A Tufts 1+4 fellow with a newfound love for cozinhas

Hi! My name is Leo and I’m actually 5000+ miles from Tufts at the moment. I am in beautiful Santa Catarina, Brazil, eating good food and struggling with Portuguese—all the time. I’m originally from Mexico but before I came to Brazil, I lived in Tennessee, where sweet tea and low signal is the norm.
Although I’m not currently attending Tufts, I did go through the admissions process and I hope to shed some light on that and Tufts 1+4. Who knows? If you’re reading this during your college search, we could be classmates as I am now in the class of 2022.
