Inside Admissions

Tufts Admissions Team

Jane Blackmer

Think "Bill Nye the Science Guy", but with more pop culture references

How would my friends describe me?

"At first, you seem like any other mashed potato, but the chives give you an extra kick. Once people get to know you, they realize you're sassy and adventurous." -Jumbo Beat, "Which Tufts Dining Hall Potato Are You?" Quiz

Proud member of Tufts class of 2018 from Richmond, Virginia. I eat, breathe, and major in biology. And yes, I do have a favorite amino acid. It's phenylalanine, in case you were curious (I know you were). When not obsessing over Charles Darwin, you can find me in da club Tisch Library.

I'm an avid reader of Shakespeare and Vonnegut, a firm believer that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and an enthusiastic supporter of the oxford comma (see what I did there???).
