<p>You presumably want an honest answer, so here it is: barring some hook that is not apparent from your post, I would not expect you to have a strong shot. Your test scores will be among the weaker applicants, from which probably less than 10% are admitted. Moreover, you might find yourself struggling to keep up with classmates.
So not only would I recommend that you have a “Plan B,” I think that it might be the better plan for you.</p>

<p>if you are a junior then you should take get some SAT tutoring and get your scores up</p>

<p>if you’re a junior, work on your sats a lot. I started out with scores around your range (1770) but after classes and studying I got a composite of 2010. also bring up your sat subject tests to at least mid-high 600 range. your grades seem amazing so keep those up, and keep up your extracurriculars. and make sure you express interest in tufts! go visit, interview, contact the swimming coach (getting recruited helps your application a lotttt).
if you’re a senior, unfortunately with your test scores it would be an uphill battle. and although your academics are strong your scores are way below average, and the tufts regular decision pool is very difficult (no doubt filled with many 2400s). nonetheless, best of luck!!! we’ll all end up where we’re supposed to!</p>
