<p>When are RD decisions available? Will they be available on TAMS?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’ve heard they’re on TAMS around late afternoon on the 31st. I could be wrong though…</p>
<p>i’ve heard the same… eek :)</p>
<p>Are they mailed out on the 31st as well?</p>
<p>^ Probably.</p>
<p>I think last year they got it earlier. I could be mistaken, though.</p>
<p>Earlier? That would be awesome… I really just want to know whether I got into Tufts or not.</p>
<p>I thought they won’t put up the decision till april. 1st…if it’s really 31st 5pm. EST, I really need to handle a lot that afternoon…all the results are coming out that afternoon.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, decisions were online at @ 3 PM on March 31. This was also “Ivy Decision Day” and they posted at @ 5 PM. It was a lot to be prepared for and process all on the same day. I have often wondered if there is a strategy for Tufts decisions to be released on the same day as the ivies. Or is it just a matter of coinicidence? </p>
<p>Regardless, Good Luck to all! It will be over soon. And then the real fun/agonizing begins: choosing a college! But I will say that it will feel incredibly good to be in the drivers’ seat after all the waiting!!</p>
<p>^ i agree with you! i can’t wait to be over…</p>
<p>RE; Post #8. Sorry. I meant to say that it will feel good for YOU all to be “in the drivers seat,” once decisions are posted/mailed. My D is already at Tufts and I do remember the great feeling she had about finally being the one making the decision about her own future, as opposed to the Ad Coms.</p>
<p>I do not have a senior high school this year. I do, however, have a freshman son in high school, so there’s a little time before the process starts all over again! I can tell already it will be a different road…</p>
<p>This again? :-P</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>Does this mean the decisions are the 31st or the 1st?</p>
<p>Admissions Dan, any chance you could shed some light on this? We’ve waited over a week since you’re last comment. Any new information you could let us in on? We’re dying here!</p>
<p>No chance at all. </p>
<p>I appreciate the excitement/anxiety around decisions, but all this angst over the specific date/time of release isn’t healthy or helpful. Enjoy your senior years; don’t let admissions decisions become a defining features of last couple months of high school.</p>
<p>By the way, How many students Tufts is going to accept this year? I heard that the total number of applicants for this year is around 16000 and there had been about 12% rise in the Early decision 1 acceptances.</p>
<p>^^ Dan would be able to answer that Bob.</p>
<p>This topic below is very interesting. But one thing that puzzled me a little is why so little number of students are attending Tufts than any other schools on that category!!!</p>

<p>^ That chart is notorious throughout CC, and is often a tool used to disparage Tufts. Honestly, there are individual reasons for each college - one very important being financial aid and tuition costs. UCLA and UVA are in-state schools that are able to offer in-state tuition, and that’s just one example. Prestige (which is relative) is another… so is fit. </p>
<p>It doesn’t mean that there aren’t kids out there like me who are DYING to attend Tufts :p</p>
<p>^^ You telling me. I want to attend Tufts soo Bad but only thing that’s getting me worried is my horrible SAT score and also the number of qualified applicants at Tufts. I often regret why why I didn’t apply for ED1 or ED2.</p>
<p><em>**SIGH</em>*</p>
<p>does anyone know the date they will put them up online??</p>
