Jianmin Qu, Dean of the School of Engineering
Dear Parents and Families,
I hope you enjoyed your visit last month for Parents and Family Weekend! I had the pleasure of meeting some of you and sharing in your pride at our students’ accomplishments. As Tufts newest dean on campus, I take particular pleasure in sharing my “freshman” year with this year’s incoming Class of 2019.
Our first-year class of 1,360 students, 211 of whom are engineers, is once again one for the record books. Whittled down from 19,062 applicants, only 16 percent were offered admission, setting a fifth consecutive record for selectivity, overall. In engineering, we were even more selective at 15%!
