<p>without counting other factors which I know are important for admission, are these stats in itself competitive for tufts, average or below average?</p>
<p>Your stats are about average for Tufts.</p>
<p>Admission stats for Tufts "by the numbers" are here:</p>
<p><a href="http://admissions.tufts.edu/admstat.htm%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.tufts.edu/admstat.htm</a></p>
<p>but of course Tufts isn't a "by the numbers" only kinda school as you know.</p>
<p>true that, what do you think is more important outside of academics... your E.C.s, reccomendations or essays?</p>
<p>also, do the interviews affect admission decisions... ive been considering coming down to boston to do my interview directly with the admissions representative at the college as opposed to a local alumni.... good idea or not?</p>
<p>i'd say pretty good</p>
<p>grades (most impt), test scores, ECs, essays, and recommendations - in that order.</p>
<p>how do interivews fit into that? can a on-campus interview give u a significant edge over an alumni one?</p>
<p>There are no on-campus interviews, and they're generally not extremely important (I would suppose they look at it just to make sure that you're not psychotic or to figure out if you're enthusiastic about applying to Tufts).</p>
