[@ivystitt3626]

Your channel is so, so, so helpful!! I'm a rising sophomore and I'm really passionate about political issues and journalism. I'm looking at the college of civic life and I'm wondering if you have any info on the civic life/engagement major + peace and justice minor :). How is Tufts involved politically as a student body and how is the campus paper? Thanks again!!

[@GraceGong]

The campus is super politically involved and there's always lots of talk and political activism everywhere! Not sure about the civic life/ peace justice minor, but I think you'd love Tufts:) The paper is great, there are many publications to choose from and tons of different options for roles and events to write about!

[@ivystitt3626]

​@@GraceGong Thank you so much! This was super helpful :))

[@GraceGong]

Nate Stitt of course! No problem:)

[@pao3552]

I’ve been looking for a Tufts KZbinr for a while 🥺 so thank you for this

[@GraceGong]

yes of course!

[@gheedbizri]

Can you do a video reading all your essays(common app and supplements)?

[@GraceGong]

Yep, I was thinking about doing a video like that!

[@siarasmall11]

this is SO helpful!!! do you mind talking a little about what you wrote your personal statement and supplements on? i totally understand if not

[@GraceGong]

Sure! I may do a video on my supplements

[@duckman2480]

I got into tufts because I’m all American in track and my essays were good. I only have a 3.8 (4.7 weighted) and a 1400. I also am a tutor. Just play your cards right.

[@kerolloslabib141]

This is a great video and very useful as I want to get into Tufts, do you have any experience with computer science at Tufts specifically as a I'm a sophomore interested in computer science especially at Tufts?

[@chenyuwang8]

Super informative!!!!!!

[@GraceGong]

Thank you haha:)

[@michaelbarrett4580]

Were those your only AP classes. Trying to figure out the right balance between honors and AP. Do I take as many AP’s as possible or is there a risk with that - are they looking for the most strenuous transcript or just a high weighted?

[@ikrambichou5295]

Hey grace, I really want to get into tufts and I'm a sophmore at Revere High school. I am currently holding a 3.81 weighted gpa which im afraid is not high enough. I am currently int he middle of quater 3 right now (out of 4). I was wondering if I could get your contact info since I live in the Boston area and was hoping if you could guide me since it's honestly my dream to get into Tufts.

[@laurar.t.6985]

Hey! Thank you so much for the video! I have a question tho, in your interview did you already go with your questions or did the interviewer ask you real questions? Because a few schools I was looking in only had interviews for us to clarify our doubts

[@GraceGong]

The interviewer definitely asked me questions that they had prepared! They were pretty typical

[@nanakwameboateng3880]

Thats greatt. Is there a way you could review my tuft essays?

[@irenelockwood8102]

who else is nervous for friday?😀😀

[@anhnguyenvan8702]

I have watched your video many times and I have some questions which I hope that you can answer me: you said that Tufts is interested in global themes and unique essays, can you give me some examples and also, my story about scores or anything are put into my main essay for the secondary essay?

[@GraceGong]

I would talk about trends in the interview or your supplemental essays! I would talk about volunteering, as tufts really values it

[@talhazubair4036]

I'm planning to apply tufts as an international student this year and I'm in 11th grade. Do you think it will be a problem if I have only transcripts of 9-11 grade and give predicted grades of 12?

[@GraceGong]

That is totally fine!

[@shujayethossain6554]

Hi Does Tufts offer generous financial aid?

[@VirGinger]

I was Wondering the same🙃🙃hope they do :,)

[@ucanle6962]

Hi :> Thanks for your great video! I'm student from Viet Nam and I'm going to apply for Physics major in Tufts. Do you have any specific advice for students who want to study this subject? Thanks a lot!!

[@GraceGong]

If you just tell a story with your application I think that helps a lot!

[@taeri4924]

thank you very much!

[@GraceGong]

Of course!

[@四十-y3l]

Thank you!

[@GraceGong]

You're welcome!:)

[@basmaeldrsee]

Do they have scholarships?

[@utopianclass]

Does Tufts Meet 100% financial need of students?

[@GraceGong]

Yep tufts meets 100% of demonstrated need

[@mollybarry7227]

[@graciemattaliano4613]

omg how did it go?

[@GraceGong]

How did it go??

[@GraceGong]

I hope it went well!

[@mucadeleciyiz]

oh helloloooo how is it going the university now with corona. How u learn the lessons

[@GraceGong]

Most classes are in person now! But last year they were virtual.

[@kevinedwards2147]

My daughter also got into Tufts last year. But then they told us $80,000 please: no merit aid. We politely declined due to the likelihood of grad school to follow. Thank you nonetheless.

[@habibt3868]

can u share a pdf of your recommendation letters please?????

[@GraceGong]

I never saw my recommendations! Haha

[@uttkarshkohli9949]

First of all, congrats! Im quite interested in applying ED to tufts, but I need that little convincing factor to make me 100% sure about it. How do I go about that?

[@ramatouliejitteh1734]

Same here🥺

[@GraceGong]

Researching is the most important! If you can make a trip here when you can, I would recommend it:)

[@arvojustice]

Wow that has got to be the most basic application ever lmao

[@GraceGong]

Thanks! I guess I’m lucky it was the adcoms that decide on who gets in and not you haha.

[@arvojustice]

@@GraceGongI would prob still let you in.
