<p>Can you compete in athletics in college in your sport? Vassar and Tufts, being D3, might be willing to look more closely at your attributes if you are a decent runner/swimmer. It is just another way to distinguish yourself from others with similar stats. Brown is D1, so you’d have to be a state qualifier to be interesting to them.
Look at the times on the websites of Vassar and Tufts, see if tyou look comparable, and fill out the recruiting form…
If you crack 700s on your SATs, or 30 on the ACT, I think you look good.</p>
