OK… I think this is one blog post that should do it… (in response to an earlier query).

Also, please know that you’ve all done an incredible job thus far. College admissions has become very frothy in the past ten years for a variety of reasons. I wish you all the best of luck. Know that those of us in your parents’ generation generally had it easier than you in gaining college admission and that no matter the outcome for you, you should be very pleased with your accomplishments in coming so far (and no, I really mean it).
@tigerdad Thanks so much! That blog post was really helpful and informative.
How are decisions typically released? Do they come via email or on an online portal?
@writeallnight hello my fellow NSLI-Yer haha they come out in an online portal. You should have an account, that is where the decision will be posted.
Any word on notification date?
@reecie569 haha hello, thank you! Tufts folk must like to travel, huh?
Any idea when RD decisions are released on the portal? I applied RD for Psychology
People are saying Friday?
What if they aren’t released till April 1st
My guess is that they will come out Friday 27th at 2 PM EDT. This is solely based on this thread that states “Tufts: by April 1 (2014: March 28 at 2 pm EDT).” I’m assuming they will do it on the Friday again, but we’ll see!

Ugh I’m checking my portal every hour, hoping for a glitch to let me see my decision. If I get in then Tufts would be a serious contender!
ED II came out in the afternoon around 1 or 2, so I would expect it to be the same time this Friday. Coincidentally, I’ll be heading up to Boston at 1:30
Did anyone else recieve an email from tufts just now about missing financial aid info? Could this mean anything?
@rachaell I didn’t get that. I don’t have anything missing though… I wouldn’t read into it. Good luck!
I have a 30 ACT and i thought i had an okay shot. My ECs are pretty standard (captain of the volleyball team, NHS, habitat for humanity, etc). I have a LOT of study abroad travel experience and wrote my essay about that but someone made a 30 ACT seem like a real longshot, do you guys think i have any shot?
My friend got a 30 too and she was accepted she’s a quest bridge scholar
@Silas926 You absolutely have a shot. 30 is a really good score, and Tufts has holistic admissions. Your EC’s, essays, GPA, and other factors could absolutely help you get in. Since we’re most likely finding out in just two days, I would try to not worry.
