Your GPA is solid, not stellar for Tufts (although by any normal standard I think it's terrific), but solid.
It looks like your curriculum has been quite challenging, which is important.
I think your ECs are decent; unremarkable, but good enough.
Applying ED1 is important because there is no better way to demonstrate a real interest in a school.
So it comes down to your test scores. Your AP scores are not going to "wow" them, but they should be good enough to keep you in the running. Your Subject Test scores could be important. And your SATs, which are very important in the total picture, are not impressive for Tufts, but again should be good enough to keep you in the mix, and your URM status could be a big help.
I think you've got a really solid shot.
Good luck!

Thank yo very much for the feedback. Hopefully things work out. I'm hoping for a 700 in bio and a 660 in math 2

I think you have a shot. Your URM status boosts your chances significantly. Your SAT score is definitely low for Tufts though. Luckily, your lowest score is in the writing section though. I think if your essays were really unique and interesting, you have a good shot.

Good luck on your subject tests! Hope Tufts takes you!
