<p><strong>reposting this from the general chances forum bc I didn't realize there was a Tufts-specific forum</strong></p>
<p>Um I guess I'll summarize my credentials idk</p>
<p>-I am a junior.
-Enrolled in a satellite school program at my school called the Scholar's Center for the Humanities. It's like special honors and AP classes within a regular high school. I take an english and history class every year as part of the program then one elective that changes every year. (Honors Process Skills I which is basically an analytical english class, Honors Process Skills II which is a computers class, Honors Modern Art in America, and Honors Philosophy.)
-I take all honors and AP classes outside the program as well.
-I get mostly A's and B's.
-I'm in a variety of clubs. (Mock trial, literary magazine, art club, planning committee for the local Relay For Life, Gay Straight Alliance, and National Honors Society which literally means nothing since so many people get in but whatever.)
-I did band freshman year and plan on possibly rejoining senior year.</p>
<p>I plan on taking part in the dual enrollment option with Tufts and SMFA. I would major in Asian Studies or Japanese at Tufts and possibly minor in Film Studies. At SMFA I would major in Animation.</p>
<p>My main concerns:
-My grades. I feel like they may not be good enough for Tufts since I've heard it's really hard to get into??
-The dual enrollment process. In order to get into the program I have to first apply to Tufts and SMFA separately then apply for dual enrollment. I want to know if having a portfolio and/or planning to take part in dual enrollment will play any part in my admissions process and maybe make up for my grades being lower than other people who would be attending Tufts. Like I guess I'm wondering if there's anywhere on the application to indicate wanting to dual enroll. idk</p>
<p>That's basically it um idk if I really trust most of you to give an accurate response bc you're mostly high school students but whatever thought I'd ask.</p>
