Thanks!
Has anyone gotten a II here after sending an update?
I did!
What was your turnaround time?
Got the II about 6 weeks after submitting an update.
Thanks!!
II now! OOS
II as well!!! OOS Complete mid August!! So stoked about this one!
Congrats on the II's!
I completed early august (1st week), am OOS with 70LM as well. Silent rejection? Does tufts do silent rejects?

yeah today
+3 c'mon Tufts show us some love!
I received mine a few hours ago.
Tuesdays and Thursdays of every month. They were only into December when I picked a date today so all of January onwards is still open.
I don't think they silent reject, pretty sure from stalking last years feed Dec they started sending out rejections. I am dying to hear from Tufts!!
Interview day is super chill. You have 2 open file interviews either in the morning or afternoon. While half the group interviews the other half gets a tour. There is a financial aid presentation and a research presentation too.
is it one faculty and one student?
Yes
For some people it's 2 faculty
when did the wave hit last year?

Just looked. Wave hit early December
Hoping they reach September complete dates soon!
Yeah looks like their still innerly august
Yep, from what I've seen they were at early-mid Aug last week.
Does anyone know if they go back and give II even tho they seem to go in chronological order? Like if you were complete end of July and they're inviting August now is it reject or do they actually go back at all?
There are a lot of factors, it's not based on chronology necessarily. Check out last year's thread they had people complete in August getting II's in Jan
Probably, I'm bracing for it
Does anyone have any insight to the Deferred list for the Maine Track? Is it pretty much a rejection or are there still good chances of getting in from it?
The way I understood it is that they just haven’t decided anything yet. They discuss your application again at the subsequent meeting and issue a decision then or continue to defer you until a decision has been reached. Purgatory.
So I noticed that Tufts seems to encourage updates from applicants. Has anyone tried sending an update/letter of interest letter pre-interview or is it better to wait until afterwards? Also, what type of achievements are considered appropriate for such a letter outside of research publications? For example, is something like being recognized as a featured volunteer due to active contribution considered appropriate within a letter of intent?
Accepted MD/MPH today. 1 month after MD (in case others are waiting).
I sent an update and got an II! I got a new job and updated them about that.
How much time in between the II and letter? Thanks!
Thanks for the response!
Did you just discuss your new job and emphasized your interest in the school again? I am thinking of doing this, but just not sure if it would be looked down on by adcoms.
Yep! I did exactly what you said.

About 2 months, sadly
Hi! First time posting on SDN but long-time viewer. Was just wondering if you emailed the update or uploaded it onto the portal under "Additional Documents"?
I'm honored to be featured in your first post! Yeah, i just uploaded it into the tab!
Thank you so much!
