<p>What are you thinking my chances are? Thanks</p>
<p>I am assuming: (1) that your 3.79 GPA is unweighted, and (2) that you are applying RD, so tell me if these assumptions are incorrect.
Your GPA is competitive IF you are taking very challenging courses, but I notice that you are silent on this. How many of your courses have been Honors or APs? If you took APs as a junior, how did you score on the tests?
Your SATs are low for Tufts. Your SAT Subject Tests in Math and US History are competitive, but the bio is low. The good news is that Tufts requires only 2, so they will likely ignore the 650 (assuming that you are a liberal arts major). Your ECs are fine.
All that being said, you are a competitive candidate, but not in one of the stronger groups. Your chances of admission are probably between 25 and 30%.</p>
<p>I have a question, I've been College-Confidential-ing Tufts a lot recently, and I see that you're always on top of the responses, so thank you on behalf of prospective students like me. I have a question, though, do you have an affiliation to Tufts University, are you an admissions counselor, or something in that nature? I was just wondering out of curiosity. </p>
<p>Thank you for your responses, though.</p>
<p>I'll never tell; that's the beauty of anonymity-through-pseudonyms on this site.</p>
<p>I will tell you that I am not an employee of Tufts nor am I a professional admissions counselor. </p>
<p>By the way, when I said that your SATs were low for Tufts, I did not mean to suggest that they were too low; they are not. They are competitive, just not high enough to be an element of your application that will impress Tufts; you will need to do that with other parts of it. As I am sure you know, the current SAT mean at Tufts (i.e., for this year's freshman class) is in the 1440 range.</p>
