<p>diana2012, You can’t change your destiny (unless you win a new award or discover a new species) and your admission results. The same thing is going to happen whether you worry or don’t worry, be happy or be sad. While it’s natural to be anxious, try to put college on the back burner and focus on living in the moment, getting good grades, enjoying your last year at home! It sounds impossible, but you’ll be so much happier. Trust me, this is now my second time going through the college process. I decided to stop fretting and start making art and I’ve been having a good time channeling my anxieties into drawings and pictures!</p>
<p>@Laura: HAHAHAHA oh my god I think we might be, and +10000 for the Fight Club Reference. Hopefully our similarities mean we’re equally well suited to Tufts and will both be Jumbos '16? (See my desperate optimism? SEE IT?!) I hope your midterm exams went well, by the way!</p>
<p>@chili: thanks 
I know you’re right, so I’m trying to distract myself as much as I can with mixed results. It’s definitely out of my hands at this point, so there really isn’t any use in worrying. You said this is your 2nd time with admissions, are you applying to Tufts as a transfer?</p>
<p>Haha @Diana- I can see it now. We both get into Tufts, get excited on collegeconfidential, then next year we both move in, and our roomate seems kind of…familiar. All of a sudden one of us makes a collegeconfidential reference and we both realize who the other is. Cue epic slow motion high five.
And @chili- I know my behavior is irrational, I really need to stop obsessing but I can’t. I’m a bit of a worrywart.</p>
<p>2nd time as in I applied last year, didn’t get the results I wanted/felt I deserve given how hard I’d always tried, so I took a year off, did some self-searching, figured out what I wanted etc…, did a few serious science research programs/am now writing a children’s science book, and reapplied with better numbers, clearer goals, and the failure of last year as an important insight into the application process. I’ve grown up a ton and at first the idea of a surprise gap year seemed horrible but it’s been the greatest thing I’ve ever done! So I’ve been in college-related limbo for like two years now so the waiting is KILLING me too (and I’m totally a worrywort), but I am just coming up with lots of projects and studying and reading a ton to distract myself and stay happy.</p>
<p>It’s being announced on Tufts Admission website, decision for ED2 will be out on Feb 15th.
The only thing I keep doing to distract myself now is watching all Tufts-related videos on YouTube.
By the way, what’s your favorite Tufts optional supp video this year?</p>
<p>@Laura- HAHAAHA that would be absolutely amazing! I’m just going to try to hold onto that image during the next two weeks of hell (aka waiting)</p>
<p>@hpdaking-- OMG IS THAT TRUE??? i’m at school right now, checking the tufts website as i type this… friends are asking why i’m freaking out haha. argh are you sure it’s on the tufts site? i’m on this page but it doesn’t seem to be showing anything beyond “early february” >.< [Application</a> Deadlines & Important Dates Tufts University Admissions Department](<a href=“http://admissions.tufts.edu/apply/application-deadlines/]Application”>http://admissions.tufts.edu/apply/application-deadlines/)</p>
<p>[Tufts</a> University Admissions Department](<a href=“http://admissions.tufts.edu/]Tufts”>http://admissions.tufts.edu/)
Halfway down on the right it says “important dates” then under that it says “Feb 15- Early Decision II Notification”</p>
<p>Hey, so quick question for anyone out there that might be able to help. I just tried to get onto my TAMS page, and it won’t except my login. I’ve tried about ten times now, I’m know I typing the correct information in but it won’t let me into my TAMS page. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?</p>
<p>Hey guys, is ED 2 just accepted or rejected or can you get deferred into regular admission?</p>
<p>@skyler- It’s working for me, but it’s been like an hour and a half since you posted
@squidI think you can get deferred… I’m not sure if i could handle the stress though.
And to both- welcome to the forum for Tufts-obsessed EDII applicants. What’s your intended major and why do you love Tufts?</p>
<p>@Laura–thanks. So that’s D-Day then, I guess 
Do you know if they go up at midnight on the 15th? I’m gonna start checking like a maniac on the 13th but I’m trying to figure out when it’s likely they’ll actually be up. From what I’ve heard, colleges often post a little earlier than they say they will so that the website won’t crash on the 15th. But if they aren’t up by 12:00 AM on the 15th I just know it’s gonna be an all nighter :(</p>
<p>@squid-- yep, you can get deferred. Realizing that was one of the most horrifying moments of my life. I guess better than a reject? Although considering the kids from my school applying RD, it might as well be a rejection :/</p>
<p>Last time for ED1, I remember the decision was out at around 1 P.M Dec 14th because Dan was tweeting on Twitter at that time and my friends who applied ED1 already jumped up and down when I came home at 4.
@diana: No need to stay awake for the whole night, they won’t do that to us, I mean, keep us awake all night for the decision. I’m literally going crazy right now and probably going to stay this way until then. Still, don’t put more pressure on yourself. I’m trying to learn to take things easy. Go outside and do a lot of things that will make you feel like time run by real fast. As of now, I’m heading to my bed to take a nap in order to save myself from this paranoid.</p>
<p>Thanks HP and good call on not staying up all night… I’m sincerely hoping they get released, like you said, around 1-ish on the 14th. If they’re not up by midnight the 15th I just won’t be able to sleep, even if I try to My worst fear is TAMS crashing like crazy. </p>
<p>Ah, you’re right, trying to take pressure off/do fun and distracting things but I think I’m irrevocably in meltdown mode right now. Can’t think of anything other than sitting in front of TAMS pressing refresh. What is my life…</p>
<p>It’s still not working! I’m getting a little worried now. I’ve even tried clicking on the “Have you forgotten your username or password?” link. It takes me to a page where I enter in my email address and click send. It then says an email has been sent to my address, but nothing ever shows up. Is anyone else having this problem?</p>
<p>@skyler, email admissions. did you get that first email after submitting your common app? (the one with the subject “Your Application to Tufts University via the Common Application has been received”)</p>
<p>@diana2012 - I did receive that email and my TAMS account has been working fine, until this afternoon that is. It won’t let me login at all, I just tried again. I think I’m going to have to email admissions tomorrow and let them know what is going on. I really want to go to Tufts, nowhere else interests me at all compared to Tufts, and I’m not sure if I should be taking this as a bad omen or not, I’m probably just being silly though.</p>
<p>Hi! Coming in kind of late to this thread…quick summary: Applying EDII to Tufts! I’m currently on my gap year and in Viet Nam right now…there are a ton of reasons why I wish to become part of Tufts community, but basically I just get bursts of happiness whenever I read the blog or when I’m researching the school, etc. I also applied to Williams, Amherst, Kenyon and the U of M. I want to go into pre-med studies so I can do Doctors without Borders! I’m also hoping to minor in English because I really love writing. And maybe do some music on the side? </p>
<p>@skyler2: I hope it works out…! I run into those problems frequently and it’s surprising I still have a great deal of hair on my head. What you did is good, emailing the account support staff and they’ll probably fix it before Feb. 15th. </p>
<p>AHHHHH. I try and tell myself I’m not worried, but I really am freaking out.</p>
<p>Hi, so I’ve emailed admissions about my TAMS account and I guess that’s all I can do for now. It still won’t let me log in. </p>
<p>But anyway, I never got the chance to fully introduce myself, so here it goes! I applied to Tufts ED2. I’ve known I wanted to go to Tufts since 9th or 10th grade, I can’t quite remember which year it was anymore, my life has been so immersed in all that is Tufts ever since that decision. I applied to other schools regular decision, but Tufts is where I want to be, I really can’t picture myself anywhere else. I’m going to be so upset if (and probably when) I don’t get in.</p>
<p>I want to be a veterinarian, probably an avian one, but small animal medicine ie: rabbits, ferrets, etc have started to grow on me since I got my own rabbit. I do know that I also want to go to Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University for graduate school. It is such a wonderful Veterinary Medicine school, it is the best in my opinion! </p>
<p>I have no idea what I want to major in yet. But basically as long as I fill all of the vet school class requirements I can major in anything I want to. I love English and Literature, but Psychology also interests me as well, and I’m really liking the sound of the Interdisciplinary Studies major!</p>
<p>Have I said too much? Sorry for the rather long and rambling summary! Anyone else out there also want to be a vet? I’d love to hear about any veterinarian or animal related volunteer or work experiences you have had!</p>
<p>Ahhh actually I’m more excited rather than worried for the decision release? Is that normal? I’m looking through the supplement videos that people did (did anyone here do one?) and I came across this: [Help</a> us find the rest of #Tufts2016 - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube) which is just totally awesome (a phrase I say often due to a Very Potter Musical). Also on a completely other note…I’ve been thinking a lot of the Myers-Briggs/ Keirsey personality tests lately. I took one last year for my philosophy class and I’m just really reading through everything about my type (ENFP/ INFP…Champion/ Healer!) and was wondering if anyone has taken one…</p>
