<p>I just applied to Tufts ED and I got in. I would say you have a very strong chance as an ED applicant. Your only real weakness appears to be your GPA (I understand about your high school). You might want to try and boost your regular SAT as well which basically means improving your writing score to 700+ (this will be easy if you kill the essay). Your ECs look AMAZING! . . . however National Youth Leadership forum on medicine doesn’t really count for anything unfortunately. Keep working hard and you’ll surely make it. </p>

<p>Let me know if you want tips for SAT Writing. I improved my score from 640 to 790 after learning how to approach the essay properly (my essay score went from 6 to 11).</p>

<p>thank you so much…is there anyone else???</p>

<p>Your interests and experiences seem very well-aligned with Tufts’ emphasis on globalism.</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot. I agree that your GPA and test scores are a bit low but your amazing ECs might be able to compensate. Good Luck!</p>

<p>All about the essays. You have a shot. Best of luck!</p>
