No update email...not good...must start improving my poledancing skillz.

Yes, improving...yes, I'm a dude.

I don't believe that these e-mails correlate with the nature of the news they are giving you. I believe everyone that interviews eventually receives one? Then again, I could be wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it. I didn't receive any kind of update email before I got the acceptance call. They might not send one to Maine Track people for some reason?

 

[Maineac]

Yeah I'm a Maine Tracker too and I didn't get any update email before my acceptance call either.

 

[0919mmk]

Oh ok, thanks guys. Yeah, I'm a Maine tracker, so apparently its not a "pre-acceptance" email. Phew!

 

[SBAKSHI]

No calls, huh? Oh well, Tomorrow cant get here soon enough!

 

[doctorSOX]

Accepted! Just got the call! Good Luck!!

 

[catiness]

Accepted! Just got the call! Good Luck!!

congrats! when did you interview?

 

[doctorSOX]

Thanks! Late October

 

[Nibbly]

Cool. So from past history, does that suggest good news or just news?

They claimed during my interview that everyone gets this email, and that it doesn't have any meaning as to whether they're going to accept you or not.

 

[hurricane123]

just the one known call so far? getting nervous..

 

[sourpatch]

I got the acceptance call too this morning! Interviewed 11/17. Good luck everyone!!

 

[revasquez]

Do they send an email regarding acceptance before/after they call?

Still hoping for a call!

Congrats to those accepted!!

 

[hurricane123]

do we know if they call in any particular order (like interview day)? and the calls usually span a couple of days, right?

The call comes first. Dean Neumeyer mentioned in the call that the e-mail/packet would come later on. I think the calls do span a few days based on the previous month's acceptances. Good luck!

 

[lizzydarcy]

Just interviewed at Tufts and I absolutely love the school, program, students, everything 😀 I'm also now interested in their combined degree program for MD/MPH. I know that the application is still open but anyone know how competitive it is?

 

[Matteo]

No need to fret yet! I interviewed very early in the month, but was called on the last day of acceptance calls last time - so there isn't much rhyme or reason to when you will hear within the span.

 

[0919mmk]

Woot accepted! And never got that confirming contact info email either. I'm 93% sure that I'm going to end up going here.

(searches for TUSM c/o 2016 Facebook group...fails to find one...scratches head...)

 

[revasquez]

Just received the loveliest phone message- I'm accepted!!!

Congratulations to everyone!! I'm so excited for all of our futures- we're going to be doctors!!



Good luck to all!

 

[latony]

Nothing dude - keep your head up and your dukes up! Don't stop fighting till you get in somewhere. If this is what you want, it will happen.

 

[latony]

I just got the acceptance email (I got the call yesterday). 😀 Yay, Tufts!!!

 

[mcspbr]

Got a "after a thorough review subsequent to your interviews, the medical school Admissions Committee has deferred making a final decision on your application"

Meh.

 

[alpinebrook]

Anyone have any idea how many spots there might be left for the Maine Track Program? I'm interviewing the beginning of Feb. I'm guessing there's like, one spot left 🙁 😕

 

[SBAKSHI]

Got the deferred admission..idk what to do now..lets hope they look good upon me..i m running gout of time and options

 

[kexy]

Congratulations everyone who got accepted! I just interviewed here this week and totally fell in love with the school. It is by far my top choice out of all the places I've interviewed. I 😍 you Tufts!

I have no idea how many spots are left, but I think you can rest assured that if they are offering you an interview, you have as good a shot as any interviewee to be accepted. Having said that, you are probably more likely, all other things being equal, to be waitlisted if you interview so late, but if that happens, you still have a fair shot at getting in. I'll bet you half the 2016 Maine track class will have gotten in off the waitlist.

That's good to know! Thanks!

 

[MCATBUSTER]

Do we need to update them with fall 2011 grades?

 

[frezz219]

Has anyone with an institutional action been invited for an interview at tufts?

 

[0919mmk]

Do we need to update them with fall 2011 grades?

Not really, but if they're good, then obviously it's in your interest to update them.

 

[likeitwas1989]

For all of you still awaiting an invite to interview, don't give up hope! I just got mine this morning for 2/9 and I wasn't complete until mid-November. I'm OOS with a 3.5 gpa and 33R MCAT.

Any tips from those who have already interviewed? Thanks in advance and good luck!

 

[GraMaire]

Ah. Congrats!

I'm stilllll hoping then haha 🙂

 

[chemistryguy]

Does anyone know if there anything that is really unique about Tuft's medical curriculum?

 

[Schrdngrs Ct]

Does Tufts not send out any hold or rejections pre-interview invite? Jw since I've been complete since 8/4 and I don't consider myself a very competitive candidate here with a VR=8.

 

[kononobunaga]

They were one of the schools to begin pioneering the PBL curriculum way back in 1986.

Ok... I'm confused... I got a Tufts financial aid application in the mail today, with no letter explaining whether I was accepted or not. I interviewed 12/8, and haven't received any calls/e-mails... Do they send the financial aid application out to everyone??

Yep. At least everyone that had an interview I think.

 

[annabanana1690]

Anyone interviewing 1/17? I am and am so excited!

 

[stay gold]

Why? Why Tufts, why? Biggest tease everrrrr

 

[0919mmk]

Why? Why Tufts, why? Biggest tease everrrrr

I know. I got waitlisted here 2 years ago, then got that thing, and I didn't even have the heart to fill it out. (Un)fortunately I didn't get in off the waitlist anyway. But everyone should fill it out so that you have the best chance at getting some aid if you get in later or off the waitlist!

 

[kexy]

My parents intercepted the big envelope and were SO excited for me... until I had to explain that acceptances don't come from the financial aid office haha 🙁

 

[stay gold]

Does everyone who gets accepted receive a call, or does it depend on the interviewer that you had?

I believe that the dean calls all the accepts personally.

 

[SnowballMaker]

Anyone interviewing tomm? I'm on a bus to Boston!!

 

[johnnytheman]

Does anyone know when each committee meeting takes place?

 

[stay gold]

Will those who interviewed in December hear back in mid-January, or will there be a delay due to the holiday? Thanks guys.

Hi! I recently got into both Tufts and UMass and it seems most people end up choosing UMass over Tufts (because of the money). I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and chose Tufts over UMass. Basically, money and location aside, which school is a better choice?
