Tufts Transfers- What am I up against?

<p>have any of you guys received a letter from Tufts acknowledging that they have received your application?</p>

<p>I received the acknowledgement letter in February (I turned in app really early). Does anyone know when Tufts sends out their decisions? I keep reading conflicting messages about the approximate times, and I would like to know because I got accepted to William and Mary and have to give a response.</p>

<p>Tufts is really bad about sending email notifications. I had to call them today to get my login info for the online status page. I was told that decisions will be coming in early / mid June.</p>

<p>thanks for the heads up shinkun, I just called and received my login info
mid June seems decades away</p>

<p>I sent an e-mail to the admission office yesterday, and surprisingly, a person on staff responsed to my e-mail today. She said that admissions notifications are on a rolling basis. Here's a direct quote:</p>

<p>"Transfer admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis. Some
decisions have been made and applicants have are being notified now.
This process will continue for the next several weeks, probably into
May."</p>

<p>Hope that this helps!</p>

<p>im nervousssss, tufts is my #1 choice! The waiting is terrible.</p>

<p>Word up girl.</p>

<p>Antneey, your grades are quite impressive but your lack of EC's might hurt you. One of my Tufts friends transferred in from a CC (Middlesex Community College, to be exact) with only a 3.6gpa and no SAT's, but she was highly active on campus. She was doggedly persistent with her app. to Tufts, regularly calling the A.O. to set up an interview. Suffice it to say, she BLEW them away during the interview. </p>

<p>She's now wrapping up her second semester in their pre-dental program. </p>

<p>My advice for you is, if possible, arrange an interview and wow them! If you're interested, shoot me an email - I could have her contact you and help you with any questions you might have. </p>

<p>BTW, Good luck!</p>

<p>I called tufts admissions offfice earlier in my application process and they said they do not allow interviews for transfers.</p>

<p>sopdadope, I have called the admissions office and requested an interview but they told me the same thing they told Girlygirl: they do not provide them for transfers... when you said "regularly calling the A.O. to set up an interview. Suffice it to say, she BLEW them away during the interview." are you saying that because she was persistent with wanting to have an interview, she ended up getting one? </p>

<p>In response to the EC's-I know what you mean, I don't have many BUT what I forgot to mention on my original post is that I've played varsity hockey at Suffolk U for the two years that I've been there and as mentioned, I am in the honors program which in itself entails some EC's...any comments on how these will be viewed by the admissions committee? </p>

<p>-That would be awesome if you'd have your friend contact me, I have plenty of questions that I think she could help me answer. My e-mail address is <a href="mailto:Antneey@hotmail.com">Antneey@hotmail.com</a>.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Antneey, I'll try to get a hold of her today. I'll send you her email ASAP - I think it's better to have her divulge all the details. I do know that she was granted an interview with a Tufts rep. </p>

<p>I'll get back to you soon!</p>

<p>Man, its getting too tense, this waiting.</p>

<p>so let me get this straight, we can be hearing from them as soon as tomorrow??? according to the santamaria post?</p>

<p>I just got off the phone with the admissions office and they told me that decisions will not be mailed until mid to late May.. I am now officially confused</p>

<p>Yeah, they told me the same thing. Man, they're throwing me off on where I want to goto summer school.</p>

<p>Nothing new from tufts for anybody?</p>

<p>Sorry dude. I don't think we're gonna here till may 15th at the earliest.

<p>I never got one but if anyone else did, maybe they can check it out.</p>

<p>You have to call and ask for it. Tufts doesn't acknowledge our lowly existance. ^_^</p>

<p>The admissions office is closed on Monday! ITS 12 o'clock!
Man, I'm so stressed, first G'town loses my stuff and now these guys aren't even answering. And damn mid terms are on as well.
Bah.</p>
