I interviewed back in November so my memory might be a bit foggy but both of my interviews were very friendly and conversational! Half my faculty interview was spent talking about one of my hobbies lol. Open file so I would know your application well, but other than that be yourself and try your best to relax!

I loved my interview! The day is a bit long because you go through the info sessions at the beginning then your 2 interviews in the afternoon, but its all engaging. The 2 interviews in the afternoon were my favorite! They are so personal bc they truly STUDY your application, all aspects of it. I've had many open file interviews, but this one was definitely like they knew me to a T, like all aspects of me as a person it was a bit scary lol (good scary, very touching). With that being said, its serves you well to really know all the ins and outs of your application.

Tufts has need based scholarships
I am taking a day to drive up to boston and see what the area is like, any reccs on where to go/what to see?
Due to the pandemic, most public places have limited opening, however I would recommend the following place:
1. Downtown area:
- Tufts medical campus is 2 minutes away from here.
- Also houses the Boston Common garden, and the state house.
2. Copley square:
-Prudential malls: where the designer stores are + Apple,
-Boston Public Main Library.
3. Fenway areas: where BU and colleges are located.
4. There are multiple museum, however they might be temporary closed.
SINCE YOU ARE DRIVING, YOU WILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PARK YOUR CAR. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN BOSTON IF YOU ARE NOT A RESIDENT OF A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD.
Do you know when financial aid packages will be sent out?

I saw on last year's thread that fin aid packages were sent in mid-late April
Pre II R for Boston just now. Complete mid July. Both immensely sad but thankful they let me out of waiting purgatory.
Best of luck to everyone here 🙂

+1 except I was recently told my financial aid was complete. I’m hoping this is good 🤞🏼
Tbh my theory is that they have probably extended all 40 of their offers at this point but as people turn down spots in the coming weeks they'll start sending out more As
Have any deferred Maine Trackers submitted update letters? I'm wondering if I should submit mine under "additional documents" in the Tufts application portal, or if I should email it directly to the Maine Track admissions committee. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hey guys, does anyone know whether tufts offers any sort of merit-based scholarships or extra financial aid if we would like to come to Tufts but the financial aspect is holding us back? My current top choice will only cost me 20k in tuition (yearly) and it's in a low-ish COL area so it would be 200-300k cheaper than Tufts all in.
Debating whether or not it's even worth it at this point to submit all of my (and my parents') financial documents to get the financial aid package since their income will exclude me from any need-based aid. I realize I am also behind their "priority" fin aid deadline (whatever that means) since I thought I had submitted everything but there were a couple forms I forgot.

Withdrew my acceptance from the Boston Track, I hope it goes to one of you!

Does anyone know when they will start putting people on a waitlist? Or is a deferred list the same as a waitlist at tufts?
