<p>Drop me a PM or email - I’m a chemical engineer Tufts grad. </p>
<p>BME is not good - it’s only offered as a second majour. Instead, do chemical and double in biological or biomedical engineering. </p>
<p>Getting into Tufts is hard; getting into the engineering school, harder. Boston won’t help, but won’t hurt. If you were from Medford or Somerville, you would have a better chance, but that is because Tufts likes to be good to the kids in the community. You might be helped by the fact that Tufts is probably really aware of the quality of your high school, but a similar kid from Mississippi, Tennessee, or the like will get in before you (because there just aren’t many kids from those areas applying, and so many kids from Ma. apply and attend).</p>
