<p>Hey I think you have a good chance at Tufts. Showing interest is really important to them. Yeah well anyways I am also applying to tufts but good luck!</p>

<p>Looks like solid chances. Might also want to look at some LAC's like Holy Cross-1 hour from Boston very good school with more athletic/school spirit than Tufts. Also Holy Cross likes students from West Coast, might get better financial package.</p>

Your stats look good, and as others have said, applying ED seems to significantly raise your chances at tufts. I have the same predicament as you with my freshman - junior GPA rise (nearly the same scores) so let me know your results next week (i'm sure they'll be good:) ).</p>
