hahah I believe I interviewed with you - I recall you or noodak posted your interview date. Are you going to only apply to Tufts next cycle if you have to apply again?
Oh never mind, I interviewed later! I see. Well at least you have plenty of time to relax before the grind starts!!
This happens fairly often. It's an art and a science for adcoms to offer just the right number of seats and predict their yield. Last year UConn offered too few seats and only ended up with 42 people, when they wanted a few more. This year they ended up with 51, and the max capacity is 52 (I think) given our new pre-clin lab. Stuff like this happens unfortunately.
They're probably waiting until after the April 15 deposit deadline. This next question is for anyone: so does the order go waitlist-->deferred acceptance-->acceptance? Currently I'm on the regular waitlist but I want to start this year. Would I be offered a deferred acceptance before a regular acceptance? Thanks!
Thanks for your insight!
Thanks for the update!
I was told there are a little less than 50 people on the waitlist, and in previous years they have accepted up to 25 people off of the waitlist. I wouldn't consider that to be a long waitlist compared to other schools who have at least 100
is this for both the priority wait list and regular combined or just the regular waitlist?
When I called the admissions this morning they did not differentiate between a priority waitlist and a regular waitlist, they just spoke about their waitlisted applicants as a whole.
yeah people on the regular wait list do not pay any deposits or fees.this is a stupid and probably a redundant question but people on the regular waitlist do not have to pay any deposit fees, correct? (unless admitted for 2020/deferred for 2021). sorry i keep posting on this thread like almost everyday and annoying people, i'm just super anxious and tired of people in my family thinking I'm not good enough for dental school

)Don't ever let people make you feel that way especially your family! They don't even know how hard it is to get in. Tufts is one of the hardest schools to get into with their low acceptance rate so getting a waitlist spot here is a big accomplishment. Are you Asian btw? Lol..this all sounds too familiar to me (I'm Asian too)

email or phone call?
ahhh really hoping i can get off the deferred list asap!!!
I think they gave me your spot lol ! I got a deferred acceptance!
so i just called tufts and Danielle said that they contacted the people who had multiple deposits (good to know that they were some people that did this so its possible more seats will open up) and they have 15 days to pick so there should be more movement once this happens combined with the second deposit on the 15th. i have hope!!
