>
<p>to Iworrytoomuch:
I got this from Tufts' admitted class of 2012 website:
Financial Aid packages will be mailed the week of March 31st and will be available online beginning April 7th. If you applied for financial aid you will be able to view your aid package in TAMS when it is available.</p>
<p>So not having your financial aid package show up does not necessarily mean you're not accepted. It just means that the system is a little slow in updating the accounts.</p>
