<p>can anyone click on the online TAMS site yet?</p>
<p>Not yet, today I called and asked about the specific date I could expect them to mail my decision by... </p>
<p>The girl told me that they were starting to mail out decision May 5th. She looked up my personal information and told me that they had just started looking at mine so she said i would probably have to wait a little later. </p>
<p>Maybe if you call tomorrow, you can get them to tell you what day you should expect yours on...
it doesnt really help me get the decision sooner...but I guess im less antsy now.</p>
<p>TAMS link is still grey, hopefully that will change tomorrow!</p>
<p>Although I know that I've been accepted, I still haven't gotten my snail-mail acceptance packet. Grrr... Anyways, I saw my financial aid "decision" on TAMS, and Tufts didn't give me anything other than a really small loan! My family is trying to appeal their decision (When I got into Wash U, they said that I didn't qualify for aid. We appealed and got some decent from them. I'm going there because they won't accept a lot my credits because they are stupid.) This is really bad because I can't afford to go Tufts without any fin aid. So if I don't get any sufficient aid after the appeal, I'm going to be going to the College of William and Mary (still haven't heard back from Cornell yet though) because it's way cheaper, even though I'm out of state.</p>
<p>Aahh Still Gray!! Things Must Die...</p>
<p>wow...I AM SO NERVOUS</p>
<p>Calm down guys, even my TAMS thing is greyed out, even thought it wasn't a while ago and I've already sent my enrollment deposit. Tufts isn't the fastest place for internet stuff, CMU is.</p>
<p>had my last final today and no word from Tufts yet, this means that now all of my time can be completely dedicated to the TAMS website..</p>
<p>I went to get my mail today and saw a large white envelope poking out from the pile... after picking my stomach up from the floor, I reached in to see if it was what I thought it might have been BUT, of course, it was not! </p>
<p>maybe tomorrow is the day...</p>
<p>hahaha...i check my mailbox 4 times a day. is that weird?</p>
<p>at least its nice to know that there are other people who can sympathize with my craziness right now...</p>
<p>did they get alot of applicants this year?</p>
<p>My daughter received her acceptance today via regular mail (business envelope). We're in the midwest.</p>
<p>I am so upset! It looks like that I won't be going to Tufts because they didn't give me any financial aid after my appeal. Unless a miracle happens, I'm not going.</p>
<p>i'm so sorry santa! what's your EFC?</p>
<p>I prefer not to say, but basically, my EFC is pretty high, according to the Tufts model. It's pretty upsetting, and personally, I would have rather been rejected than know that I can't afford it after being admitted. Although both of my parents work, I have a brother who also attends Macalester College (Mac actually gives him decent aid), and we can't afford to pay full price Tufts tution because there's two of us in college at the same time. It's weird because Wash U gave me a pretty good package after my appeal (they said that I didn't qualify for aid at first). I rejected Wash U's admission offer because they wouldn't accept a lot my credits and basically said that my first year at Mount Holyoke is a waste of time. I don't qualify for any grants, only a very small loan, which not will help at all. I don't want to stay at Mount Holyoke, I got into the College of William and Mary (which I can afford), and I haven't heard back from Cornell. I really wanted to go to Tufts. I'm depressed, have finals, have to worry about storing my stuff (I live in Southern CA, and I don't know where I'm going next year), and don't know what I'm going to do now. I'm sorry that I'm being so whiny, but I'm very upset.</p>
<p>everything happens for a reason</p>
<p>keep your chin up</p>
<p>Aye santamaria,
Don't get too upset, thinking rationally isn't there anyway you can get together the money, via loans etc?
Is there really no way you can attend Tufts? No additional appeals you can do?</p>
<p>The grey link worked for me today!!! </p>
<p>but then it said in a letter that a decision hasn't been made for me. </p>
<p>WHAT?!</p>
<p>by the way, santamaria-- that really sucks :( </p>
<p>did the finaid respond to your appeal already? or is it just not looking good from here?</p>
<p>Finaid already responded to my appeal</p>
<p>red-- that's really frusterating</p>
<p>the link is still grey for me, i don't even know what i should think that means.</p>
