<p>Those of us who are going to Tufts... we sent in our confirmation of acceptance to Tufts.... now what? Are we supposed to receive something in the mail now?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was wondering this too. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Yeah I called to see if they received my deposit. The lady said you should get something in June.</p>
<p>sounds good. yeah i wanna check if they got my deposit too... i'm a little edgy over the reliability of the US postal service</p>
<p>I applied ED, so I got the stuff a while ago, but they sent a letter of confirmation and sporadically I've been receiving mailings from them. Most of the mailings say that more mailings will be coming late May/early June.</p>
<p>damn... i never got a letter of confirmation for my deposit.. (I apllied ED II) I did however get some "are you ready" thing.... what else did you get mjones?... i am still yet to recieve my I-20 form... not sure what is going on...</p>
<p>I never got a receipt for my app (ED II), my acceptance letter, nor my deposit confirmation. I love international mail. :(</p>
<p>But I did email admissions a lot and they sent me the Word documents of my acceptance letter and deposit confirmation. No Tufts seal on them so I don't know if people will take them seriously, but it's better than nothing. Keeping a copy of a bank statement (with the deposit listed) on hand would probably help.</p>
<p>As for I-20 issues, I explained to the Int'l Center that I needed to apply early for an appointment at the US Embassy in my country (students get priority but the waiting list is miles long) so they DHL-ed the form to me awhile back. They're probably still processing yours but just contact them to make sure.</p>
<p>thanks a lot Twilight and Shadow, that was very helpful. I'll give them a call.... which country are you from by the way?</p>
<p>Two days ago, I got a letter confirming my enrollment along with a letter explaining what other mail we will be receiving soon (most of it in June) and a calendar of due dates in the summer and fall/spring activity/vacation dates.</p>
<p>Wah. I didn't get that second letter / calendar. What were the things listed? I just know we're supposed to get health forms soon. Other than that... I know ZIP-a-dee-doo-dah. </p>
<p>I'm especially worried about when we're supposed to pay the tuition bill (will they send us the bill? anyone know?).</p>
<p>Early-mid August-tuition bill</p>
<p>oooh goodie, im gettin all my stuff now. the health form just came in too</p>
<p>Hrm I'm still waiting for that health form. Hopefully it'll arrive this week. </p>
<p>I think they also have it on the health services page (which is finally up again!). I'm pretty sure the online forms are for this year - some of them are headed with "fall 2005" and acknowledge our recent acceptances.</p>
<p>Oh btw, anyone know if we're supposed to get just ONE I-20 form? When my brother applied for a visa a few years back (this was pre-SEVIS) he got two copies (one for the embassy and one student copy). I'm guessing with SEVIS and the whole barcode thing the process is different now... but anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>I think you only get one copy... all my friends have only got a single copy of their I-20's... So i am pretty sure about it</p>
<p>I also got my health form a few days ago. Nothing else. I'm anxious for when they'll start up the Tufts2009 Discussion Forums. Please keep me posted if you see a link to it on the admitted students site because they're pretty cool (at least last year's were).</p>
<p>Tufts sends stuff out later than other schools do...no worries, you'll get everything.</p>
<p>I'd just like take this moment of time to say that I am so excited about going to Tufts. Even if the late/missing mail issues are worrying. :)</p>
<p>Sorry, I must be high on iced tea. :p</p>
<p>right with you twlight and shadow... except the fact that I am not high on iced tea. lol</p>
<p>Hey twilight and shadow:</p>
<p>i called the international center and explained that I needed my I-20 form earlier... they however said that it would be very difficult for them to send it any earlier than two weeks. I then went on trying to convince them that my country has waiting lists... but they said that it was the best that they could do... i guess you got lucky getting ur I-20 early..., although the rude lady on the phone didn't help my matter too much...hahaha.</p>
<p>Hey Rage666, sorry to hear about that and the rude lady. This is why I prefer to email Tufts (or most people for that matter) - I know they're stressed out and I can't handle frustrated people on the phone. :p </p>
<p>Anyway, yeah I guess you'll just have to wait two weeks. Don't worry, the US Embassy guy who gave a talk at my school said that students are given priority since they're working within a time frame.</p>
