Hey guys, if anyone that is going to tufts could answer a few of my questions that'd be great!

Tufts is my #1 choice college right now and I need to decide whether or not to apply for ED. The only reason that I'm hesitant about this is that I know that my family wouldn't be able to afford it without a pretty large amount of aid. I'm going to apply for FA, but if I don't get enough, and I apply ED, then...I'm basically screwed haha. So does anyone have any advice about applying ED based on these circumstances?

Secondly, I'm wondering how likely it would be for my to get into Tufts, either with or without ED. Here are my stats:

I'm female, chinese, attending a large public school in texas

SAT: reading 740/math 680/writing 740 (2160 composite)
SAT IIs: literature 680/us hist 660 (retaking, probably math I instead of us hist)
Weighted GPA/rank at middle of junior year: 3.99; 149/1288 (both GPA and rank are probably a little higher now)
AP scores: world hist 4/ english language 5/ spanish language 4/ art 3
I am taking the ACT next week and anticipating a 31-33.

throughout grades 9-11 i've been pretty much an a/b student, a lot better in english than in math/sciences.

This year i'm taking:
dual credit econ/gov (counts as honors)
ap art history
ap english lit
ap spanish lit
ap statistics
ap physics b

any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
