Any accepted students apply for the Questbridge alumni grad scholarship? Just got an email yesterday from the dean saying "We are offering at least 2 QuestBridge scholarships covering half-tuition. QuestBridge scholars with significant financial need will also be considered for all other funding available which may include multiple need-based scholarships in addition to institutional and/or federal loans." which seems much different than what was said in the QB info sessions which said "This program provides up to a full-tuition scholarship, but students should apply through the university financial aid office to receive additional financial support".

I reached out to financial aid but haven't heard back. Given the extremely high tuition at Tufts and insane cost of living in Boston, I'm not sure how much of a deal half tuition is for a very low income student. Maybe the change is related to federal funding cuts?

Anyone have any insight or info from financial aid?
I also received the same email, but no other information on the financial aid. I scheduled a meeting with the financial advisors next week to see if I could get more info
But yes I agree it sucks, I had also heard it would be full-tuition, but grateful for the aid
 
Hey everyone! Hope yalls cycle has been going well! Quick question does anyone know if Tufts silently rejects or does making it this far without an R actually mean we’re still being considered/they don’t wanna reject us quite yet?
 
Does anyone know what is happening with MSTP this year? It seems like no acceptances have gone out, which is different from last year's cycle

I saw last year’s thread no one got accepted off deferral. It’s an auto-waitlist at the end of the cycle
Then why did you say it will be an R? Also SDN isn’t representative of all applicants. “This letter does not mean that you have been Wait-Listed. Please do not be discouraged; it is not at all uncommon for our committee to place qualified applicants in the “deferred decision” category, and many applicants initially placed in this category will ultimately be admitted”
