Well, I would say to give the slot to Tufts and not BC, because it’s Tufts and utterly fantastic in every imaginable way. I’ll suggest Brandeis as a good school for you to apply to as another reach.

With your GPA, your SATs are almost too high - it may beg the question of why you can have a 1480 but not be in the top 10% of your class. Unfortunately, coming from Massachusetts won’t help you (at all). There’s plenty of top 5% kids who apply. Your ECs and such are excellent, so that will help you a lot.
