<p>Recomendations:
2 that are good.
One talks about me as a nice person and being persistent and motivated.
One is from my CHEM teacher, he says im good etc, top 2-3% of his students ever and getting one of the highest grades on the American Chemical Society standardized tests, in the history of the school (60/70, where 50 counts as 100%).</p>

<ul>
<li>At least one more that I havent seen and will not see either. Probably will be good and pretty personal.</li>
</ul>

<p>I'd love it if youd chance me! Would help a lot, Tufts seems pretty great!</p>

<p>No one really can answer a chance thread, but it is important for you to know that Tufts has no major or minor in business.</p>

<p>^^ Agree with Seashore. This are really subjective things, and if you're not talking to someone in admissions, you're not going to get a good answer unless your really asking if the rest of us think you are relatively accomplished. I would say, yes you are that.</p>

<p>However, just a tip It's pretty much politically incorrect to say mental retardation in this day and age. It could be mentally challenged, cognitively challenged.. you get the idea.</p>

<p>oh i didnt know they didnt have one, it was just an idea anyway :)

<p>oh im sorry, i didnt really know what to write, i was actually pondering it a long while before I wrote that.. i guess im gonna blame it on being an international student, so dont really know all of the american faux pas yet! but thanks for correcting me, ill definitely keep that in mind! :)</p>
