Chances at Tufts

<p>Re-Posting.</p>

<p>Tufts, in-state</p>

<p>Tufts stats:
76% out of state
27% accepted out of 14,308
V 610-710
M 640-720</p>

<p>Top 10% of class -- 72%</p>

<p>Major: Mechanical Engineering</p>

<p>Immigrant from Southeastern Europe. Lived in the States for 4.5 yrs.
White Male</p>

<p>SAT I
1st time -- 680M 570V
2nd time -- 680M 690V
January retake, SHOULD (keyword should) be able to break 700M, expecting less than 690 on January retake V</p>

<p>I feel way smarter than a 680 in math and probably do not deserve the 690 in verbal that I got, but I am not complaining. Probably some sort of a unexplicable phenomena, like why do they ALWAYS land on the peanut butter side.</p>

<p>SAT IIs:
Math IIC: 740 (started shaking when the test started) retaking in December)
Physics: Should get a 700+ (keyword: should)
Writing: I consider myself a pretty good writer, should be able by some miracle too pull off a 620+</p>

<p>GPA: 3.860
Class rank: 14/(284(?))
Been a little lazy in high school.</p>

<p>Will have 4 APs by end of HS.
Taken APUSH exam, got a 4.</p>

<p>Nearly all honors or AP classes since freshman year (was badly misplaced freshman year, becaue it was my first full year of school in the US)</p>

<p>Senior year classes & grades:
AP Calculus (officialy AB, will be taking the BC exam): 94 (this term: 96)
AP Physics C: 96 (this term 107)
AP English: 100 (class is really easy) (this term 95)
French IV: 95 (this term same?)
Chemistry: 86 (senioritis here) (this term 92-96)</p>

<p>EC's:
Foreign Language Club
Mathletes
Tennis (since 10th grade -- playing V)
Soccer (only in 10th grade)
NHS</p>

<p>Out-of-school:
Co-founded a small NP organization (IRS 501(c)3 tax-exempt status pending)
Worked as a cashier since 10th grade, about 20-25 hrs/week
Ran friend's store (managed personnel, expenses, kept track of cash and alike) for 2 weeks</p>

<p>Currently weighing the essay topic between being shown as a strong leader with ingenuity or describe difficulties in moving from Europe to here</p>

<p>Recs should be good/great.</p>

<p>Any tips on what to put into the app, for the interview, the essays?</p>

<p>Is it pointless to include the honor roll crap?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Bumping this bad boy up.</p>

<p>Really like Tufts more than my other choices (RPI, WPI, BU, Northeastern, UMass).</p>

<p>Please rate 1-10, with 1 being guaranteed acceptance and 10 being why even bother.</p>

<p>Bump again.</p>

<p>Okay, well I would say a 5...idk if that helps much but you're definitely in the range and have good EC's...</p>

<p>but what do I know anyway?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!</p>
