Hi guys!

I am a currently a junior looking to apply to Tufts University, but I question my suitability and would not want to waste money if there’s a snowball’s chance in Hades of me being accepted.

Let me first say that I was planning to apply early decision (if at all).

My SAT scoress look like so:
700 Math
680 Writing
670 Critical Reading

My GPA is 3.75, and places me in the top third of my class. My course load has been rigorous.

I have pursued two central extracurricular activities throughout my high school career, these are:


My own pursuit of the Norwegian language (that is to say I taught it to myself), which I am now highly proficient in. This is the activity I have been most passionate about for personal reasons.
I participate in both the local and regional chess clubs, and volunteer to teach middle schoolers how to play chess.


I hate to rely on these next two items so much here, but I will add them to give you a better picture of who I am.

I am legacy to Tufts University.

I am a Native American URM. I have a tribal enrollment number.

So guys, I’d like to know whether or not I’d be wasting my money in applying to Tufts. Thanks!
