Wishing you the best of everything too! Are you international too?
Thank you! I’m domestic, but I would need a lot of aid. Not sure how it is for transfers, but I read only ~40% of Tufts’ student population receives finaid
Yes, Tufts is need aware for everyone, I guess! and that’s a point that can backfire even when the application is strong!

A compelling application certainly helps! So far, I’ve been waitlisted from the need-aware schools I applied to, but I’m hoping for the best
I am with you! I wouldn’t expect much as this would only hurt!

I applied for the REAL program, so I really hope my decisions also come out soon!
Yeah, that helps! I have also sent them an update recently!

I see. I wish you the best! REAL program is evaluated separately, I hope!
Anyone know around what time Tufts released decisions previous years?
I wish you the best with Tufts!

Interesting tidbit from the class of 2021 thread regarding full enrollment/over enrollment at Tufts and other Boston schools.
I was on a counselor webinar yesterday with Tufts, BU, and NEU. All fully enrolled/somewhat over enrolled. No plans to go to waitlists yet, going to see how things shake out with internationals and their ability to secure visas/travel, other schools’ waitlists, summer melt, transfer action.

So does it mean transfer enrollment will also be affected? Like less people will be admitted?
I don’t know. Some schools like Vandy seem to take the same number of transfers each year. Not sure if tufts is the same or if they fill in the gaps due to attrition. One issue I’ve thought about with all the schools is the affect of juniors not going abroad. Tufts doesn’t seem as strict with on campus housing so maybe that provides more flexibility on how many transfers they can admit?
