some comm. service (75 hrs..)
I took a college spanish course at tufts over the summer</p>
<p>You actually have great chances, aside from that GPA. Try to get some more As this year. If you get rejected it'll be because of that. Have your grades been rising? Have you gotten anything lower than a B?</p>
<p>My grades have def. been on a positive trend line since my first year, i was getting 3.5's then 3.6's then in my junior year i got high 3.6 low 3.7
and i did get two C+s </p>
<p>from my understanding, Tufts very much likes ED applicants. You certainly have more of a chance than not applying, and it is conceivable that you would get in. Just write strong essays, and you have a great shot.</p>
<p>I don't know if you'd get into Tufts if you have C's... even if you're a double-legacy. And ED isn't so much of a help anymore either; the number and percentage of applicants accepted through the ED program has declined exponentially in the past few years.</p>
<p>Are you male or female? Many of the lacs have fewer male applicants so it is a little easier for a male to be accepted. Several males I know have been admitted to Dickinson with your stats. Conn college likes ED applicants and I think you would be likely if you went ED. VP of your class for several years is a terrific EC. I believe your ACT score is stronger than your SAT scores and you may be more competitive submitting just the ACT. Consider checking with admissions at a few of these schools to see how they view an ACT of 30.</p>
What, does 2 C+'s make someone an auto-reject at Tufts? ... I find that somewhat inconclusive, lol... it depends on what classes you got them in (it might not look AS bad in an AP/honor course), your total courseload, how that compares to other students in your class, and etc</p>
<p>But based on your other stats, I'd advise you to raising your SAT 100-200 points atleast, if you want to outweight your somewhat low GPA (weighted? unweighted?) And your SAT IIs are important as well, study hard to raise those scores! Your ECs are pretty good though - try to get "glowing" recs and write amazing essays :) I'm applying to Tufts as well, so best of luck!</p>
