Hey guys, I don’t think anyone has started this thread so here it is. Go 'Bos!
Hi! I’m currently working on my Tufts app (prompt #2: done! Still need to do prompts 1 and 3, though). I’m hoping to send it off soon! I really liked Tufts when I visited over the summer, and I’ve fallen in love with it even more since. Tufts is definitely a reach for me, so I’d be really surprised if I got accepted, but I absolutely love the environment at the school and know I’d love it there. Really excited to “meet” other Tufts applicants!!
I’m an international student applying to Tufts 
almost done with my supplement (just one part left to go!) just curious, what percentage of students does Tufts admit in regular decision? considering it has 2 early application periods.
@pavingparadise Here’s an article from January where Dean of Admissions Lee Coffin estimates that the admitted students from the two ED rounds will “comprise 43 to 44 percent of the overall Class of 2019”.
So I guess that means an estimated 57 to 58 percent of the incoming class comes from RD.
Thanks! that helps
@pavingparadise No problem!
So, why are you guys applying to Tufts? Like what made you want to apply and what’s your favorite part about the school. For me, my friend introduced me to Tufts and I fell in love with the campus when I visited.
Anyone applying for non-engineering/science fields?
I’m applying for architecture!
I’m applying for International Relations (their most popular major lol)
@ellesea Not anymore.
Computer Science has recently surpassed IR as Tufts most popular major
@greensak 466 CS majors to 464 IR majors, that’s crazy awesome! Are you hoping to major in CS at Tufts?
Hello friends, I’m applying for CS!
@divu123 i’m applying for architecture too!!
also, this is a little off topic but are you guys submitting your ap scores? i know theyre not necessary but im conflicted…if u self report them u should report all of them or else theyll assume something. i have two 5s, two 4s, and two 3s lol and also one 3 is in studio art which has to do with my interest in art/architecture as a major. should i submit them?
@969028 Oh nice!! Have you submitted an art supplement? What did you include in it?
@divu123 i havent yet but i have used slideroom before so im just gonna include the portfolio that ive previously used. i dont really have a lot of architecture related things because that interest sort of sprouted through studio art in the first place…im planning to major in architecture and minor in studio art! how about you?
Yeah that sounds exactly like what I did… I only did art in school, so my portfolio has work in a range of media (acrylic paints/ charcoal/ pencils to mixed media/ installation). I only have one architecture project.
@divu123 that sounds great!! idk whether or not i should submit my AP scores though bc i got a 3 on studio art lmao…im not that upset about it though because art is subjective and i have faith in mine but still a 3 lmao
@969028 you should submit it! What kind of work do you have?
@divu123 thanks, I think I will haha. i also have a mixture…graphite, acrylic, watercolor, mixed. i have too many things since ive been doing art since i was 5 but not many im extremely happy enough with to submit. no architecture projects though!
