I really don’t understand these Tufts “chance me” threads. So much of the applicant’s chances hinge on non-numerical factors, namely, the essays, and especially the extra essays. Your numbers put you in the game. Now if Tufts is your first choice, you have to figure out how to make yourself stand out in the essays you write in an authentic and compelling way. Show Tufts how you will be a significant addition to the entering class. Describe a genuine passion and how you came to it. Tell them things the teacher recs, numbers, etc. can’t convey. That’s what will make the difference – not a few points on your GPA or test scores. Good luck.
