<p>From what I know (and I could be terribly wrong about this), Tufts and SMFA review your app as they would with any ordinary student (Tufts will evaluate you as a student going for a BA or BS, while SMFA will evaluate you as a student going for a BFA). However, I’d think that they would take into consideration that you applied for a dual degree (even though they aren’t deliberating together). I would just call the admiss office to figure out if Tufts would be viewing your portfolio as well. Is it too late to even send supplemental material to the office? (another good question to ask the office). </p>
<p>Again, I could be totally wrong about this, but that’s what I know.</p>
<p>(it’s also interesting to see you post on the Tufts board, though I’m always used to seeing you post on the arch board)</p>
