<p>A 1740 is extremely low for Tufts. Even lower for Brown. Not good for BC or BU. Don’t know about Northeastern and Suffolk.
The fact that you have schools like Brown and Tufts on your list make me wonder, though - is there some big “hook” in your application?</p>

3

<p>well… not exactly a hook but there aren’t alot of trilingual students who try for college + GPA and world history scores are good…</p>

4

<p>Have you thought about the ACT? if you score high enough on your ACT then your SAT doesn’t matter</p>

<p>Apart from your SATs, your application looks pretty good. See if you can still try the ACT to get those scores up. With the SAT, I’d say Tufts is a bit of a reach, Brown is a huge reach, BU and NU I think you should be OK and you’re definitely in at Suffolk.</p>
