<p>We don’t know rank, but It’s a big reach based on scores alone. Does your high school offer other APs? If yes, rigor is also an issue.</p>

<p>Hey fellow EDer! :)</p>

<p>Well, as far as I can see, you’ve got a reasonably high chance. Your GPA is on par, and your SATs are in their range. Your ECs are highly respectable as well. </p>

<p>Apply, and be confident!</p>

<p>I, on the other hand, am a loser applicant (LOL) because I really won’t get in :((((.</p>

<p>Why?</p>

<p>UW: 3.01 (Yeah…I’m a reject.) W: 3.54…I really slacked off during HS :(((
Course Load: VERY rigorous
SATs: 2220 (730 CR, 720 M, 770 W) Maybe…they’ll love this…I only took it once.
ECs: MIT Leadership Program, Harvard Summer Program. Spanish Club in Senior Year, Science Club Junior Year
Volunteering: ~200 hours. Presidential Bronze Service Award recieved
Ethnicity: Asian American (■■■)
Essays: I really don’t know! :frowning:
Recs: Um…well, I can’t see them…so I AM hoping…because my AP Bio Teacher loved me</p>

<p>Tufts is my DREAM school. My biggest REACH. Maybe since I applied EDII… But I won’t get in. You, however, have a TERRIFIC chance! I’m rooting for you. </p>

<p>Have fun as a Jumbo #Tufts2016 :)</p>

<p>And I’m left to wail and curse myself…</p>
