ADVICE
LET’S CONNECT! Decisions, decisions.Whether you are in the beginning of your process (deciding where to apply) or at the end (deciding which school to call yours for the next four years), we are here to help! You may be wondering how you can make an informed decision, and it’s rather simple––stay connected with us! We figure you have a bunch of questions, so read below for some answers. At this stage of the pandemic, most of us have mastered the art of social distancing, staying home, and mainly avoiding physical contact with many people—including the ones we love most. For you, prospective student, this challenging time is exacerbated by the fact that the college search must continue while we continue to stay apart. Though it sounds cliché, there have been some silver linings. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that even though we are asked to stay apart, it doesn’t mean we can’t stay connected. Even if traveling to campus is not possible at the moment, it doesn’t mean you can’t get to know us. So we welcome you to join us in the new world that is still mostly virtual. In a way, we have never been so accessible to as many students all over the world. Staying connected means taking advantage of our online content, including reading blogs, attending
student panels, listening to virtual information sessions, and many other opportunities that are in the works (stay tuned!). But remember, staying connected means that you allow yourself the opportunity to breathe, too. It is hard to engage virtually if you are bombarded with so much content 24/7. We know it can be consuming and draining all at once. So while we will outline ways you can stay connected to Tufts and learn more about us, we trust you will balance it out with self-care (we even have tips for that in a blog!). We know that nothing about living through a pandemic has been normal, but we know you are trying your best. And please know that we are rooting for you during your college search and college application process—good luck! Here are some ways you can connect with us during your admissions experience:
HOW CAN I CONNECT WITH MY TERRITORY MANAGER? On our website, you will find the “Meet the Admissions Team” page. You can scroll down to find the person who reads applications from your region. If you are in Massachusetts and can’t find the specific person for your area, feel free to call or email our office.

HOW CAN I MEET THE DIVERSITY ADMISSIONS COUNCIL?
The Diversity Admissions Council is a group of current students who work closely with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to plan on-campus and virtual visit programs, create web content, and represent Tufts at events for prospective students. We invite you to contact these students to learn more about the many facets of diversity represented on our campus.
