FIRST TUFTS ED I Thread

[ldunivan]

I thought I'd start a thread for parent or student on the Tufts EDI roller coaster ride. My D is in and praying....thoughts about this year?

Also, for those of you counting on an EDI admission -- what's the backup plan? Are you actively working on other applications or gambling that if the news is bad you go into crisis mode?

Another anxious ED parent here. As soon as she hit submit I thought of the old Simpsons' quote..."Now we play the waiting game. Aw, the waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos."

Luckily, my daughter has her head screwed on well. Her motto in life is "don't dwell," so if she doesn't get into to Tufts, she knows she'll end up somewhere and it'll all turn out fine in the end. As far as backup, she's planning on waiting for December 15 and if it's bad news, she can distract herself with the other apps.

My D also applied ED1. She received her first acceptance to a safety on Thursday, so that is helpful to have on hand if the ED doesn't go well. D was so excited to get an acceptance and *know* she will be going to college next year. Of course, we knew she would get into her safeties - that they is why they are safeties! But the timing was good to receive it. She has 2 other safety apps completed (all due 11/1) but I don't think she'll hear from them until Jan. or later. A few of her other schools she'll continue to work on this month, a few will wait until we hear from Tufts. It is hard to keep all these balls up in the air at one time though!

D just got an email about scheduling her Tufts interview. We also found out there's a big alumni group out here, which is very cool! Hard to type with fingers crossed.
