<p>Your ACT is low and your profile is good but average for a Tufts applicant. I would say that applying RD for you is a reach. </p>

<p>Your class rank of 19 doesn't mean much if we don't know many people are in your class. Care to tell us?</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>19/487.....</p>

<p>is it a reasonable reach?</p>

4

<p>Sure! Work hard on the essays as they're the only thing you can work on now.</p>

<p>It is rare to see someone who is not taking AP Calc to be in AP Physics (and you're only in Precalc).
Your AP scores are not impressive, with one or two being poor, and your ACT is extremely low for Tufts.
On the other hand, they might like the fact that you have really challenged yourself.
I wouldn't bet on getting in, but anything's possible.
Good luck.</p>
