Your story is very touching, very affecting. If everything pans out as you write, you should (!) get in, despite a GPA that is lower than the mean GPA, which Tufts traditionally accepts. I love that you’re clearly so bright and altruistic. As well, I would draw on your life, suffering/triumphs, in your essays for your essays are what give over the all-important, non-data part of you. I would imagine, as well, that you would be given a full scholarship.

Finally, I am so sorry about how hard and painful your life has been (but very admiring of your spectacular performance, thus far). if you are still enduring abuse, there are resources for you from Child Protective services (get the number from 411) to the admin./staff at your school. It is not okay for you to be abused!

Let us know how it goes for you, when the time comes. And don’t know if this is an added inducement regarding Tufts–but know that since Tufts’ inception, it has always admitted Jews, Afro-Americans, and women. Most top-notch universities and colleges cannot make such a claim.

I wish you the very best of luck!
