Chances at Tufts

[Detail]

<p>

nope, tufts syndrome definitely exists. don’t let your own personal biases prevent you from seeing that. however, i think they generally wait-list those who they consider "over"qualified instead of rejecting them.</p>

<p>i got wait-listed at tufts and i got into brown (which has what, 1/3 the acceptance rate of tufts?). my friend got wait-listed at tufts and got into johns hopkins.</p>

<p>my other friend got rejected from UCSD and got into tufts.</p>

<p>if this doesn’t tell you anything, i dont know what does. the “tufts syndrome” exists. and by the way, 27% is not so ridiculously low that “no one can apply there as a back-up.”</p>

<p>i think tufts is a really great school (hence the reason i applied), but i do have a problem with that policy. but it has nothing to do with the school as a whole.

<p>A friend of mine was wait listed at Brown but got into Harvard and Yale. I guess the Brown syndrome exists as well?</p>
