Tufts INterview

Have you received an interview from Tufts if you are regular decision?

i am ED II but I had an interview! not sure how the process works but it probably depends on how big your alumni base is

@giantoctopus still waiting

i’m still waiting too. i just checked again on my applicant portal and the part where it says “display” in blue next to “request an interview” has changed. i’m not exactly sure what it looked like before but it was something like “you requested an interview,” but now it says “Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.” i dont know if this means anything but just thought i would let you guys know

@cheesecakeboba That is weird. If anything, you would think they would have changed the info on 1/8 which was the deadline to request an interview. I’m surprised I haven’t heard anything yet. Maybe after EDII is done, they will start thinking about RD a bit more.

There are still a number of unclaimed (by alumni interviewers) applicants around the Bay Area (not sure about other parts of the country) but there were many more to begin with. Hopefully as we get closer to March most applicants will receive interviews but I’d say you shouldn’t fret if you don’t get one - it doesn’t reflect on you personally or on your application (alumni can’t see any details beyond your HS, intended school, and potential majors). Good luck, all!

did anybody who didn’t get an interview connect to the admissions office to ask for one? How did that go?

is it possible to still request an interview even though the deadline passed?

@trp2000 Probably not. I’m guessing they have a deadline for a reason. I think it was on 1/10, so that is long past. If you feel comfortable reaching out to Admissions, who knows what they will say. If you do, ask if I’ll be getting an interview :slight_smile:

I heard that they just extended the deadline - Also, in case you’re interested, we actually found an incredible consultant who used to be a Tufts interviewer. She was so helpful in preparing my daughter for her college interviews. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch!

@SoccerMom429 How did you hear that? What is the new deadline?

We used a consultant who used to be an alumni interviewer at Tufts and she had mentioned that they had extended the interview deadlines. I don’t know by how much though.
