<p>(Put this in the Tufts Section as well)</p>
<p>My name is Nick. I am an upcoming college senior that lives in Dallas, Texas. I would really like to know more information on Tufts. I am a white male that speaks NEARLY fluent in Spanish. I am aspiring to study Spanish and expand on languages, do another study abroad, be in a competitive setting, and be around a major city (or in it...Boston). </p>
<p>I recently did a year abroad in Chile on a student ambassador scholarship with Rotary International. This took my whole junior year (hence, the lack of AP tests taken and high GPA) - Rotary Student Ambassador to Chile </p>
<p>My ACT as of now is unknown. I want to say worst case scenario that I will score a 25. I would be happy with a 27-29. That would make me happy.</p>
<p>My class rank from sophomore year was about 25/550 (assume it will be in the same range)... with about a 3.7 GPA (colleges will see that since I was absent junior year from high school in the US and my GPA will not be updated until after senior year...</p>
<p>Participated and succeeded in Varsity Swimming 9th, 10th, 12th grade. Earned letter jacket 10th grade in the 500 yard free. Placed 12th in Dallas/Ft. Worth Regionals</p>
<p>Participated in Student Council 9th 10th 12th</p>
<p>Work experience: Worked in Pizza Place 10th grade to make money for Chile. And just hired to be lifeguard (12th).</p>
<p>AP Tests Taken: AP World History (passed witha a 3...) Soph. year. First AP Test taken. Have about 5 next year. Don´t think they will serve me since I will already know if I am rejected or accepted. </p>
<p>National Honor Society - 12th grade (couldn´t participate junior year - Chile -was accepted Junior Year.</p>
<p>Community Service - about 40 hours to 3rd grade students wanting to learn English in Chile. </p>
<p>I would probably have a very polished application with many AP´s if I voted against going to Chile. I´m glad I voted against it, however, it will hurt me in the long run. Would Tufts look down upon that? </p>
<p>Is Tufts interested in the creative and risky type of person or interested in the 4.0´er that is enlisted in every ec possible? What do they want?</p>
