Tufts did extend their deadline, right? I got an email from "[email protected]" saying that the application deadline is extended, but a) it's not from a Tufts email address and b) the reasoning was circular ("Because we will receive and process applications for the rest of this week and into next week, we have extended the deadline to Monday morning, November 6, at 9:00 am Eastern Standard Time.")

In case you didn't get the email, here it is:

We know that many, many of you are hard at work on your Tufts application for admission. We've received numerous calls with questions about the deadline to submit an application.

Because we will receive and process applications for the rest of this week and into next week, we have extended the deadline to Monday morning, November 6, at 9:00 am Eastern Standard Time. (This allows you some time to go "trick or treating"!) You can submit your application anytime before 9:00 am on November 6.

Once you submit your application, you will be able to track its status using our electronic application management system. But please be patient! It will be a while before we can update all applicants' records with what has been received in our office, i.e., transcripts, letters of evaluation.

We hope that these emails have been helpful to you. Best wishes in this year's application process.

Just making sure we're not getting screwed...
 
If I were one of you guys, I would call them up and check on that... Not to be paranoid but you never know whose computer was hacked into. A quick check around their website didn't show anything about an extension.
 
damn, now you got me worried. I'm going to call tomorrow morning 🙁

Yeah, now I'm paranoid too. I was just about done when that email came along, so I switched gears and worked on something else, figuring we've got more time for Tufts.

I tried calling today, but it was too late, no answer.

If that email was from a hacker, you'd think they would have gotten at least ONE call by now and sent out another email saying that the deadline is still Nov. 1. And even if they don't realize until we call tomorrow, they would probably just extend the deadline for real because everyone really thought it was due on Monday.

Yeah, good point. I thought of that as well. I don't think they'd be so cold hearted as to say, oh well, you got suckered!

Tomorrow's a new day. Time for bed now!
 
hey, did anyone call? (i totally forgot to call, i guess i'm just giving that email the benefit of the doubt, but just in case)

Ditto. I didn't call. I'm just hoping to get it submitted tomorrow. That'd be nice.
 
I'm just happy that I finally submitted my Tufts application!

Yay for one more item down! I've still got Louisiana supplemental to go, and I may still apply to Tuskegee.

It's a shame you can't go back and revise stuff. I feel that what I gave Tufts was my best so far (and it's been a long road). I wish I had produced this for VMCAS.

Here's hoping that I'll feel the North Grafton love soon!

Good luck to everyone!
