<p>Hey everyone! So I applied ED 1 to Tufts (actually I sent my app in early September....:)) and I was wondering whether or not I will (hopefully) be a competitive applicant come decision time. Opinions are awesome, I know my test scores aren't stellar, but here are my stats: </p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.76
W GPA: 4.30 (extremely competitive high school, 180 students, we don't rank)
Approximate class rank: top ~20% probably)
ACT: 31 superscored <a href="34%20English,%2031%20Reading,%2029%20Math,%2029%20Science">Yes, Tufts superscores BOTH SAT and ACT</a>. I know these scores fall within Tufts' 30-33 ACT range, but it's just above the 25th percentile. I don't know if this will hurt or whatever with the average being a 32)
Ethnicity: White, Jewish male
Potential Hook: I'm a pretty good musician, as you'll see in my resume. </p>

<p>My essays were interesting. I worked extremely hard on them and I think they all give great insight into my personality and life situation. </p>

<p>I still haven't been contacted about an interview (which really upsets me, btw). </p>

<p>Do you think I'm competitive? Or will they most likely just defer me to Regular Decision/deny me?</p>

<p>Alright, so you’re grades and test score (mean ACT is 31- [Accepted</a> Student Profile Tufts University Admissions Department](<a href=“http://admissions.tufts.edu/apply/accepted-student-profile/]Accepted”>Accepted Student Profile | Tufts Admissions)) are in the ballpark. Solid list of ECs. You have a shot, so make sure those essays convey your personality, and how you’re a good fit for Tufts. Hopefully, you’ll get good news in December!</p>
