<p>it's official. I don't have a chance in hell.</p>

3

<p>^ Me either, jeez.</p>

4

<p>Wow that seems unusually high. Is this really true for the class of 2009?</p>

5

<p>I quote directly from the Tufts Daily that I picked up at Matriculation. </p>

<p>--There are 1,367 entering freshmen, compared to 1,280 last year.</p>

<p>--The average SAT score for applicants was 1392 and, for those admitted, 1420, compared to 1368 for those enrolled last year. </p>

<p>--The middle 50 percent of SAT scores rose to a range of 1330 - 1480 from last year's range of 1210 - 1410. (Comment - that means the bottom of the range went up 120 points)</p>

<p>--Eighty percent of enrolled students were in the top ten percent of their high school class, up from 74 percent last year.</p>

<p>WOW...my only hope of getting in is that I live in Georgia...geez.</p>

7

<p>I am quite nervous about my chances now, they seem to be hovering around 20%, oh well, it's better than 0 I suppose.</p>

8

<p>Jesus. Nearly a 50 point jump in the SAT scores. Grrreeat. ED2 here I come.</p>

<p>The paper was wrong about last year's range, it was really 1290-1470. I think the data they said was last year's is several years old. So it wasn't really that huge of a jump, but the scores have risen pretty dramatically. I read the freshman class's average SAT score is over 80 points higher than the seniors!</p>
