early decision

<p>I know i have some time to think about this, but at Tufts would it benefit me to apply early decision? I loved the school before my visit and even more now afterwards. I will have excellent recomendation letters, a 3.7+ GPA with a challengeing curriculum with at least 5 AP's, and Test scores that should be decent...im still waiting for the most recent results. My EC's are really really unique as well. Does it make sense to apply early or should i not and keep my options open?</p>

<p>as you said, you have time for this decision and it's a big one to make because it's binding, so take this summer and the months before the deadline to ensure that tufts is your first choice. take EVERYTHING into account: how much you like the school, academics, location, financial aid circumstances. it all gets factored in. and ED at any school will boost your chances of getting in.</p>

<p>great thanks for the input. The more i think about it the more i want to apply...the question is exactly what you said though. Do i really want to bind myself to the school. Thanks!!</p>
