<p>Building a guitar?! I sincerely hope we both get in because I really want to meet you. I want to try a capella in college because I never got into it in high school (the groups at my schools are on the annoying side) but I’m interested in doing more singing.</p>
<p>Haha if we both get in and I meet you, I’ll make sure to bring my guitar! And you should definitely go for a cappella, it’s so much fun. I’m in an all girl’s group called the Treblemakers. I’m one of the two officers, the other one applied to Tufts too!</p>
<p>HAHA the Treblemakers=adorable name. Have you heard of the Maccabeats? They’re an a capella group from Yeshiva University and I love them more than life itself. [The</a> Maccabeats - Miracle - Matisyahu - Hanukkah - YouTube](<a href=“The Maccabeats - Miracle - Matisyahu - Hanukkah - YouTube”>The Maccabeats - Miracle - Matisyahu - Hanukkah - YouTube) The one with the pink background and glasses at about 20 seconds in is the love of my life. And the one with the orange background at 0:26 is my second choice.</p>
<p>…OH MY GOD THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING… this is why I love a cappella music! Tufts has SO MANY awesome groups, as I’m sure you know. If I get in i really want to go see the bubs <3</p>
<p>I KNOW I LOVE THE MACCABEATS. I play their cover of “One Day” before school every morning. See, I’ve tried not to love the Bubs because people at my school are obsessed (they’re like local celebrities since we live so close) but I have to admit I harbor a hidden obsession with them. They have an amazing “One Day” cover too! Clearly Matisyahu lends himself to a capella well<3 I’ve heard Tufts has an amazing scene for a capella and every other kind of music too (Guster!) so I’m so excited for that. ← oh god, keep forgetting decisions haven’t even come out yet. I keep thinking I’m going :(</p>

<p>HAHAHA my parents just totally judged me for blasting the Pokemon theme song at full volume, no shame. And exactly the same feeling here; I’m sure I’ll be okay wherever I go, but I just feel like I’ll be so happy and comfortable at Tufts. Didn’t get even close to that feeling anywhere else :'(</p>
<p>Came across this video last night while my friend and I were arguing about our top colleges (he’s obsessed with USC) [Tufts</a> Candle Lighting Ceremony Class of 2015 - YouTube](<a href=“Tufts Candle Lighting Ceremony Class of 2015 - YouTube”>Tufts Candle Lighting Ceremony Class of 2015 - YouTube) and it just has everything I love about Tufts. Music, Matisyahu, community, quirkiness… man, I’m gonna be heartbroken if this doesn’t work out.</p>
<p>The pokemon theme song should always be blasted full volume no shame 
And I agree, I’m basically gonna have a breakdown when I get rejected. Its going to be quite sad :(</p>
<p>Yep 
I’m starting to think even my aquarium-duck boats plan won’t be enough to cheer me up. All I can say is thank god we’re getting the decisions back on the early side. If I had to get it at the same time as my RDs and I got rejected I’d be way too upset to think about any of my acceptances. At least this way I’ll have time to get over it… or at least I think I will… :’(</p>
<p>I understand completely. I’ll probably just go into a funk for a couple of weeks. It’s my defense mechanism. I keep trying to get excited about my other schools, and it’s not working. I mean, I know I’ll be happy going there but everytime I think about my future I think about Tufts.</p>
<p>My exact state of mind. My funk will involve lots of bad music (cough JB), many episodes of Law & Order: SVU, and an exorbitant amount of chocolate ice cream. I wish our dream school wasn’t one of the most competitive in the country :(</p>
<p>I know! I go on tours of Uconn, and WPI, and all the other schools I applied to and just think " WHY couldn’t I have fallen in love with this school? I can get into this school!" My funk will involve me yelling “I’m FINE” to anyone who asks and making an exorbitant amount of baked goods. And also I’ll probably re read all of my favorite books. And listen to sad music.</p>
<p>Same! I look at schools on my list–Brandeis in particular–that are great chools that I have a solid chance at and try to bully myself into loving them. I can get excited for a while, but then I remember Tufts and it goes downhill from there. Hahaha ditto on “I’M FINE!” I get SO snappy when I’m upset about something, so I think people will have to avoid me for a bit if I get rejected.
But, on a happier note, if I get accepted I will be the happiest person alive. I swear, I am going to run around screaming for a few minutes and then call every single person in my phone’s contacts.</p>
<p>This is quite embarrassing but every time I imagine getting accepted into Tufts I get a little teary. It’s surprising because I don’t really cry a lot but I’m totally gonna cry if I get in.</p>
<p>OK… I’m so glad I’m not the only one. This is coming from someone who didn’t even cry at Hotel Rwanda. I’m so embarrassed too, but when I just seriously think about seeing the “Congratulations!” when I open TAMS and then getting ready for 4 years there…</p>
<p>I didn’t cry at Hotel Rwanda either! but Tufts has the power to induce my tears… PLEASE TUFTS PLEASE! I sometimes watch clips of the bubs and sing along when I’m home alone… I have realized that my obsession with Tufts has reached pathetic level 439932 but I don’t care! It will be worth it if that “congratulations” comes.</p>
<p>ME TOO!!! I’m so glad I’m not alone on pathetic level 439932 hahahaha. Although I may have made level 439933 because sometimes I sit in Davis Square or the Tufts Quad with my sweatshirt on and pretend I’m already a student. Literally rock bottom, but I agree, all worth it if we get accepted :)</p>
<p>I have an athlete AND a double legacy from my school, so there’s basically no chance for me. But yet I spend my time googling random things about Tufts. [Paint</a> the Cannon by the Tufts Fund](<a href=“http://paintthecannon.com/]Paint”>http://paintthecannon.com/) <–Best Tufts obsession find EVER!</p>
<p>AHHH THIS IS SO COOL! Well, I ought to be able to kill some time with this, hahaha. Currently painting it with “ACCEPT ME.” See my school usually has about ~10 kids get in a year, but a bunch of AMAZING candidates did EDII so I have no shot :(</p>
<p>My friend got rejected ED and he and I have a plan that if I get rejected EDII we’re going to do Occupy Tufts. We’re going to paint the cannon “RECONSIDER ADMISSIONS DECISIONS” and then chill in a tent. Sad thing is I think we’re both seriously considering this.</p>
<p>I made like ten different ACCEPT ME designs haha. Well it’s dinnertime, I have to go, quality chat! hope we both get in!</p>
