[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts is a weird one. My older daughter was waitlisted last year and she was accepted to Northwestern, Rice, Cornell, Williams, Amherst. She really loved Tufts, did the interview and visited. [/quote]

They don’t call it the “Tufts Syndrome” for nothin’.[/quote]

Yeah. 2024. My kid was accepted Pomona, Hopkins, Brown, Georgetown and WL Tufts.  I expected it though because I had read of you don’t ED1 or ED2 and have very high stats yiu will get “yield protected”. [/quote]

Not true. That is probably just a "cope" we as parents tell ourselves. It's hard to see our kids waitlisted when we think they are so accomplished. I think that Tufts really doesn't focus on high numbers alone, they really emphasize fit and look deeply at course choices and ECs (including civic life). They do have LAC-style distribution requirements and are very intentional about having students (even in engineering) take at least 1-2 semester of courses in everything: art, humanities, social science, science, math, etc. For my DC, this was a bonus and what he particularly liked but he's a kid who has an intended major but is also curious about so many other subjects. He cot into his top 2 top choices yesterday - tufts and pomona - and he's leaning tufts but will have some hard thinking ahead!

Congrats to your DC - seems like you have some nice choices on the list too! [/quote]
