I applied tufts ED and I am going to find out rather soon, but I am still quite uncertain as to where I stand. Tufts is unpredictable when it comes to acceptances, as I’ve heard, so I would love some last minute feedback!

New England resident
I attend a fairly prestigious public HS
GPA: ~4.4 W (unsure about what it is UW)
Have taken many of the honors/AP classes available
Testing: 27 ACT (how negatively would this affect my chances?)
Rank: top 10%

ECs/accomplishments:

Editor-in-Chief of school newspaper
National Honors Society
Spanish Honors Society
Officer of SADD
Founder of our school’s World Affairs Counsel, as well as a leader
Co-founder of Debate Team
Class Representatives
Students for Global Change (President soph year)
Volunteer at local library
Volunteered at a village in Kenya for over 3 weeks
First place at a MUN conference
Worked on 2008 Presidential campaign
some others, but these are probably some of the more significant ec’s

I am going to major in International Relations, and my college essay is very good (as I’ve been told). Teacher recs are great

If I do get rejected or deferred, what are my chances at William & Mary/BU/GWU?
Thank you!!
