<p>Son accepted at Tufts (and Pomona, Brown, Penn and a few LACs) and headed to Tufts!</p>

<p>Not gonna divulge my son’s specific data but very high standardized tests, high GPA, and a host of interesting things that took him far afield from his home geography. He wants to save the world and met like-minded people upon touring Tufts, twice. He feels he effectively communicated his passion for altruism in his essays.</p>

<p>Tufts syndrome is seeming more and more like an urban legend.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone wherever they land.</p>

Though I can see where I could have gone wrong, the feeling still sucks.</p>

<p>BTW my son got accepted today, but i would never have put up with him getting such low grades and woe is me attitude.</p>

<p>I never intended to sound like I was complaining past expressing my disappointment. I am well aware that just because I come from a region of fairly intelligent students, I should not feel personally entitled to be accepted into a high-level school. I know that I live a life of great relative luxuries, and that my grades needed work in most people’s eyes (I tried to keep them up as much as I thought I could), and I reserve the highest respect for those students who perform at near-perfect levels while working jobs to support their family; these individuals are truly motivational to me. The purpose of this thread is to divulge the statistics and reactions of accepted, wait listed, and rejected students, and that’s all I was aiming to do. I did not mean to offend anyone, by any means, and my mention of my peers was simply to point out the many highly-motivated students that surround me, certainly not to suggest they are “supermen.”
To be honest, I had no idea I may sound that way on the Internet (as you pointed out, I live a fairly sheltered life), but at least I have been better informed about my tone and how to try to improve it.
Best wishes to your son.</p>

<p>Wow, way to overreact alleristic</p>

<p>Alleristic’s comment was over-the-top, in my opinion. You–a parent and adult–are haranguing a KID for feeling a little upset/bitter after getting rejected? I would have liked to see a little more maturity. If you wanted to critique his post, you could have done it in a much more respectful way. I think alleristic should be the one apologizing here, not cfxdct.</p>

<p>I had a ton of good extracurriculars and a bunch of leadership within them. I was a three sport athlete and captain of two of those teams; I also founded two clubs, one of them being the Japanese Visual Culture Club. I was a BBYO member and an active member of my school’s community service club.</p>

<p>So far my track record is:</p>

<p>Accepted-
Tufts
Georgetown
Tulane
Syracuse
Miami of Ohio
Indiana
Colorado Boulder
Bates</p>

<p>Waitlisted-
Washington University in St. Louis
Bowdoin
Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>Rejected-
Columbia
Northwestern
Middlebury</p>

<p>I’m only waiting on Michigan, but that doesn’t really matter to me. It’s either Georgetown or Tufts!!!</p>

<p>alleristic, shame on you. As a parent, your attack of a student for the comments you found troublesome was bad enough (would you want the same for your child from an anonymous adult?), but the addition of unwarranted and immature jabs at “low grades” and a “woe is me attitude” was completely uncalled for. People like you are the reason this site is a toxic environment for kids already under the severe pressure of college admissions.</p>

<p>What the heck?!</p>

<p>“have never commented before but your comments really had a visceral effect on me. You have a exagerated sense of entitlement. Your attitude is almost insulting and that is probably one reason why you turned off the admission committee. Your comments about the supermen in your town is laughable compared to kids who attend places like Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Boston Latin who often have to travel two hours to school and work to put food on the family table and still get higher grades than you, without complaining. You think you have fierce overachievers in your school, well, Bronx Science has graduated 8 nobel prize winners, 7 pulitzer prize winners, have the top debate team in the country and the most intel semifinalists. You have a cushy existense and there is no excuse for your low grades. Your SAT’s show you have more ability. You should do more studying and less complaining about others.”</p>

<p>ACCEPTED</p>

<p>SAT: 2300
GPA: 3.6 UW, 3.83 W
Subjective areas: mediocre
Others: self-studied for a lot of AP tests; mostly fives. upward trend in grades</p>

<p>alleristic: thank god you never commented before, and i hope you never comment again.</p>

<p>cfxdct: the CC community apologizes to you for having this kind of disdainful insensitivity infiltrate our threads. You’ve been accepted to some very fine schools, good luck.</p>

<p>I agree. Thank god Alleristic is not my parent. Get off this o chastise your child for not getting into Harvard</p>
