<p>Interesting findings. I’m sure you can start a lengthy thread on just the subject of choice of major vs. school selectivity as determinants of “success”. I’m a big believer in success coming from certain “soft” traits beyond intelligence and status and such, as discussed in the great Paul Tough book, “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character”.</p>

<p>And all your reasons for liking Tufts were my D’s when it was her first choice last year. She has not been disappointed at all. Finds herself challenged, but not oppressively so. Loves the friends she’s made, the vibe, getting into Davis Sq. I wish you and all the others on the thread good news come April 1!</p>

22

<p>do you guys think that decisions will be posted prior to april 1st? what has it been like in pervious years?</p>

23

<p>Ivy day. Whatever it is this year. Usually last Thursday of the month</p>

24

<p>dang it… i just had to withdraw my tufts rd app cause of an ED ii binding… I was REALLY curious if I could’ve gotten into Tufts premed… good luck to everyone!</p>

25

<p>Ivy Day’s 27th this time. As momworried said, it’s last Thursday of the month. </p>

26

<p>anyone knowing chances of deffered applicants…? </p>

27

<p>^I have the same question as kigzcorp. I applied ED II to Tufts and got deferred and it’s my top choice so it’s a bit nerve-wracking I guess. In terms of deferral all I know is (as Dan said on a thread), that it’s the same acceptance rate for the deferred as it is for the regular decision candidates. But surely, I think, having applied ED would have some bearing on it right? </p>

28

<p>Unfortunately, no. Tufts does not consider interest in the evaluation process.</p>

29

<p>do they evaluate deffered applicants separately?</p>

30

<p>So does Tufts release decisions on Ivy Day (the 27th) or April 1st (what its website says?)</p>

31

<p>I think it will be March 28, the Friday after Ivy. It was March 29 last year, the day after the March 28, 2013 Ivy Day.</p>

32

<p>On their website is says April 1st…is that the date or will it be March 28 as other users have said?</p>

33

<p>my defferal letter has disappeared </p>

34

<p>same! I think they’re probably updating the decisions soon then. Hopefully.</p>

35

<p>@KartKoll are you international? </p>

36

<p>@Kigzcorp Yes I am (I think). I am a US citizen living abroad. </p>

37

<p>which country? Am in Nairobi </p>

38

<p>My deferral letter is still up on TAMs. Do you think that is a bad sign?</p>

39

<p>@Gr4ce96 checked it today? </p>

40

<p>@Kingzcorp yes. I just checked again and it is still there.</p>
