<p>I know there are students who were waitlisted at Tufts that were accepted at Brown this year. Tufts says they look holistically at a students application. Your essay will need to be outstanding and grab admissions attention. You should shoot for a score of above 700 on each section of SAT. Community service, work experience or other experiences outside of school are super important. You will need to have your own unique “voice” to be accepted at Tufts. This is just a Tufts Mom opionion… for whatever it’s worth.</p>
