<p>Oh my. I can see the headlines now: “Rejected transfer students storm university, demand appeals for ‘not showing enough interest;’ University officials refuse to comment.”</p>

I think a lot of us are applying to basically the same schools. Alas.</p>
<p>Maybe we should transfer this thread to the Tufts thread so that Dan can see how interested all of us are. Maybe he will be overwhelmed with our ‘interest’ that Tufts will offer us immediate admission.</p>
<p>p.s: A girl can dream right :D</p>
<p>Actually, anyone here good at hacking? We could hack into their accounts and hold their endowment hostage! " <em>index finger right above the ‘delete’ button</em> ACCEPT US OR WE’LL SEND YOU BACK TO THE STONE AGE!" haha.</p>
<p>Now, now, no need for rash measures.</p>
<p>… said the Dean of admissions.</p>
<p>Note to any Tufts officials who may be lurking here: We’re only joking.</p>
<p>Oh yes. We are only joking. Please overlook any erm ‘over-enthusiasm’ from our side and consider all that a part of our unconditional love for Tufts ;)</p>
<p>Haha, you guys make me laugh. Good to know we’ve got a sense of humor around here.</p>
<p>That’s the only thing I have left 
otherwise I am generally going crazy.</p>
<p>^That’s exactly how I feel. Anyone have any idea when the decisions will be out?</p>
<p>Tuft’s website says mid-June, but I really hope they let us know sooner. That’s a long time from now.</p>
<p>Oh my god. That can’t be healthy. Though, I think it’s because they usually waitlist many, many applicants and thus they need time to pull people off the waitlist. THEN they’ll start evaluating transfers. List of schools that waitlisted many students this year:</p>
<p>Duke
Tufts
Penn (I think?)
Northwestern
WUSTL
Harvard (I think)</p>
<p>If you check the decision release dates of these schools, I’m pretty sure you’ll find that they reply in mid-june, too.</p>
<p>from the official websites:
Duke – mid-May
Penn – rolling basis after mid-May
Northwestern – rolling basis
WUSTL – mid-May
Harvard – early-June</p>
<p>Tufts (mid-June) still ranks highest… I don’t mean to complain much though, I’m just anxious to know</p>
<p>My assumption was somewhat correct None of the schools reply early. Cornell, USC, and Vanderbilt (among others) are already sending out decisions.</p>
<p>hahah okay, so I was a off by a month… BIG DEAL. lol. But in all seriousness, there must be a reason for this.</p>
<p>I don’t know - have you guys looked at the old acceptance threads? I swear I’ve seen people posting decisions from Tufts in May. Maybe I read what I wanted to then. That is upsetting.</p>
<p>i received my acceptance letter around late may last year. but i know other transfers who received their acceptances in early/mid june…</p>
<p>Oh, that’s torturous. Thanks for the information, blackbook.</p>
<p>I feel like I’m the only person who is dying to know what the decision is already. June is soooooo far away! I’ve spoken to a couple of students who transferred in 1 or 2 years ago and they all said that sometimes you can be notified as early as april. Anyone hear back yet?</p>
<p>maybe they say June to cover themselves if they come out later than expected? I definitely want to know already.</p>
<p>Any of you do the youtube optional essay?</p>
<p>Wait, the what?</p>
<p>just to clarify, i received my acceptance on may 22. </p>
<p>btw, it was a small envelope containing two pieces of paper.</p>
<p>good luck to everyone.</p>
