Risk it?

These are decisions that make the college process tough. Now that schools have ED2, you can defer that decision of whether to apply to Tufts ED or to Harvard SCEA. You can have your cake and eat it because you can apply to Harvard SCEA and then apply to Tufts ED2 if deferred or rejected to Harvard. You are considering another try at Harvard over ED2 at Tufts That’d one of the hard decisions you have to make in this process. We can tell you what we’d do in the same circumstances, but ultimately it’s your decision.
