<p>I've searched and haven't found a Tufts thread so far. So, I'm doing the only sensible thing I can do, and am issuing a call for all Tufts hopefuls.</p>
<p>I applied! Wish I had a bit more time to spiff up my main essay though…where are you applying from?</p>
<p>meeee! I literally decided on March 15th I was applying…soooo my application probably is incoherent. oh wellll</p>
<p>I applied as well and imo spent a fair amount of time on all my ****. Ive been hesitating with all the forms I need to get filled out just because I dont think Ill even be accepted and this all feels like wasted effort.</p>
<p>I know how you feel. Doing all those extra fin aid forms, forcing my parents to help me…no guarantee that I’m going to get a tangible reward for all that effort. Plus I just got waitlisted at a school that I thought would take me. Discouraging, I think it’s pretty likely that I’ll end up sticking to my current school.</p>
<p>@birdhouse: I’m applying from the University of South Carolina. What about you? </p>
<p>I’m actually fairly happy with my effort. And if I don’t get in, I don’t get in. At this point, when it’s so far out of our hands, I’ve taken on a whatever happens, happens attitude. We’ve put in a lot of work. Hopefully the admissions people will see that.</p>
<p>I’m also at a state school…UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I hope so. Yep. At least we can stop wondering “what if…?” or at least I <em>think</em> will. Either transferring next year or else, I don’t like the idea of transferring as a junior and spending half of my undergrad career working to get to another school. If you don’t get into Tufts, I doubt you’ll be able to remember that fact in 10 years. Good luck to all of you guys regardless! :)</p>
<p>I think the big thing for me is that I like where I am but I want to be at a place where the students actually care about their grades and learning but I figure if I dont get in, Im still happy regardless since I enjoy where I am.</p>
<p>I am an international from India.</p>
<p>Hello again, Maelstrom. haha. International from Egypt.</p>
<p>Ha ha. Hi again Lobzz 
Looks like we have common colleges. Wait, did we already do this in another thread? ;)</p>
<p>Looks likes we’re applying to the same schools… ahhh life.</p>
<p>I applied as well. Major: Physics</p>
<p>I applied as a Chemistry major. Hi Lobzz, looks like we may see each other at either Tufts or Cornell!</p>
<p>@birdhouse, why do you want to transfer out of UCB? That was my goal coming out of high school, got denied though :(. I have friends that go there and they all seem to love it.</p>
<p>C2H5OH!!! Love ur name :D</p>
<p>Hehe thanks Maelstrom. </p>
<p>I saw that you’re from India, what the heck do they feed you guys there to produce so many intelligent people lol?! I took general chemistry and organic chemistry with pretty much the same ~100 classmates, and each time ended up with the 5th highest grade in the class. The 4 ahead of me were Indian international students, every <em>single</em> time!</p>
<p>LOL. Right from our childhood we’re brainwashed and I mean literally brainwashed into believing that academics are everything. And come on, coming from a country that doesn’t generally encourage anything other than academics there is little option left for one to do. But trust me there are loads and loads of dumb people here. I mean really dumb :)</p>
<p>C2H5OH: haha. Yes! or at neither… Really pessimistic. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>If we don’t get in, we could always… RAM THEIR GATES DOWN AND FORCE THEM TO TAKE US. lol.</p>
<p>IR major here. Sophomore transfer. Hoping for the best – Tufts is my first choice.</p>
<p>@lobzz
Yes!! We should all march together, organize a sitting and show them ‘interest’ :D</p>
