<p>Final Note -
Having been near Tufts my entire life I have been able to experience various events there, whether it be tours or attending open lectures. Hopefully my essays show that I have an extremely strong passion for Physics (my intended major) as well as a desire to study at Tufts. I also applied to MIT but honestly, a piece of me says that I would consider turning down MIT for Tufts.</p>
<p>Chance away! Constructive criticism please, I'd rather not feel too anxious about my chances.</p>
