Hey! I didn't see this thread already created so I thought I would. Any Tufts hopefuls?? This is my second time applying and got a really good feeling from Tufts. Wishing everyone the best of luck!

This is my first time applying! Tufts is on my list to apply.
 
I'm thinking about applying to Tufts this year as well. Does anyone know if Tufts does superscoring for GRE scores?
 
Hmm, I don't actually know if they do that (I only took the GRE once so it didn't come up). I do think I read that they look at all the scores from previous attempts.

Best thing to do with questions like that is email Ford in admissions -- he & everyone else in admissions are super nice and are great about responding to stuff like that.
 
This is my second year applying and I got some great constructive feedback from Ford in admissions. I am taking his advice and hopefully I will have a better chance this year!
 
Does anyone know on the VMCAS questions section if you can list the same elevator twice (under the 'letters of evaluation' section)?
 
If this year follows last years trends, then I think the round of early interview invites will probably go out tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!
 
did anyone receive an email or notification that they received all your materials?

Got an interview for Dec 22nd! Anyone else? (also it's a bummer how close it is to the holidays because all the flights are extremely expensive...)

Congratulations Echoing!! :soexcited:
I'm still praying for mine! Did anyone else receive an invite today?
 
They sent an email with the subject "Tufts Interview Invite." I had called the admissions office a few days ago and they said the second round of will probably go out together. But for this one I think it was both OOS (me) and IS (I have a friend who got one too who is IS)

Do you know when they are planning to send out the second round?

In one of my update emails, they said to expect an email from their financial aid office... I haven't heard anything from them regarding financial aid or interviews. Anyone else in the same boat? Is it a bad sign that I haven't received a financial aid email?
 
I emailed one of the admissions people last week and he said that it should be sent out this month from financial aid because he had talked to them about it to answer my question about it

Thanks! I really appreciate it - these waiting periods are such torture...
Did they happen to mention when they expect to send out their next wave of interview invitations/how many waves there will be?

hi echoing,
for some reason i read somewhere that IS interviews occur after OOS ones? I'm in state and have heard nothing :/ do you have any more information about your friend?

I am an in state resident and I received a invitation to interview in November for December 22nd, if that helps. I don't think they are separating by instate/outstate.

In past years, they have had an interview round in December that is mixed OOS/IS, and then a couple more rounds in January/February that are separated (for the most part; may be some overlap there).

So, don't worry if you haven't heard anything yet! I believe that the interview notifications for January went out after the December interviews were completed last year.
 
UGH do you guys really think they'll wait to send Jan interview invitations until after the 12/22 interview? That means we might have to wait until after the holidays...

Sigh, I hope they let us know before Christmas... 😵
 
Quick question: I wear a studded nose ring. It is small and understated but definitely noticeable. Should I take it out for my interview? What about for my headshot required by the school? It's apparent in my current headshot. Please let me know!

I'm at Tufts now and 2/4 people in my study group have nose piercings. I can ask them what they did for interviews if that would help!

The school requires headshots of you at the time of the interview?
 
Question about denials.. do they email you or mail you a sad rejection letter?

Last year I was rejected and they sent an email that my application decision was sent and then I went through the portal and the letter was there.
 
I just got an email saying I am being considered for interview and that they need my fall transcripts to make the decision. Anyone else get this?

Nope. I was told by one of their admissions representatives that I do not need to send them my fall transcripts at all.

Yeah! I got an email today. Im OOS. It literally said that the committee is intrigued with my profile and that they need my fall transcripts to make a decision about interviewing me or not

I have a nose ring too so this would be helpful info :laugh:

After I got my interview, they sent an email about filling out an online form. The form mostly asked my dietary needs/those of people I would be bringing, but they also wanted a picture of me.
 
Do we need to bring anything tomorrow for the interview? I've had to bring my passport to some other interviews, so just wondering if there is anything special for tufts!

Ack, sorry for the delay!

I asked them; one of them took hers out, the other did not. Both clearly got in to the school 😉

They both have pretty small studs so it is honestly not very noticeable. It actually took me about 3 weeks to notice my lab partner had her nose pierced at all (may say more about my observation skills than her piercings though lol)
