<p>Chance it.</p>
<p>1510 is around 50% line for Harvard Schmarvard and MIT. And you can't have a 4.17 UW GPA. Those two are reaches, though lack of y chromosome may help at MIT. Columbia rejects almost 94% in RD. Those three are reaches because of extremely low admit rates, though you have a chance. Others look godd, though Penn is tough.</p>
<p>In at BU, Tufts, C-M, WPI, and UMass-Amherst</p>
<p>Harvard, Columbia, and MIT are crapshoots, but you have a good shot</p>
<p>In response to the 4.17 uw gpa. Yes, i do have a 4.17 uw gpa, according to my school's system. My school is 4.3 A+, 4.0 A, and 3.7 A- without weights. If I were using an A-,A,A+ = 4.0 system, I would have a 4.0.</p>
<p>I have had no Bs on my transcript.</p>
<p>Are you applying RD everywhere?</p>
<p>I'm not sure. i thought i was applying ED II to Tufts, but now I'm not so sure... I still have until Jan 1 to decide, I guess.</p>
<p>Acrylicz: What do you want to study? Why was/is Tufts your top choice? I'm a senior here; if you have any questions (Tufts-specific or otherwise), please PM me, I'd love to help out.</p>
<p>P.S. I've also noticed you've posted asking for help on your essay; I'm a Writing Fellow at Tufts, which basically means I help people write better papers, essays, etc. Also, I just love writing/reading. I can help you there, too.</p>
