I do agree with you Dan, it’s much easier to be the one making the decision though. I know that I need to fit Tufts’ criteria as well and I’m sure I would make the same point if it was me on the other side because, no matter how much denial I might find myself in, I know it does take two to tango! It’s just endlessly frustrating that I’ll be getting the latest decision possible when I applied for the earliest decision possible (round one)… so excuse me if my previous post seemed snide.

Any particular reason that you capitalize “Fit”?

Also, I want to make it very clear to the admissions board that Tufts is the place for me, but I don’t want to pester. I have written a heartfelt letter, is there anything else I should be sending? Perhaps third quarter grades? Additional recommendations? Make some phone calls? I already did this after my deferral in December which is why I hesitate to start the cycle all over again.

I have been surfing CC for a couple weeks now and find all of your posts to be very helpful, not to mention uplifting. I know people say this all of the time, but thank you so much for taking the time to interact with your applicants. It’s very much appreciated.
