<p>Hey Voguepanda, </p>

<p>I know you! ;-)</p>

<p>Your SAT I/II are a little low, but you're not too far out of the ballpark. You have a great rank that helps you, and says more than a standardized test does, anyhow.</p>

<p>My advice: Make sure you do a great job on the Tufts supplement. Be creative, write something striking -- and write it <em>well</em>. Also, note that Tufts' mantra is "active citizenship" -- see if you can find out more about that concept, and perhaps you can work it into your "Why Tufts?" essay. </p>

<p>You'll love IR here -- trust me, I should know. ;-)</p>
