I applied about a month ago and still have not heard anything from them. They are the only school which has not sent me an email so I'm starting to get a little worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Their website said not to contact them regarding application status so I figured this is the next best thing is to ask on here haha.

Same here. I was thinking about contacting them soon, but if this is a common thing, I think I'll hold off.

If your talking about receiving the application complete E-Mail, I am in the same position as you. My AADSAS says waiting for additional information. I was slightly concerned and just decided to contact them anyways, I'll let you know if they reply.

For the supplement I got that email a week or two after I submitted my AADSAS stuff, if that's is what OP is referring to. As for interviews you have tons of time to worry about that.

The supplement your talking about was just the fee right?

I added them to my list of schools, and my application was mailed to them on 8/1. About how long after it was mailed did you hear requesting a fee?

I paid the fee on 7/30 and got the "Application Complete" email on 8/1. AADSAS updated on 8/1 to "Received/Application Complete"

I haven't received any contact from them whatsoever. No email. Nothing on AADSAS that says they received/or are reviewing information. They are the only school I haven't heard received any contact from.

I couldn't tell you, buddy. Call them and ask if it's normal to not receive an email a month after e submitting.

Weird, I received a confirmation from tufts that i paid the fee on 7/31, but my AADSAS never updated to application complete, it still says "Received/Under Review"... I might call em up tomorrow to see if my dentist put the number of hours I shadowed for him on my LOE. I guess that was a requirement. haha

Don't pay too much attention to portal. Only one of my schools say complete. The other 16 say under review. However all of them sent me an application complete email. Portal can deceiving. Better to call schools

Shoot them a phone call if you're worried. However, know that Tufts makes a lot of moves after December. So don't fret just yet.

I received reply from tufts, saying my app is complete and under review. Addsas still says waiting for additional information, so if you applied early and submitted everything you should be good.

Anybody else not receive an application complete email after sending everything in yet? My aadsas portal still says "waiting for additional information" and the latest email I received from Tufts was back in early July when I received an incomplete email which just said they haven't received my supplemental fee yet. I paid that in late June. Should I be concerned?

I'm worried about contacting them since their email says "we ask that you not contact our office regarding the receipt of application materials as that will only delay the processing of your application."
