<p>“One last thing, I know GPA isn’t the only factor, but what is the average unweighted accepted GPA from what you have seen? I plan on maintaining my grades and hopefully bring them up.”</p>
<p>GPA is very hard to pin down. I went to Tufts website and found the profile of 2012 students but there is no gpa mentioned. My guess is that is because each school’s gpa means something different and admissions has to figure out what that is. What I did notice was that the numbers reported for SAT were all over 700, ACT 31, and profile did focus a bit on class rank (mean admitted students were in 6% with 85% in top 10% of graduating class). What that tells you is that those two criteria are pretty important to Tufts. For example, at my school the average gpa for accepted students is 4.2W which is the top 10% of students in a graduating class from my HS. What you need to know is where your own gpa fits within your own graduating class. That will give you a better idea.
Have fun at the summer program!!!</p>
