Tufts didnt even send out invitations yet. They will start (hopefully) beginning this week. Hence, if you are in the late batch, you wont receive it till after December.

Yes, that's why I said 'tomorrow'.....

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, do you have competitive ECs? Many shadowing hours? ect?

My mailing date is just tad past yours, so I wanna see if lower-side GPA's like mine only get in with amazing non-academic stuff.

Amazing? No.
50 hrs shadowing
2 quarters microbiology research
job since 15
graduated in June
~200 hrs volunteering
couple leadership positions (student mentoring type things)

That pretty much sums it up! I'm not URM but I did complete the disadvantaged section on the basis of various socioeconomic factors.

Oh, and I put a LOT of thought/time into my PS.

I'm taking classes and working during my gap year to boost the sGPA. Here's hoping there's only ONE gap year!

Thanks for the update! This makes me more hopeful.
I know what you mean about the gap year. I'm in the same situation. I guess we just have to keep busy huh? 🙂

Speaking of which, time for me to get off this addictive site and kill biochem studying.

Good luck at NYU!

"Following initial review by the Student Admissions Committee, your application has been placed in "Continuing Review." This category is used by the committee for those applications it is not prepared to take final action on at the present time. "


Do I still have a chance? What can I do to improve my chances during continuing review? Should fly to Boston to meet with someone there?

I just got an e-mail from Pitt about hotels in the area for interviews, as well as directions to the school (email subject "Interview Information"). Did everyone get this, or does this mean I got an interview? I don't have anything explicitly saying I got an interview, so I'm really confused..
