Complete mid-September, same here. Maybe it's just a temporary glitch? Tufts should know better than to play these games with a bunch of neurotic, perpetually status-checking premeds :scared:
 
I was complete 8/27 and my status also just changed...my guess is it is a bad sign and I am expecting a rejection.
 
My "under screening" status disappeared a while ago, and I've been complete since 9/4. No idea what it means, but I sort of took it to mean a silent rejection too (like a neurotic pre-med)-- 🙁
 
The silence from this school is deafening...I thought I had a decent shot, but I'm giving up.

There are times when I feel like an appropriate theme song to this application experience would be Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence".

Same for me.:scared:
 
wahhhhh my under-screening status went away today too...curiouser and curiouser
 
what status is this? mine has just been saying "your application is ready!" forever..
 
Mine says "Your application is ready!", complete 9/10. Is this the status the rest of you had before you were under screening?

Clearly the only sensible thing to do in this situation is to panic.
 
I want to say that it's not a certain bad sign for those whose statuses have been changed from the screening to "your application is ready!" I did the SMP at Tufts and know I will have an interview this cycle, although I haven't gotten the official invite from the admissions office or scheduled it yet. I was complete 10/12, saw the screening status, and now have "your application is ready!" too (although I don't know what date the status changed). So just a guess that that status isn't the end of hope for everyone! Good luck!
 
I just talked to the admissions and they said that the "under screening" status means that the application is in an initial screening. After that status is removed they said it means that the application has moved on to another committee, "committee of doctors" to be screened for an interview invite.

So it's a good thing when it goes away?

Thanks for sharing!

I mean, I would assume so....I haven't seen any rejections from this school yet so it seems too good to be true in a way

So does that mean we passed an initial cut, and we're now looking to make the interview invite cut basically?
 
Still seems weird that everyone's went away at the same time...

thats the impression that I got, but it seems like everyone on here made the cut....but I assume that SDN is a place for people who care about their apps thus work hard and get good scores and most likely all deserve to make this initial cut.

Did you guys see Tufts on the rejection thread? I noticed that someone had posted it, but it was never added to the cumulative list...

Maybs someone assumed an auto-reject when their "screening" status went away but others' remained?

I don't know if they mentioned this to you as well but at my interview day they said the MPH applications are rolling, so while you may not be considered for the MD/MPH until after you have an MD acceptance, it is still best to get the MPH application in early because the spots are limited and you might end up on a MD/MPH waitlist if you wait too long. Not sure when the MPH application actually becomes that competitive but the MPH director who spoke with us implied that getting them in before the new year was preferable.

I'll write and submit my MPH application once I get my II... (fingers crossed).
Until then, there's no point, since I have no idea whether or not I have a shot at this school.
OOS, 3.65 cGPA, 39Q. :/
I have this abiding horror that adcoms are gonna be like GPA =/= MCAT, GTFO. But that's probably me being neurotic.

I hope. 😀
 
Anyone had their status change from "under review" to "ready"?

Also, what does "under screening", "under review", "ready", and "complete" mean?

Would love to know if any of you who have had the status go from "complete" to "under screening" back to "complete" get an II.
Thanks.
 
Quick question: Is tufts MD/MBA program less competitive (i.e. easier to get into) then the regular MD program?

The going trend seems to be that you're not even considered for the dual program unless you've been accepted by the medicine portion.
 
This is a really dumb question, but how do you view your application status? If I log onto my secondary and click "Status" I get taken to a page that only shows me a list of things, the bottom of which reads "Secondary App Ready for Review Your application is ready!"

I think that *is* your status. Not very helpful, I know. I saw the "you are currently under screening process" on that same page for a while.

Huh, I have the "your app is ready!" status but I don't remember ever seeing the "under screening" status (and I've been checking like a neurotic premed, so take that as you will). Complete 9/23
 
Is it just me or do I feel like tufts hasn't handed out much interview invites yet? I don't see many IIs here and seems like most ppl are still waiting?

II today. My status did change from ready to screening back to ready and all that but i dont really think it means much. Just a system glitch.

What time did your invite come, if you don't mind my asking?

Also, what dates are currently available--anytime in the near future?
 
Kay, I know this is super-late, but I interviewed here on the 11th and I'm SOOOOOOOO hoping I get in! My best friend is in Boston, I've always wanted to go to the east for higher education, AND Tufts. Was. Great! :xf: :xf: :xf:!!!

Sorry for the delayed reply but yes it was md/phd so it might not be applicable but I was assuming the two programs are coordinated. Was complete 8/10 and invite email came at noon pacific time.
 
Regular MD interview invite just now! I was complete the same day I received and submitted the secondary on 8/10. My status had changed from "under review" back to "your application is ready" a while ago. So excited! 🙂
