The email that I got:
"We realize that you have been awaiting your decision release longer than we anticipated, and we appreciate your patience. We hope to have your decision released within the next 10 days. Thank you, again, for your patience as we approach the end of this admissions cycle!"

How about you all?

I got this email too.

Yep that’s the one. I’m curious as to the people receiving the ‘we hope you’re pleased with the decision’ version. I think maybe they have deposits elsewhere and it’s the schools way of selling itself. The entire interview day was a here’s why tufts is so great, now let’s see if it fits because we already think you’re good enough and want you.

that's exactly how I felt my interview day went. how do you think they decide who to reject? because all day, I had felt that I'd be surprised to receive a rejection but after reading everyone else's posts I'm second-guessing my gut feeling/the 10% rejection number has to come from somewhere.

 

[Emery]

Did you put deposit down on any other schools?

Yes, but I’m not sure how they would know that

 

[B4SS]

Yes, but I’m not sure how they would know that

From my understanding: Schools reported to ADEA who has deposits down on March 1st, and ADEA released that info to the other schools March 5th.

Yes but only schools whose offers you have accepted can see that information, not schools who haven’t accepted you

 

[B4SS]

Oh. I have no idea how it works.

 

[Emery]

Oh. I have no idea how it works.

Whole application process is kinda wacky lol

I interviewed at the end of February but didn't get one of those emails.. When did you guys interview?

I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s probably just because it hasn’t been a super long time since your interview. A bunch of us have been waiting for over a month

 

[happy_6523]

Waitlisted

 

[Emery]

Accepted!

 

[sillyymelly]

[happy_6523]

[doctor.doctor]

[happy_6523]

do we have to email the waitlist documents or mail them?

One of forms says mail to the Admission Office

 

[lilswann12]

[Emery]

[drj95]

Does anyone know if there is any way we can fax or email these forms?

[doctor.doctor]

@lilswann12, I interviewed Feb 11th

I would actually advise you to mail them because they ask for your social security number. You don't want to send confidential information like that via email.

[masomin]

[sunburn1996]

I was interviewed in early March and my status still says invited for interview . Is that the same for everyone who was interviewed in March?

 

[kevin&thezits]

I interviewed in the end of February and my status says that too.

 

[Emery]

Did you receive any info about how to make your deposit etc yet?

 

[tbrian]

I’m curious but does anyone know if those that just recently got accepted was the last round of acceptances?

 

[sting2]

Anyone who interviewed on Feb 7th heard from Tuft? I received the 10days email but after all nothing.

 

[happy_6523]

Should we send a letter of intent? But I feel like the school doesn’t want us to bother them...

 

[B4SS]

Happy day 10! No news yet, guess I fall victim to the phrase “we ‘hope’ to release your decision within 10 days.”

 

[doctor.doctor]

[B4SS]

Nope, no waitlist! Feb 11th.

AADSAS status still received/under review. Changed from invited to interview a few weeks ago.

They might have meant 10 business days. Don't let posts of people hearing back make you anxious (I know, easier said than done), you are not alone. Hang in there! Keep busy and stay off SDN a bit 🙂

 

[ams11ac00]

Declined my spot this morning! Good luck everyone!

 

[drj95]

Does anyone know the dates for when the first, second, and third deposits are due for those who were accepted? also, does it vary depending on when you got accepted or does everyone have the same dates?

 

[Hnguyen@11]

Do you guys know if Tufts still sending out invite for interview or they are done with this cycle?

 

[deleted961052]

hi guys! i'm going to be applying to schools next year and I kind of really like tufts so far! i know it's expensive, but is it out of state friendly? since it's private I'm assuming there's more openness to out of state applicants but I'd really like to know for sure that I have somewhat of a chance getting in here. I'm on the east coast a few hours from tufts!

I applied to Tufts 3 years in a row and finally got an interview/acceptance from them. After interviewing I realized that Tufts adcom really like older candidates, especially those who have a masters degree. I believe about 100 students for last year’s class have a masters. I would definitely apply. I never expected to get an interview but as of right now Tufts is one of my favorite dental schools.
