Nope just waitlists for me. I really wish Tufts would get back to us. I have a job lined up for next year but I can't really settle down/in until I get the final word, ya know?

Same situation here, just waitlisted at Tufts and Drexel. I also can continue working at my job but would obviously prefer not too. In threads from last year, people got accepted in mid June and even mid July, so I wouldn't say it's too late yet... hopefully.
I'm actually really excited about work but of course if I get in, I'd have to leave everything and just go. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that yet: yay? nay?
I'll deal with it when/if it arrives, but yes, I agree that there's still hope. 🙂

This thread is keeping me sane and driving me insane simultaneously.
It's good to know I'm not alone.

Everyone morning I wake up and think; wow, maybe today is THE day...
At least each week seems to go by faster and faster. 🙄

No news here, it seems like they let in a couple people based on open spots. They might be waiting for more seats to open up (if they ever will) at this point. I sent a letter last week but that's about all.

on the tufts website they said that people are taken off the waitlist to meet diversity and demographics of incoming class.....I was wondering if this is true. For those that got in....where are you from? what school? race?....just wondering
Don't give up yet! Goodness, when I first read your post, I thought you had heard back from the admissions office, and they had said they weren't taking anymore people...
Besides, I think it's hard to predict when we would hear anything anyways; the timeline seems to be shifted from previous years. We didn't even get our waitlist letters until half way through May, whereas in previous years, they were much earlier. Chin up!

Haha, sorry... didn't mean to make you think I talked to anyone. Definitely didn't. Just being pessimistic at the moment. Hopefully we'll both hear good news soon!
I just got the call at 11:30am today! I'm going to Tufts! Good luck everyone, there's still hope!

Hey Congrats! I was really starting to feel like they weren't going to accept any more people. Guess there's still some hope. 🙂

I sent a letter of intent via email at the beginning of May that included a little update. About two weeks ago, I sent an email to Emily Condon asking about waitlist movement, and reiterating how much I love Tufts! I was just about to send another update. I definitely think it's worth emailing every 2-3 weeks with a little update of your interest. Good luck!

Alright, yea I've done pretty much the same. Sent a letter at the end of May and emailed Mrs. Condon last week or the one before. I'll email her again next week probably with an update.
(We're in the same boat by the way... I was also rejected from UMASS and have no other acceptances so this would be awesome. I'm waitlisted at Drexel as well but don't think they get much movement and would much rather go to Tufts anyway)
I got the call at 11:45am EST today!
Oh man. I was pretty set on my state school. Now I dont know what to do (i don't mean to be a brat).
How much time does Tufts give to make a decision?
CONGRATS and good luck to others!

Congrats!! Have you been in contact with admissions recently, or just the requisite letter of interest and waiting??
What do you mean two weeks notice?
i've sent a few updates as they've come up (spring transcripts from my master's program, new research at work, etc.). i also sent another "update" two weeks ago just letting them know that even though it was late in the game, i was still very much committed to attending if an opportunity were to become available...
and the two weeks? quitting my job. best of luck to you!
