<p>Other Info:

Not Strong in Sciences and test taking. Focus in social studies, international affairs and politics</p>
<p>Do you plan on running at Tufts? If so, and a coach is interested in having you on the team, you’re most likely in. Otherwise, it’s a reach. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply - lots of people get into their reach schools.</p>
<p>Well I never really intended in running in college, mostly because I thought it was varsity athletics, im more of an average runner. In my peak running shape I ran a 5:48 mile and like a 13:48 2 mile and a 20:58 5k, not varsity times by any means. I pride myself on my cycling ability where I have much more talent and motivation</p>
<p>What level of math are you taking?
Have you taken both chem and physics? If yes, which years? When you say “not strong in science,” just how “not strong” are you?
Beyond Human Geog and Psych, what are your other courses this year?
What is your class rank?
Have students from your school with comparable transcripts and test scores been accepted to Tufts? (Does your school have Naviance, so that you can check the track record?)</p>
<p>I am currently in what my school would qualify as Honors Calculus, what they call it is Calc. with Applications
I tried physics but had to drop out because I started to do very poorly and I could not understand all the mathematical calculations.
Beyond my AP’s I am taking essentially the rest of the necesary credits that I need to graduate, so Honors Chem, Calc. with Apps., and regular english 12
We have Navieance but i dont use it too much</p>
<p>If your school has any sort of track record re kids applying to Tufts, I think Naviance could give you a better idea of your chances than what you’ll get here.
WIthout the benefit of that, I would stick with my original thinking, because you are only taking two AP courses and they are among the “softer” APs, and (absent a hook) your test scores are weak for Tufts.
The good news is that very soon there’ll be no need for seeking “chances,” because you’ll have your answer.
Good luck.</p>
