Tufts University Chances

I think you have a good chance. My only issue (or really my college advisor’s issue) is that Tufts tends to look first at the numbers… the admissions department is a lot less likely to “look at the whole student” than at other schools, so don’t count on your awesome extra curriculars to do much for you. Also, when I visited, they said that they get 4,000 applications a year and you know how many people they have reading them? 10… so that means 400 applications/person, and clearly when you are reading that many, you cannot seriously consider someone based solely on ECs. Just thought I’d put in my two cents…
