<p>Everything looks great except that it doesn’t seem you’ve done any community service – Tufts is real big on active citizenship and that’s really missing from your profile. </p>

<p>Your SAT II-Lit score is also low, and I would say just don’t send it, but when you send your scores, you can’t pick and choose which one schools see – they show all your scores, however many times you’ve taken them (or at least this is how it was when I was applying 4 years ago; so someone correct me if I’m wrong).</p>

<p>Are you applying early? It might help with your run-of-the-mill (for Tufts applicants, anyway) credentials (debate, mock trial, and culture groups are about the most common ECs).</p>

<p>Also, are you applying for the dual-degree program with the New England Conservatory of Music? That might interest you.</p>
