<p>seems like you have pretty insane sat scores, (esp for tufts) and a good 5 on ur psych exam.. I would think you would DEF. get a lot of scrutiny for your amazing scores, and would probably get in after that.</p>

<p>Okay you guys I took the SAT again and got a 1500 (v800, m700) does that improve my chances???

<p>You look like a strong candidate except for class rank. IMHO, applying ED2 will seal the deal for ya.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I definitely agree with jjsmom- if you do ED2 your chances are extremely good. Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh and congrats on those great new scores =)</p>
