<p>now that i look back i realize i may have not sent my sat scores/transcript/or teacher recommendation- at least some of them- my numbers were still great-but the system is still flawed.</p>
<p>If you applied ED, the issue of yield wouldn’t have mattered.</p>
<p>But yea, if you had sent your things in, I’m pretty sure you’d be accepted.</p>
<p>Send in your stuff, and you’re looking good for regular decision.</p>
<p>ninjaman, your numbers don’t even match up here!!!</p>
<p>you have given different sat scores, different nationality…but whatever</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, in our school we talked about the existence of a syndrome. My friend got deferred, but she was not surprised. We just laughed about it. (She had great stats and will probably get into a better school).
Does Tufts publish Common Data Set? All decent Univs do. From CDS one can get an idea about the criteria for acceptance.</p>
<p>What exactly is this “tufts syndrome?” What might the symptoms be? :-P</p>
<p>it’s pretty obvious we see tufts in the working at hotchkiss, and that’s also what my friend from choate says</p>
<p>
Since when is a 2230 just “decent”? What, is “great” (or “great great”) reserved only for the echelon of 2350 kids? Ridiculous.</p>
<p>we don’t even know if these scores are true- different scores were shared on different threads and the OP hasnt bothered to explain</p>
<p>if you are from the northeast (Maryland north to Maine), Tufts is EXTREMELY selective…keep this in mind before jumping to conclusions about their decisions…</p>
<p>It’s obvious why he didn’t get in. He can’t spell ridiculous.</p>
<p>and he can’t decide which race he wants to be</p>
<p>“Since when is a 2230 just “decent”? What, is “great” (or “great great”) reserved only for the echelon of 2350 kids? Ridiculous.”</p>
<p>sorry, at my school, 2230 is only around 75th percentile</p>
<p>it’s pretty obvious we see tufts syndrome in the working at hotchkiss, …obvious, almost all the top kids get waitlisted/rejected, while the 3.0-3.5 range has way over 50% admit rate… … and that’s also what my friend from choate says</p>
<p>To the OP: Judging by the tone and wording of your post,I’m going to go out on a limb here and bet that you were headed for the Fletcher School of Diplomacy at Tufts University. How did they ever let such a catch get away! It must be a mistake or racism or jealousy. How dare they relegate you to the likes of American University! The Horror! The sheer horror!</p>
<p>Lolabelle states “Tufts’ academic quality/reputation/students today match Cornell’s, Northwestern’s, Georgetown’s, Johns Hopkins’, etc.”</p>
<p>LOL ;-)</p>
<p>On what planet is she on? Maybe she drives around in dirty diapers, too…</p>
<p>“On what planet is she on? Maybe she drives around in dirty diapers, too…”</p>
<p>Although I agree that Tufts =/= Cornell, etc., there’s no need to be rude. (And there’s no need to be redundant, either – ‘On what planet is she on?’ …)</p>
<p>Show me the numbers where the stats of enrolled students at those schools are not nearly identical. I’ve posted them way too many times to want to do that again.</p>
<p>I got into all of those schools and picked Tufts. I know several students at Tufts who got into several of them as well and picked Tufts. And vice-versa. They compete in the same pool, especially for students interested in pre-med/sciences, history, polisci/IR/govt, etc.</p>
<p>Haha, thanks Kyle.</p>
<p>We still don’t know if the OP is giving us accurate stats…</p>
<p>By any standard,Tufts is one of the best schools in the nation. The IR dept. is fabulous and is only handicapped by the fact that it isn’t located in Washington D.C.</p>
<p>tufts engineering need to get their acts together if they want to compete with cornell or JHU tho</p>
