The committee's meeting today to decide on the late Nov - early Dec interviews....

They said we'd find out the result in like January right?

 

[CyrilFiggis]

They said we'd find out the result in like January right?

Yeah... but they said that last year too and calls went out from Dean Neumeyer the week of Christmas. So it could be Tuesday or January. Regardless, it's time to start taking some Valium.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but if the committee met today, wouldn't we hear back tmrw (Friday)? Regardless, best of luck everyone!! 🙂

Does tufts send out pre II rejections?

Yes they do

 

[NeverStressedAlwaysHappy]

Yes they do

What's funny is that actually give me more anxiety because now I can't assume I got a silent rejection

Opinion question... I'm a resident of Maine (school in MA) and applying for the regular track, not Maine track at Tufts... does that seem incongruous? I'm just not sure I want to move back home for a while...

If you have the extra bucks I'd do it to increase your chances. Better to go back to Maine than to not go anywhere.

 

[dogsarecute]

Accepted to the Maine Track just now!!!!! Dream come true. This is my top choice program. Best Christmas gift ever!!

 

[Patient_Centered_Empathy]

To those accepted, does your portal get updated as well? (And much congratulations to yall!)

Do most Tufts students have cars? Can you manage without one?

I think on the tour they said it's more necessary for third and fourth year since you'll have some away rotations but first two years you can get by using the bus system

Congratulations!! Are you from the east coast by chance getting so nervous over here. I interviewed December 10th and still haven't heard anything (I'm from California).

Thanks! Not originally, but currently living in Boston so maybe that helped?

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

There are 15 interview days that still have openings, and the last day is March 15th.
I think there were about 25 to 30 people on my interview day, so that leaves quite a lot of open spots for 2016 IIs 🙂

 

[maineiac23]

Just got the acceptance call this morning!!! Super excited, definitely my top choice so far. Interviewed 11/24

 

[NeverStressedAlwaysHappy]

I wish they'd just get to either interviewing or rejecting me already. All this false hope is ****ing killer

Maine track?

 

[maineiac23]

This one was actually for the regular Boston program! I haven't had my interview yet for the Maine track

 

[CyrilFiggis]

Accepted! Re-applicant. So excited. Got the call at 5:45am while on my honeymoon in Hawaii.

To everyone still waiting on a II, keep you spirits up. I know the struggle but can certainly say the payoff is there.

Thank you!! 🙂 I interviewed 12/10 also. This is my first acceptance to any school so definitely exciting!

 

[#nocreativeability]

Ugh I feel like one of my interviews went really well and the other one was just terrible, I wonder if they'll balance out favorably.

I felt the same and got in. So it's definitely possible 🙂

 

[Me.D.]

Hoping for some good news later on!

[PattiePie]

[#nocreativeability]

When I emailed the admissions office some questions recently after my acceptance they told me that they don't oversee a FB page. Do you know of one that's been set up?
