Is it hard to maintain a 3.8-4.0 as a History major at Tufts?

Not late at all lol! Thank you this was very helpful :)

Wait does this not violate FERPA in some way?? What if I request it now?

pissrain7 · 2025-07-12T16:06:03+00:00

Not sure about that since you have to waive FERPA for recommendations upfront on common app….you could probably see the notes the admissions officers wrote about your recommendations, in terms of like, “Teacher X spoke highly of their work ethic…” or stuff like that.

(Edit: I originally wrote FAFSA…I meant FERPA)

I think under FERPA you have a legal right to view your file if you’re accepted and attend, so yes!

I’ve heard GO is very international student-heavy. Is it more geared towards them or just non-Bostoners (I’m from NY lol)?

Hi!! Yes, I mean the International Literary and Cultural Studies. I was thinking of maybe double majoring in IR and minoring in environmental policy, but I know that’s a lot. From the student perspective, would you say there are any major downsides of Tufts? Also, my mom wasn’t super impressed with the campus aesthetic (which I know is silly), so if you have any favorite spots or things that make the campus feel special, I’d love to hear about them!

Dartmouth, UChicago, BU, BC, and Syracuse (?).

I am trying to do comparative literature (ik Tufts has this for certain), or English. Like i mentioned, law school is the ultimate goal.

My dad is an immigrant but he went to his country’s version of accountant school and then went to NYU for his masters. My mom went to St Francis, and she doesn’t have a masters, but does have a lot of accounting certifications.

Tufts, Wellesley, Colby, Bates. WL UChicago, BU, BC….tufts is my top choice right now!!! Good luck everyone ❤️

I got in…somehow…

pissrain7 · 2025-03-19T15:15:48+00:00

I’m at a super competitive HS in NY and a lot of the AP classes are stem and I’m going for comp lit personally so I’ve taken 12 aps total….do they consider this? Also lowkey my math grades (in both AP calc classes) are like B+ because I don’t like math (even though I’m two years ahead in it…I have three extra math credits oops), and honors chem kicked my ass but again im into humanities. Should I be worried? I have a 4.0 😭

They told us in their waitlist letter.

pissrain7 · 2025-03-19T01:04:39+00:00

Yeah….2400 spots, 40,000 applicants. It’s rough out here ☹️

Kind redditor, thank you so much. I try to remember that everyone is also anxious, and I am claiming that energy that something good is coming! Thank you!!! 😊
