<p>it looks like you have just as good of a chance as anyone! It's great that you have so many journalism focused accomplishments and activities, it shows that you are really passionate about it. your SAT IIs look really nice too. Apply early, and you have a great chance of getting in. As for regular, i'd say that you're a great applicant but it's a really competitive pool and anything can happen. Something to work on: more meaningful volunteer work, nothing in your resume shows a commitment to service (unless it's one of the mysterious acronym activities), which is something that Tufts emphasizes even more than most of its peer schools.</p>
