Please don’t judge me...Am I crazy for turning down an acceptance at Tufts that comes with a scholarship? (For Nova, without a scholarship)

No

How much of a scholarship ? because tufts tuition is ridiculous 😭

 

[Like_Groceries]

I would’ve chosen tufts over nova lol

No. I'm doing the same lol

 

[hopeful_dentist801]

20k a year

 

[hopeful_dentist801]

Why?

 

[pharaoh97]

20k a year

woah 20k is a lot

 

[HoyaDent]

Anyone have any insight on whether the Tufts interview is open or closed file?

 

[pharaoh97]

woah 20k is a lot

But tbh dental school is 4 years, yeah tuition is a big factor when choosing a school. However, you also wanna be happy where you are at, and want to come out as an exceptional clinical. My point is go somewhere that you’re going to be happy at because at the end of the day you are going to pay back those loans regardless if you grind.

 

[hopeful_dentist801]

No. I'm doing the same lol

Really?did you already turn tufts down? Did you also have a scholarship?

 

[odontogenesis]

if i can get your scholarship then yes pls go to nova

How did you get notified about your scholarship?

 

[Surgery&Science]

It was painful, but I did the same thing... Tufts seems great overall and would have totally gone there, but I got into my #1 and even without a scholarship it will be like 1/2 the price of Tufts! But I can understand your hesitancy!

Ok great thanks!!! Best of luck 🙂

For the supplemental, it says it needs to be hand written. Do you think handwriting it on my iPad would be okay? Or do i need to use a pencil?

I used my iPad and it was fine. I got accepted.

Just got invited yesterday for Presentation day on 1/26

Is there a word limit for the handwritten supplementals 🙂

Do you mind telling us your stats?

 

[happilyeverafter]

Is there a word limit for the handwritten supplementals 🙂

I don’t think so. I used almost the whole page but length shouldn’t matter too much! As long as you write what you want to convey 🙂 I wouldn’t stress too much about it.

For those declining Tufts offer of admissions, can you please share why? Is it mainly a financial thing or is it also for other reasons within the student body, professors, school in general?

For me, it was just that I preferred a smaller class size. Tufts has the second largest class size.

Thank you for your response! This is also a concern of mine, but I’ve spoken to a few students and they talk about how “present” the professors are in the labs (about 3-4 teachers per 10 students...roughly). Just what I’ve heard tho!!

 

[maybedentist]

Does anyone know what email to send the letter of intent to?

 

[heyay]

I applied in late October and just got an "application complete" email today... Would my chances of getting an interview be low?

 

[Tinytim12]

I recently got accepted to tufts and the deposit is due soon. I want to hear the good the bad and the ugly about tufts. tell me everything.

its the only school I have interviewed at so it is kind of my only choice but it does come with a huge commitment financially so I wouldn't be opposed to re applying next cycle if it is not worth it to go there.

thanks

 

[Totoro!]

I don't think so! Last cycle, my friend applied to Tufts at the end of Jan and is currently a student there.

I follow this youtuber who currently goes to tufts, and she pretty much gives a overview of what it is like to learn dentistry in tufts!
