Tufts came out with near Ivy-league competition this year near 10% acceptance. The application pool must have been insane for Tufts. This has changed my perspective on the academic/student body caliber of Tufts. It will now become harder and harder. What an institution! Best of luck to everyone with their future!

Congrats to your son- he does have some excellent options! And even some potential wait list openings (if he even wants to go that route) since this year is so unpredictable yield wise.
Did anyone else get the Neubauer Scholars or know anything about it?

Not quite. Why do you feel the need to boost ?
It is a good school and that in itself is fine. Leave it at that, please.
No. Tufts is the same Tufts in a bizarre COVID year.
Your child will get in some place excellent. Keep trying. Or, maybe take a gap year and apply again to colleges. She sounds like Ivy quality.

Thx for the positive note. He did and weâre excited.
Did he apply to Columbia ? He sounds great.
Maybe a gap year with something in which he follows his passion. Then an essay explaining : a.) why this is his passion; b.) how he applied it during the gap year; c.) what he learned from this experience to build upon; d.) how he thinks this experience can be applied in the future; e.) and finally, what he learned about himself and his interactions with other people including their expectations on performance and in his providing assistance to them from these interactions.
I got it. Itâs a great program, but I turned it down for personal and financial reasons.
Trying to decide Williams vs TuftsâŠanyone have advice?
