<p>Recs: one GREAT another good.</p>

<p>Wrote essay about war in Bosnia and what's it been like going through it. Mediocre writing quality.</p>

<p>Tufts Interview was... allright. He said that my background will benefit me, and that he will be "pullin' in for ya". Told the interviewer guy I would have applied ED if I knew that I could afford to go there (which is the truth).</p>

<p>Well it's not too late to write them a letter discussing how you would have applied ED if you could. If you didn't discuss that in your application, I highly suggest you write it now before decisions come out. It makes a huge difference. Trust me.</p>
