Tufts University Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

30th

Rejected from Northwestern last night. Hoping Tufts brings better news

when are decisions supposed to come out?

@monk123 March 30th.

These are gonna be the slowest two weeks in history.

is the march 30th decision date confirmed or just speculation?

An educated guess for the most part!

Anyone know how heavily Tufts weighs their supplements? More than the common app essay?

As an accepted ED 2 applicant, I went to their “Who gets in and why” session last fall and they straight out said that they weigh their supplements MORE than the common app essay because the common app essay is usually over-edited and not specific to conveying how much you are interested in Tufts. Gl guys :slight_smile:

@Bjklw2a That’s good! I really liked my Tufts essay. That one and the UChicago prompts were my favorites to write.

Idk if this was asked already or not but how hard is it to get in RD after ED1/ED2 rounds?

I would love to know that too! I was deferred from ED2… I know this is a little weird but I have a cute plan to tell my mom on the off chance I get in. Her b-day is march 31 so I told her the decisions came out April 1st so that if they really come out on the 30th I can drive to tufts and get her a “Tufts Mom” shirt and give it to her on her birthday. Does anyone think this is too cheesy??? I mean I couldn’t even get into BU so this most likely will not happen but its nice to think about doing :smiley:

@kwnstandina I’m a mom and I would LOVE that gift!

Haha! Ok good!!! @jillpnk lets just hope I can pull it off!!

Mom too - great idea!!! Nothing is too cheesy when child thinks of her/his mom!

I am super excited she’s never really done all this college stuff before and I really think it would make her very excited. She just wants to see me go there because she knows how much I like it there and she could tell it was a good fit, which was cool for her to say because this is all new to her.

@kwnstandina honestly really hoping you get in so you can give her that gift because that’s so cute

Awe thanks @shooting4stars I just hope I’ll be able to keep my mouth shut about it for 24 hours

@kwnstandina That’s such a cute idea wow I hope you get in!

Does anybody know what time the decisions will be released? and will it be through email or on the application portal? Thanks :slight_smile:
