Hey!! Thanks so much for replying to this!! I can definitely clear up some things and answer some of your questions.

As far as APs go, unfortunately I think I took all of the APs that my school offers that coincide with my academic interests. I took every AP History that my school offers, 1 of 2 of the AP English that they offer, and the only AP Language course that is offered (other than AP French of course), along with AP Stats. Other than those classes, the only APs my school offers are STEM related (sciences, math, economics, etc.). Sadly they don’t offer classes like AP World History, or AP Human Geography, both of which I wish I could have taken.

As far as Demonstrated Interest, I did officially tour Tufts at the beginning of my junior year, way before the pandemic. I also have done at least 3 online sessions since then (including a virtual tour, a Q&A Session, and just a regular information session.) I unfortunately did not get the chance to request an interview as I missed the deadline.

I don’t believe that I have any hooks really. Only one that I can think of is that I’m Jewish, but I don’t know if that counts.

I’ve heard that about Tufts’ foreign language programs. That’s part of the reason I want to go there so badly - because they have a very good Spanish program and I either want to minor or double major in Spanish. That’s what I wrote my “Why Tufts” essay on, and I connected learning Spanish with the playful and academically curious environment that is notorious at Tufts, and why that program would be a match for me as a Spanish learner.

Thanks so much for your feedback - I really appreciate it! Good luck to you guys well!!!
