If Emory or Tufts were your top choice, an ED1 or ED2 app might well improve your chances. Your stats are good, but for all four of these schools, it’s a crapshoot. Many top applicants, lower acceptance rates. These are not safety schools.

The #1 contingency, however, is finances. If you haven’t had a REAL conversation with your parents about what they are willing to pay, that is the first order of business. FA is based on what the school thinks your family can pay, not what your parents feel they can contribute.

One of my sons went to one of the schools you listed, and I’m not sure I’d pay $80k a year if we had to do it again.
