Planning to apply to Tufts for regular decision in 2025 and wondering what the timeline looks like. When should I expect the admissions results to be released, and how should I prepare while waiting?
While exact dates may vary from year to year, Tufts typically releases Regular Decision notifications in late March. After you submit your application, it's important to keep track of any updates in your application portal, including any changes to your application status or additional requests from the admissions office.
In terms of preparation, it's key to maintain your academic performance and continue your involvement in extracurricular activities. Keep yourself focused academically, but also make sure to enjoy your senior year. It can be easy to get preoccupied with waiting for decisions, but try to keep busy with productive activities.
At the same time, start looking at your other college options, just in case. Have back-up plans ready and continue to apply for financial aid or scholarships.
Another vital step is researching more about Tufts, such as available resources, programs of interest, and campus life. This is beneficial in two aspects - firstly, if Tufts is your first choice and you get accepted, you'll already have some insights about the college. Secondly, if you get waitlisted, you may be asked to submit a letter expressing your continued interest and detailing any updates to your application. Having a deeper understanding of Tufts could help you write a more compelling letter.
Nonetheless, patience is key. Keep your mind occupied, stay positive, and be ready for any outcome. Good luck with your application!
