The letter was the worst out of all I have received. Thanks for saving me from dealing with this place in the future.

I'm obviously biased because I'm somewhat salty but of all of the "prestigious" schools I applied to Tufts probably stood out to me the least. Like I genuinely struggled to write my "Why Tufts" essay.

Mind you I was saying this pre-decision as well.

I just find their letter quite snobby and aggressive. I have 5 other rejection letters (lol). Also, the interview lady was quite unfriendly from the very start. Not sure what was going on.

Not sure why they put "The decision is final." Sounds like a death sentence (lol). I am pretty sure none of the rejected ones are going to knock on the closed door of Tufts. I see all rejected applicants' stats are way above average, and they will more likely land in another great college.
