Also got the deferred email today :/ Was really hoping to get an acceptance here since it's my first choice. Anyone have some acceptance statistics for those of us in the deferred boat?

Based on last years thread, either means waitlist or rejection. Most decisions coming around trafficking time.

I debated posting this at all, but I decided that false hope is the greater of two evils. I have it on extremely good authority that the Tufts adcom has had a "higher yield" of interviewed applicants this year, and that deferement is for all intents and purposes a tacit rejection. This source expressed doubts that, given the current pace of things, that they'll draw from the deferrement pool in any significant way. I'm as dejected as you are.

I'd like to stay optimistic throughout this process. Who knows, maybe those updates kept you out of the two or three mass pre-interview rejections. I sent them a couple of updates throughout the year too, so I choose to believe that for myself lol.

Thanks for sharing this! I don't know if it came up, but do you know if this applies to both the Regular & Maine tracks or merely the Regular track? Thanks!

As far as I know it's all tracks, all applicants to the med school, although I only asked about traditional MD. I assume there are fewer applicants to the Maine track and that things are different, but I'm speculating.
 
Withdrew my acceptance today. Good luck to all of you waiting.

What do you mean "higher yield"? Looking back at this whole thread, I don't see a single waitlist (granted I don't see any rejections either). I'd like remain as optimistic as possible. Also if you want to PM me, who is your source?

Guessing they mean that more people that tufts accepted are saying yes and staying that way.

I assumed that, but it's still two months out from trafficking and many haven't received fin aid. Color me skeptical, but I'm not ready to believe anonymous good authority.

I'm still hoping for II from them so... Yeah.

I still haven't received the boot. I wish I had enough to send them for an update letter. Seems worthless at this point. I'd love to stay in town here...

Saving the best for last :) I hope lol. I survived each round of pre-II rejections and I am asking the same question.

Has happened to me at so many schools. Being the last to be rejected isn't much consolation... :(

I know someone has probably mentioned this somewhere in this thread, but this seems like a very harsh application year. Every school I've interviewed at has said that they have an almost unprecedented number of applicants.

If what @The Tower said about a deferred decision is true, then I will be immensely sad. I really like the school. Each rejection round I make it through gives me more hope, though.

has there been any rejections post interview? or has it all been accept/deferred?

I think so, but don't quote me on it. "Deferred" is way too nebulous for my liking. Whenever someone reports getting rejected, I cringe a little for their sake and mine.

I have to think that anything can fly. They've rejected folks pre-ii which is new for them. If no one has been rejected or wait-listed yet, I can't see "deferred" as a flat rejection for all. The school is expensive and I know folks who have been accepted here and other schools, not everyone is going to end up here.

Tbh I have been hearing this since my freshman year. It's kind of true. We were shocked when the average mcat for acceptance at my undergrad was 30, which seemed impossible as a freshman. Now it's just above 32.
 
Hey Tufts,

I wanted to thank you for keeping me around this long. I know it's getting late and you may have already moved on from me, but I wanted to let you know that I'm still here. Say the word and I'll be ready to show up at our date whenever you will have me. All I ask for is a chance!

Best,
srirachaking

P.S: Your friendly neighborhood Mellow Yellow would love to be a third wheel.
 
PSA: according to the portal there's one day left (26th) and unclear how many spots are available on that day
 
Ah, finally rejected pre-interview. I had kept my hat in the ring to see what would happen as I was waitlisted last year, but I am not surprised.

Hey, everyone. Sorry to hear about the rejections. If you don't mind me asking, has anyone been rejected post-interview?
 
Rejected pre interview as well, FINALLY. Honestly laughed when I got the email. "Thanks guys! And same to you!"

Perfect, I was planning on having it completed this week. Thanks.
