<p>My D, also AA is applying as one of her top choices. She was selected to attend the Voices of Tufts Diversity program next week - 2 days on campus! It will be her third visit; really trying to show demonstrated interest.
Her stats are similar to yours - 2150 SAT, 31 ACT, 4.2 weighted GPA, all AP and honors classes, numerous leadership and team captain positions.
Good luck!</p>
