Inside Admissions

Aaron Watts

Assistant Director of Admissions, Tufts 2018 Grad, Bon Appetit Enthusiast

I grew up in the landlocked state of Colorado about halfway between Denver and Colorado Springs. In my college search, I exclusively looked at schools no more than 10 miles away from the ocean. When I arrived at Tufts, I knew I had found a place I wanted to stay for a while. As a student, I studied Chemical & Biological Engineering, wrote for the Tufts Observer, and gave over 100 campus tours. My fondest memories at Tufts range from building a spectrophotometer from scratch to spending late nights laying out a magazine to marathoning Game of Thrones with my housemate during the summer. Now as an Admissions Counselor, I get to share everything I love about Tufts with prospective students.
