Trumpeting
“Trumpeting” is the most common form of elephant communication. You know the noise. In fact, there is a solid chance you have put your head on your arm and flapped about trying to replicate it. As an Admissions Officer for Tufts, I have witnessed Bendetson’s first trumpet blast as members of #Tufts2016 sparked to life.
The moment decisions go out is highly anticipated in our office. We sit at our computers hopelessly refreshing the Class of 2016 Facebook group waiting for new Jumbos. While the arm flailing is kept to a minimum, there are a fair number of “ooohs,” “awws,” and an inordinate amount of clapping from Matt Alander
Decisions were officially released at 3:00pm EST and the first twitter post on behalf of #Tufts2016 was made at 3:03pm from a proud mother.
Guess what? We’re proud too! At 3:10pm , applicants were emailed to notify them of the decision release and 7minutes later (a new University record) we had received our first deposit.
This marks a tremendous time for the class of 2016. For the first time, we stop talking at you and start talking about you. You’re Jumbos and we’re Jumbos. I could trumpet just typing that!
