Profile of the Class of 2013

At Tufts, we have a student body made up of more than numbers.  Our students have good grades and test scores but we look for more than that when making a class.  We admit students who are well rounded in all areas of their lives- academics, social, and extracurricular.  Read  Dean Coffin's address about the class of 2013.
