<p>^This is the Tufts board...so obviously it's chances to Tufts. lol</p>

<p>To thisideup09, the fact that you're an African American will really help. Plus you have pretty nice stats. The SATs are on the low side though, but you said you are retaking so I think that if you can get another 100-150 points higher, I think you'll be in decent shape.</p>
