fafsa date did not change. prob rejected
FAFSA changing doesnāt mean anything. This happened at other schools. Some were admitted; some werenāt. Please donāt take a change in FAFSA date as a good or bad sign.

Does anyone know why the FAFSA dates change?
For my ED school my FAFSA changed like 4 days before decisions and I did not get in (although I was deferred so technically not rejected either) so it is definitely not worth the extra stress that comes with reading into it

So I understand that the change in date has nothing to do with my admittance, however, I was wondering why the date changes?
Not sure. I would guess the FA folks may be going through docs and simply confirming they have what they need from you. Tufts is need aware so those depts are not separate as they may be at a need blind school.

Since Tufts is need aware when making admission decisions, they might be looking at studentsā EFC numbers to see whether they can admit them. Tuftās endowment isnāt as large as other top schools, so they need to take a studentās ability to pay into consideration. Of course, they also admit some students with low EFC numbers, but probably far fewer than schools that are need blind.

Got it. Also not knowing how much of the endowment was used in ED applicants we donāt know what is left. I have read that is, in normal years, a limiting factor in who gets off of a waitlist. But this year is unusual to say the least! Would be pretty great to be a full pay applicant right now. Sadly, not our situation.

I didnāt realize Tufts is need-aware. I did not complete the IDOC, do you think this will mean Iām going to get rejected?
Anyone have an idea of the time the decisions will release?
It said seven in the email
Does anyone know what we will see when we log in to the portal? Will it be the decision right away or will we have to click on a status update button?
You should be fine. Iām sure theyāll just ask you for the missing documents if youāre accepted.
