Chance Me, if you please

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tufts University
1

<p>Hello there, I’ve decided to put out a “chance me” thread. I'm interested in applying to Tufts ED; I love the city of Boston & opportunities Tufts offers there, as well as Tufts' interest in actually reaching out to change the world. I am interested in majoring either in math education, or going into business. I have always been involved in the arts, and continuing my love is important for me; I admire the many musical groups at Tufts. I also am very involved in church and volunteer opportunities...and so I humbly ask you to chance me for Tufts, early decision or regular as well.
Thank you very much.</p>
