2018-2019 Tufts University

[labscience]

Anyone care to address why only 15 applicants were deferred last year? Does this even make sense lol

I think this means 16 people were accepted and got approved to defer their matriculation until the next year

Does anyone know when second look is? Sorry if this has already been asked.

They said April 11 and that the multicultural weekend is april 12-13. but they haven't given specific times for events yet

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Any chance anyone knows when the committee meets (like what days/when’s next)? I wanna submit an update before then.

I called the admissions office and they said it’s fine to submit updates and they will take letters of intent into consideration as well.

[AmericanArthurDent]

Unrelated to admissions, are any of my fellow deferred applicants still getting the monthly Tufts medicine magazine? I got another one recently lol

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Lol no I haven't. But I also haven't been deferred that long.

 

[medimed2]

sooo is committee meeting this week?

 

[dancergurl7878]

Have there been any waitlists or just deferrals? Trying to understand what the deferral really means in this process...

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Trying to understand what the deferral really means in this process...

Same, on the same note, has anyone gotten *off* the deferred list yet, one direction or the other.

it seems like no one really knows what deferral means........

Deferral is the basically the same thing as waitlist. They probably use the word deferred because they will select few from the deferred list prior to traffic day and then the rest will be waitlisted, meaning their apps wont be considered for admission till probably after traffic day. Just my assumption

I know a few people have asked, but no one knows the date of the March meeting right?

March 15th!

 

[ijustwanttogetin2017]

March 15th!

Oh awesome thank you! If they’re not meeting until Friday then we likely won’t hear back until next week. Phew, can relax!

 

[ijustwanttogetin2017]

Just deferred for Maine Track.

[Medatack]

Anyone hear anything?

 

[peachezzzz]

[Konkurro]

WL

 

[Arsartium]

For me it took a week. Just make sure you get the withdrawal confirmation email.

 

[medimed2]

WL

When did you interview?

 

[looookingforthatMD]

WL

WL +1

 

[ThreatLevelMidnight_]

WL +1

+2

 

[ick19]

WL +3

 

[dancergurl7878]

Are the WL Maine track or regular?

 

[ThreatLevelMidnight_]

Are the WL Maine track or regular?

Regular, for me at least

 

[ijustwanttogetin2017]

Regular, for me at least

We’re you put on an actually waitlist or just deferred?

 

[ThreatLevelMidnight_]

We’re you put on an actually waitlist or just deferred?

Actual WL sadly

 

[ijustwanttogetin2017]

Actual WL sadly

I actually think that's not the worst news? It seems that if you're deferred, you either get rejected or put on the waitlist after traffic day. Being on the regular waitlist may be the better option. Just speculation of course.

 

[ick19]

Are the WL Maine track or regular?

Regular

 

[dancergurl7878]

Where my Maine Track deferred peeps at? Think we will hear before April?

(interviewed Oct, deferred since Nov)

Same- interviewed in Oct, deferred in Nov, and no answer since. I didn't expect to hear back for awhile but I am kind of bitter that I had to fill that financial aid information out for potentially nothing lol

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Has anyone who'd been deferred gotten any news?

 

[bostonstrong95]

Also, I forgot, I called admissions office 2 days ago about Deferment stuff and they said that we (about deferment) should have word one way or the other by the first week of May.

Thanks for doing that. Did they say by first week of May? Or during first week of May? Wondering if they’ll give us anything at all throughout April...

 

[Boros]

Know anyone interested in a kidney?

 

[Ihave_noidea]

speaking of paying... I wonder when the financial aid is going to be released lol

Does anyone know how this will work with the AMCAS pick your school thingy? If I already have an acceptance and I'm still deferred here but not waitlisted, then does that mean I will have to withdraw my application?

 

[applepie1212]

Question...if I was deferred and did not fill out financial aid packet, should I consider submitting it even if this late and regardless of the outcome of my application?
