I appreciate the feedback! My grades didn't change a whole lot, but came back to normal the following semester. What I want to emphasize is the process of adapting to the new system and how challenging it initially was.

yeah that's definitely a unique challenge to have overcome. i say go for it!

I have a question for anyone who applied to the Maine track. Did you get a separate confirmation email for the Maine track? I submitted the separate Maine track application and then submitted the other application. I just want to make sure that they consider me for both programs!

When putting in your prereqs, should we write (online course) next to the classes that were remote during COVID or no? I’m concerned that any courses taken online might be seen negatively but some of my prereqs courses were only online.

I got a C+ in Organic Chemistry II my sophomore year. My overall GPA that semester was a 3.66 and I graduated with a 3.81. I didn't get any other grades below B+. Should I write about this in the Tufts academic challenges question? I don't feel the need to but don't want them to see it as a red flag if I don't address it.

I wrote (online due to COVID-19) vs just (Online).

I did have one online stats class from before the pandemic so if you read it in context it is clear which ones my school was only offering online at the time.

I also called out courses that required exams to be taken in-person even if the delivery was online.

Hi! They're going to see the C+ in your primary so they might already see it as a red flag before they look at your secondary lol. If you can address your academic challenges resulting in the C+ and explain how you bounced back, however, that can work in your favor.

Thank you!

Are people using the additional essay as another why tufts?

Also, for entering coursework if lab and lecture were separate, are you inputting both?

for additional essay, I think its best if you could talk more about who you are. I believe giving them another eye to see what kind of person you are would be great.
