[<em>] Essays: I labored over these essays and rewrote them about 5000 times because Tufts was my first choice... I'm so shocked and thrilled that I got in among so many amazing and more qualified people but I think it might be because I sounded REALLY excited about Tufts in my essays (which is because I was). All my essays came from my heart though and were really genuine and honest.<br>
[</em>] Teacher Recs: Really nice =D
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Didn't see it but probably good
[</em>] Hook (if any): Maybe uniqueness of environmental studies major? other than that, absolutely nothing. I don't know what the admissions officers were thinking but YAY!!!!!!!</p>

<p>[/ul]Other Factors: Eh. Will attend Yes/No: Obviously not. General Comments: Did I catch the dreaded Tufts Syndrome? Either way, I think that the Tufts student body in terms of personality isn't as diverse as it could be and I guess I didn't fit that mold. It's just kind of funny how Tufts is seen as the school for "Ivy League rejects" and yet I ended up getting rejected to Tufts, but accepted to Dartmouth. </p>
<p>Waitlisted. Don't feel like filling out stats, but 2180 SAT, I'd say excellent essays, 99.1 GPA. </p>
<p>I'm actually kind of happy because it makes my decision to go to Barnard easy. Congratulations to all admitted and good luck to those waitlisted! :)</p>
<p>Accepted!!!!!!! It was my first choice too!!! After being rejected from my second, and waitlisted from my third, I was expecting a rejection here. But i'm soo happy now...</p>

[</em>] If attending, why Tufts:
[li] General Comments: Sorta surprised about this decision as well as others on this board. I may be bitter but I fully believe in Tufts Syndrome. Anyway, I would never attend a school that's not a CC Top University. :)[/li][/ul]</p>
