<p>so i posted this somewhere else, but oh well....</p>
<p>ok this might sound really stupid, but do everyone think its wayyyy too late to write a letter/send my transcript to tufts telling them i want to get off the waitlist? basically, i thought i had no chance and that it wasn't worth it but now i am SERIOUSLY second guessing myself. unless its completely ridiculous i want to send that stuff in this week; the lateness will prob negatively affect me anyway... but is it worth a shot? i can send them everything by wed, at the latest, and i can probably call to bug them too... ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!</p>
<p>(also, i live in the boston area so they would receive my material very quickly)</p>
<p>last year i think they didnt use the waitlist- send it just in case thou</p>
<p>well... so far i have friends who have gotten into wake forest, GW, bucknell, and pomona off waitlists. i think b/c so many ppl applied to so many schools this year, the waitlist might actually be used. who knows, but yea, i guess theres no harm in sending it all in.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Just go for it; do everything you can to convince them that you belong at Tufts and that you really want to go to Tufts. Good luck!</p>
<p>for the thousandth time, waitlist wasn't used last year b/c there were TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE CLASS OF 09 TO BEGIN WITH. They barely had room for us to live as it is, WHY take in more people?</p>
<p>Worth a shot; send it in, hope it goes well.</p>
<p>This year I think they'll have less of a problem with over-enrollment than they did last year. This is not based on any professional experience or anything...but at Open House this year the weather was really dreary, wet, and cold. I think that bodes well for waitlisters?</p>
<p>hahah. I think it bodes even better than that - think about it. Right now we have barely any room on campus. Everyone has been asked to live in special interest houses. I bet that Tufts will def. UNDER-accept, b/c they can't afford to accept too many people and have them all matriculate. If not enough enroll, they'll add more people to the class from the waitlist until it's full.</p>
