Me too as an OOSer!!! I'm so ecstatic!! Good luck everyone!!
Were any of you IS? For the rest of us, there are still 10 interview days left to potentially get invited to Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
Me too. The January interview dates aren't even finalized, so I won't know my date until after the new year. I'm guessing you were told the same.
After January 1st
Can't wait!! It seems like it has been a forever wait ^_^
They sent out the first round already, but they'll start sending out more in January!
That is so awesome, congratulations! 🙂

Goodluck on that!! ROCK IT!
That happened to me last year! Got a call for a Monday interview on a Friday...the day after I had surgery 😛. Was still on some fun painkillers for that one....
just joined. OOS first time applicant 🙂
Thanks for the well-wishes, @ImAVet! The interview process was great...everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, and there were information sessions and tours scheduled throughout the day. The interview itself felt pretty laid back and conversational. I was mostly asked about my background and interests, and then my interviewers spent the rest of the time answering all of my questions about the program. A few current students showed up over lunch to answer questions and chat with the candidates. Overall, it was definitely a very positive, low-stress interview day!
They told us that some people will be notified of their decisions right away (early next week), while the rest will hear back sometime in early February.

Does anyone know if they are still sending out invites?
Yes in January
I am studying abroad in January and had to email and ask when interviews will be. I was told that invites will be sent out just before and/or just after New Years with interview dates being the last week of January and first two weeks of February (can't remember the exact dates. They're somewhere on Tufts' site, but I can't seem to navigate it very well!). After that, I believe interviewees will know by mid-Feb whether they got in or not.
Exactly! I can't wait for New Years, though, so I finally know if my application has been tossed or if I still have a chance!

@Koala1010 oh! That's where I saw it! It's hard to keep track of where all of this information is 
@ImAVet 2/9 is actually the very last day to interview. If I get one, that's the day I'll be going since I'll be out of the US until the week prior!

Their site said about 300 total interviewees.
At the interviews last week they said they will be interviewing more this year due to receiving a lot more applications. So anywhere from 350-400 most likely this year according to them.
Still for 98 seats
Hey guys! I know they don't ask for fall grades at Tufts, but do you think it would hurt to email them a copy of my fall transcript? I just got a 4.0 for the semester (!!!) , which brings my cumulative to a 3.8 and I would really like them to know.
Congrats! I did too! I had asked Cornell who has a policy that they don't accept fall transcripts even if an applicant wants to send them. But maybe Tufts will!
Congrats to you too!
Yes I knew that about Cornell, but Penn and Tufts are both "if we want them we'll ask you" schools, so I thought that they might be interested in seeing it. Not sure how to non-awkwardly send that email haha.
True! Oh I would love to send them to UPenn and Tufts...maybe just send an email saying that you did very well this semester and wanted to see if they would accept fall transcripts if you send them? I know what you mean though. I don't want to annoy the admissions ik they are really busy!
Yeah I'll go ahead and ask, I don't think it could hurt, and if they accept it, it might look good!
A 4.0 definitely can't hurt! 🙂

I got a 3.7 this semester and which increased my GPA as well! As for Tufts I sent Ford an unofficial transcript via email. We spoke during the summer and he had mentioned to me that if I wanted to, I could send him a copy in order to calculate it into my GPA that they have!
Cool! Congrats! My email just asked if they'd take it, so hopefully they'll write back and say yes, so I can do the same 🙂
Oh and FYI for anyone also applying to Penn, I asked them as well and they wrote back to bring it to my interview if I wanted it considered
