<p>Your GPA and test scores are unexceptional for the Tufts applicant pool.
You will be among that enormous group of applicants that are on the bubble. You might get in, but you might not. The overwhelming majority of applicants with your numbers will not be accepted (but, of course, a not insubstantial number will make it).
Not knowing what your FAFSA will look like, I can’t give you any advice regarding whether you should apply ED if FA is a big concern for you.
Good luck!</p>
