For accepted students: did you get email confirmation when you accepted? Just want to make sure I didn’t miss anything

email..but im not sure if this is a soft R like at other schools
You’ll have to dig through old threads to see that info, but a general rule of thumb is if a school emails you saying that you are on hold instead of it quietly being done behind the scenes, it’s a soft R
 
My bad, it was actually for a different school with a very similar name that I read hold. Sorry for the confusion!
 
does any one know anything about being deferred for Maine track? The email they sent out is just so nice and hopeful?? I know they have such a small class size so perhaps I shouldn't think too much about it either way?
 
Hi! Was wondering if there was important info from the Q&A about financial aid was or if there's any other info session about it? Any highlights would help too, thanks!

For any people who have interviewed alr how did you get your zoom links? I got an email about a week before my interview giving me more info and it said there would be a Zoom link but I do not see one... Just wondering if I need to email them or it's sent out a day before or something

Got an email 5 days before my interview w/ the link
 
Just to be sure, for those with A, all we had to do it elect on the portal that we are interested in enrolling. There has been no communications after that.
Yes, I emailed to confirm.

I’d love to know when the ‘first look’/campus visit day typically is so I can plan around it. Does anyone have thoughts?
 
For people who interviewed and heard back was it about a month when you heard back about decisions?
A little birdie told me decisions are coming this week.

does anyone remember what the process is like for financial aid? I had blacked out for that part of the interview day
You do your FAFSA, assign Tufts as one of your schools, and then do the Tufts SOM CSS profile. The latter is used to determine need-based aid from the school. You will need to report parental income as well as your own for the CSS profile (yes, it sucks and feels unfair, but it is used because this helps determine those who have the greatest financial need, because we are mostly all broke as individuals lol). FAFSA is only used to determine federal loan eligibility.

Does anyone know how receptive Tufts is to letters of interest? I received a deferral a few days ago and was wondering if a letter would impact my chances of being accepted in any way
