CONGRATULATIONS to Duffman and Phish! Allow me to be the first Jumb09 to preemptively welcome you to our community. We were just discussing the other day how you already know you’ll be here like nine months from now, but we still have the entire second half of our freshman year to finish! It’ll be great meeting you all - looking forward to making sure the freshmen are social - and if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Deferrees - hang tight! it’s perfectly possible to get in after a deferral. If Tufts is where you belong, they’ll see that and snatch you in.

To those who did not get in - I know it may seem like a huge deal, but I promise you, the fact that Tufts did not recognize your awesome qualities just means that it’s not where you belong. You will be happier somewhere else, somewhere that understands why you are worthy. I applied early decision to Penn when I was sixteen years old, and then was deferred - then, January onward, my entire LIFE happened! I found out so many things about myself, and experienced so much, that I feel like an entirely different person. I know now that I would not have been happy at all at Penn - and Penn clearly saw that, so they said no, and hoped that this would narrow my pool and I’d end up at the right place. And I did - for ME. So will you!
