<p>thats for all four years. sat combined was 2160- m:660, v:730, w:770. hook would be community service- i've been really into it in and out of school almost all four years. thoughts? also looking at bowdoin, tufts, whitman. into the outdoors, not too preppy, good community service/study abroad programs, econ major...thanks!</p>
<p>Tufts seems like a good fit for you, both stats-wise and if your interest is community service and study abroad. Newsweek named Tufts the number-one school for study abroad (about 70% of juniors go abroad) and the number-one organization on campus is the Leonard Carmichael Society (LCS) which is basically a community service umbrella organization. Tufts is also one of the top feeders to the Peace Corps (it was number-one a few years ago; don't know if that's changed since). The Econ department is one of the largest, and you might be interested in double majoring with Peace & Justice Studies or International Relations (the latter considered one of the top in the country). You should also look into the Tisch College of Citizenship & Public Service. If you mention it in your "Why Tufts?" essay you're golden.</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome, is in present-day, a myth. It was the idea that Tufts rejected over-qualified students because they knew they wouldn't come to Tufts and go to Harvard instead, and the like. Note that many other schools similar to Tufts used to do this as well. However, that no longer holds up today, at any of the top 30 or so schools in the nation. If you deserve to get into Tufts you will get in.</p>
