<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what Tufts tends to like for music/language/maybe anthropology majors: </p>

<p>*GPA: 4.09 weighted (going to rise)
3.82 unweighted (same)
*Rank: 31/317
*SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
*ACT: Taking it June 10th.
*9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 2 B's on my transcript and 1 b+), 10th grade i took 2 honors but got A's across the board, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors class.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/interesting facts:
*People to people student ambassador program (summer of 2002)

*Played piano for high school orchestra in 9th grade

*Played piano/sung in numerous nursing homes for the past several years.
* (I might be writing for the local "free" newspaper to get experienced w/writing).
*Anime Club in 9th grade.

*I will be doing an apprenticeship w/Pittsburgh Opera (for high school students) next year!</p>

<p>That's an intersting list of activities! How good are you at piano and singing? At Tufts we have numerous A Capella groups, each of which is the only one of something or the first one of something.</p>

<p>I think you should to retake the SAT. I'm not saying you couldn't get in, I'm just saying you'd give yourself a much better shot if you did. However, your grades may offset this if you took the most challenging curriculum your HS offers.</p>

<p>wrathofachilles, I am I guess a decent singer. I began taking opera in December, so I am somewhat new to the whole pro singer scene, but I am getting better as time goes by ^^</p>

<p>You know what, I've retaken the SAT twice, as well as testing out the ACT for kicks--and i was NOT HAPPY when I finished (however well i even finished it haha). I thought it was quite possibly harder than the SAT, and I just don't do well on standardized test..i don't know why, but oh well.</p>
