I just paid my deposit to enroll in the Class of 2012 at Tufts University (April 27, 2008 at 11:27 PM EST). Months of research, writing, paperwork, and blogging have finally come to this happy beginning.
Thank you for your help. I couldn’t have done it without you on this journey, no matter how small a role you played. Special awesome shout-outs to Kim for constantly pushing me and asking questions, and Chris for suggesting I start a blog about college admissions.



Congratulations Ricky, all that hard work has paid off. Obviously you have more hard work ahead, but it is a lot of fun too!
Congratulations and best of luck with your pursuits.
@Geoff Manning: Thank you! It was hard work, but now I actually have some meaningful work coming. It’s going to be great.
@Rob Bailey: Thank you. Same to you, as well.
Congratualtions Ricky, It was a joy reading your experiences thru the admissions process, wishing you all the luck for a great time in Boston the next four years
@Joe Gaylor: Thank you for reading my story! I hope you’ll stick around. I’ve got a few more college admissions posts to deal with before I refocus the blog.
My daughter graduates from Tufts in May. She loved it. Was admitted to Brown also but preferred Tufts. No regrets. Good choice and good luck.
@Tashi: I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for reading my blog and commenting, I appreciate it.
