Tufts... grades... enrollment decision form

Hello,
I was recently accepted to Tufts, but am worried about how strict their "C" or better policy is. I received a C- last Spring, but submitted my AADSAS before receiving that grade (I had some major family problems that semester and even addressed it during my interview).

If you've received the enrollment decision form, it says that "... final acceptance is conditional upon receipt of at least a mark of "C" in every course in the remainder of my planned education program, including fall 2008 coursework." but it doesn't mention anything about the spring 2008 grades.

Do you think I should call or leave it as it is. (I have definitely made the requirement since then and will most likely get pretty good grades this semester).

Thanks! I am so nervous especially with so few days to send in my deposit.

I thought ds usually have strict policy about the prereqs, not others..??
I think you need to call them and explain your situation one more time.

Hey, I was in the same situation after my fall 08 grades became available. I called uop right away and was just honest with them. I described how interviews didn't make studying for such a difficult class any easier. They were way understanding about it and told me not to worry. Honesty is usually the best policy, in my opinion. Good luck!

All you can do is be honest and up front with them as they are going to find out in the long run anyway ...

If you don't mind me asking, when were you accepted? When did you interview?

Thanks!

I thought there was something that said you had to include all spring grades before submitting your application, and that your transcript must reflect your spring grades. I know that's how it was when I applied.

Hi all!

Thanks for the great input. I called and everything is okay. 🙂

I interviewed two weeks ago and just got my package this past Saturday.

--> mamelons, unfortunately my spring grades come out much later than other schools because we are on the semester system so it is possible to submit your AADSAS in the spring before all grades are posted.

Thanks again everyone - I was 90% sure I wanted to call, but just so scared.
