Nearly every first-year applicant to the university will have the opportunity for a personal interview in his or her local area with a member of the Tufts Alumni Admissions Program (TAAP). Once the Tufts Supplemental Form* of the application has been submitted and received by the admissions office, the student will be contacted by a member of the local alumni committee to schedule an interview.
*Applicants must opt-in on their Tufts Supplemental Form in order to continue with the interview process.
The sooner you submit your Tufts Supplement the sooner you can schedule your alumni interview!
While not required, the alumni interview enables students to highlight their interests and achievements, and prospective students are encouraged to participate. All interviews for admission to Tufts are conducted by the local area alumni interviewers, thus allowing the applicant the opportunity to meet with women and men who have experienced Tufts.
In those areas where a TAAP committee has not been established or where the volume of interviews exceeds the capacity of the committee, candidates should be assured that this will not diminish the chance for admission. Please note that an earlier submission of the application creates a higher likelihood of being offered an alumni interview.
