Lolabelle, your information is so helpful - thank you! Which project is yours?

The acceptance email simply says that my son has been selected as a Tisch Scholar - no mention of the scholarship, although it does note that the designation will take care of his need for federal student loans. So we’ll cross our fingers for the scholarship!

The Tisch College looks to be both rigorous and inspiring. Again, his selection for this program is particularly meaningful to all of us.

FYI, National Public Radio had a great piece on Tufts new “quirky” essays and their potential impact on student diversity at Tufts this past February. If you haven’t heard it (it features Admissions Dean Lee Coffin), you can give it a listen here: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7384490

Now - any further thoughts about Tuft’s language requirement? :)
