Tufts Transfers- What am I up against?

<p>I called the admissions office to check the status of my app..
my folder was missing from the general file pool which means it's being reviewed right now..
ughhhhhhhhh. nerve racking.</p>

<p>thanks for that info--i just called to ask if mine had been reviewed. it has, but the woman on the phone wouldn't say if that meant it'd be mailed out now. any idea if they mail decisions as soon as they've made them?</p>

<p>Hey vlam, I just called up too, and they guy was that all final acceptances will be made on sending in the final grades for this semester. And should be sent out by early or mid may.</p>

<p>He said that my main review was done and it was just waiting for my this semesters grades. He wouldn't say for sure if I had been accepted or not, but GODDAMNIT, I WANT TO GET IN! </p>

<p>I'm gonna have extra pressure now for finals and all my other exams.All good.</p>

<p>I didn't know it was expected of us to send in our final semester grades?</p>

<p>yeah nor did I. that's stupid. my final grades wont be available until like forever.</p>

<p>The poor admissions office. We just won't stop calling.
I called today too and asked if they needed our final semester grades. His first response was "yes". Then, I told him, my grades wouldn't be out until end of may/start of June (I end may 12th, so I approximated that it would take about 2 weeks for my final transcript to come out). He then responded that I would not need to send in my final grades because notifications would be out by then. So I guess that leaves us with a conditional "yes" answer to send in final grades only if they will be completed before the notifications come out around mid-may.</p>

<p>best of luck everyone.</p>

<p>I figured that would be the case because my final grades will not be out until late May/early June: exactly when Tufts would be MAILING their decisions... I also called again today (poor admissions is rightt) to double check that they had all of my information because TAMS reported conflicting information... so before I hung up, after noticing that the person who answered was different from the last time I had called, I decided (again) to ask when exactly decisions will be mailed out...
I was told May 1st</p>

<p>I was told May 5th....haha they really need to get their acts together</p>

<p>wow, no kidding</p>

<p>May 1st is my birthday. Lets see if its gonna be a trick or treat.
Also, May 5th is my friends birthday and he doesn't want me to go.</p>

<p>Yep, I just spoke to the admissions office again, and its May 5th.</p>

<p>The admissions office sucks! I called and left a message because I need to hear from Tufts because I have to give a reply to the College of William and Mary and Wash U by May 1. The transfer admissions counselor left a message saying to call next week, and hopefullly, they can give a decision. They hadn't started review my app yet! That ****es me off because it was complete by Feb. 18! I also sent mid-term grades around March 15, but they should be able to give a reply by now.</p>

<p>is tufts your #1?</p>

<p>they never asked for midterm grades though, did they?</p>

<p>No, they don't require it. But when I called, the woman said definatly send them in if you think they will help your application.</p>

<p>i've given up on tufts.... they lost so many of my forms and documents.....</p>

<p>don't say that. now you're making me nervous. When did u send in your apps?</p>

<p>I sent in my midterm grades because they were good and would give a better picture of how I'm doing in college (because I'm a first-year college student right now). Tufts is my #1 school, and I've visited it. I friends and family in Boston, so I'm leaning towards it because I would probably have an easier time adjusting to the school. I haven't visited Wash U and William and Mary yet, but I will this weekend.</p>

<p>Chill oot chica, its just but a couple o weeks now.
But if we are all get happy, I intend to meet you guys outthere.</p>

<p>Hey guys, sorry I didn't drop by sooner. I'm having a bit of a problem getting a hold of her. The last time I spoke with her was months ago. Anyhow, I don't think she'll mind assisting you guys with your transfer apps. - just don't flood her mailbox with a gazillion emails! lol Here's her email - <a href="mailto:HallehMahini@yahoo.com">HallehMahini@yahoo.com</a>. </p>

<p>Again, best wishes to you all!</p>

<p>BTW, her name's Halleh.</p>
