[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess they gave admission for those who they felt will accept. 
Increased my hopes for Ivies next week after Tufts reject for GPA 4.45 / 1580 / Great ECs / NMF and seeing lower scores getting into Tufts[/quote]

Demonstrated interest is "considered" on their common data set. It was a top choice for my DS, but he didn't want to ED anywhere. So he did whatever possible to show his interest short of applying ED. The things he did was: 1) visit in person, 2) attend a couple of virtual sessions, 3) attend the school rep session at HS, 4) attend a "mock class" on a cool topic of interest and referenced it in the essay, 5) focused a lot on writing a very customized "why tufts?" essay.

He had great stats (3.9 uw from a strong private school, 1550 SAT, leadership, etc. With Tufts, they really do want to see demonstrated interest. It doesn't have to be ED, as more than half the spots are offered RD.[/quote]

Where can I find out about the ‘mock classes’? We visited this week and Tufts is my DC’s current favorite so they definitely want to engage with as many possible ways to connect and demonstrate interest. [/quote]

"Mock classes" are offered virtually during a month of programming they plan in the Fall. I think it was called "Fall into Tufts" and I believe it was in October. If your DC signs up for email from Tufts, they will get an email about it with many reminders to sign up if interested. [/quote]
