What does Tufts look for??

<p>Hi!!!
I am a prospective transfer applicant and I am totally into Tufts. I am curious about the kind of students Tufts looks for?? Who gets into Tufts??</p>

<p>Solid academic performers, obviously, but beyond that they look for an international, service-oriented outlook, idealism, passion, a desire to apply what you learn to improve the broader world. Active citizenship, global citizenship, and civic engagement are all big buzzwords here.</p>

<p>Well Tufts sounds so… right. All my essays are about one or the other of what you said :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
Do you have any idea what percentage of transfer applicants are internationals??</p>

<p>Not off the top of my head, but the internet might know. If it doesn’t, Dan@Admiss could probably shed some light on that.</p>

<p>Hmmm. I will have to check up on Tufts further in. Can you tell me the name of the website again. Tuftslife??</p>

<p>tuftslife.com is a sort of student-services oriented site, tufts.edu is the school’s official site. You could also just email the admissions office.</p>

@Snarf are you yourself a tufts’ student?

@Snarf forgive me if I sound stupid, I barely found this site and made an account. I want to find more about insights of tufts as well as college life.

I suggest you start a new thread. This one is 5 1/2 years old.
