Am I reading this data correctly? Admitted Student Profile | Tufts Admissions

For class of 2028, I see 3957 admitted and 1801+1336+297+83+85 = 3602 enrolled, a yield rate of 91%, whereas recent prior years had yield around 50%. Looks like either there is something wrong with how I am reading the “enrolled” data presented on this page, or perhaps they dramatically increased their ED. Maybe the “enrolled” numbers are actually admitted? Anyone want to straighten me out?

1,801 is the total of enrolled students (1,336+297+83+85). So, the yield number was approx. 45.5% (1,801/3,957).

Thanks, that makes much more sense. I was looking at it on my phone and the numbers were lining up in weird places.

The midyear grades are due on February 15th. My school doesn’t send semester grades out until “mid-February” which highly likely will be after the due date. Does anyone know if we should reach out Tufts or something?

I would start by asking your guidance counselor how they handle this. Surely you are not the first person to apply to Tufts from your school. They must know how to do it…

We had the same problem, and it turned out fine. Though, it was during height of Covid, so there were no rules then :laughing: I have a senior in engineering, let me know if you want to know anything. And, yes, my kid was the first ever to apply to Tufts from her high school. At the time the high school had more than 2000 kids.

So yours looks different than this?

Yes. Entire application checklist is still visible. I suspect it may mean waitlisted.

I saw someone in last years forum who was waitlisted without an application checklist being there… Hmmm, I thought waitlist too however seeing that made me wonder otherwise.

Actually, I looked too quickly. It is the financial aid checklist that is still visible.

Is there a RD decision date released yet? Anyone know what it’s been in previous years?

From looking at last years thread, it looks like it came out on 3/22 at around 4pm PST

And sadly no, the RD date for this year hasn’t been released
