Was anyone else told that their application is incomplete? I know my rec letters fit their requirements, especially because I applied with them last cycle and it was considered complete, but I’m being told now that my second prof letter hasn’t been received. I want to contact them because it’s been over a month but they’ve stated in their email that doing so will delay processing so I’m kinda confused on what to do??

Hey! Contemplating applying to tufts currently. I already applied to other schools earlier in June and already have my application verified. Would it be smart to apply now and would it look bad that my aadsas got verified in June and applying mid September? Thanks!

It’s still not too late to apply don’t worry. I applied mid November last year and got a January interview. I was waitlisted and never got off but I know others who interviewed same time and even later than January and got in.
