<p>How do you have a W GPA of more than 1 point higher than your UW GPA? You get an extra point for APs and classes taken at a college, even if you had taken ALL your classes as APs or at a local college your GPA could only be 1 point higher than your UW GPA. I'd say you got a great chance though at Tufts ED. Too bad Gtown is better.</p>

<p>i really dont know, my GPA is calculated really weirdly. for example, i have a 4.67 out of 5 even though i've never gotten a B in an AP class. thats just what it said on my transcript.</p>

<p>and yea, georgetown is probably better, but i want to major in economics and international relations separately and SFS doesn't let you do that which is SO QUEER!!!</p>

<p>oh well, thanks for your reply! nice eye btw</p>

<p>Aside from location, I don't believe that G-town really is much better than Tufts for IR -- especially with Fletcher right there.</p>

5

<p>nice ECs. I bet you're in. Like 85 to 90%.
Question: ED at tufts binding? Much better % acceptance?</p>

6

<p>are you all crazy? the OP is highly competitive even at the Ivies! 100% in ED at Tufts.</p>

<p>Yeah you'll get into ED @ Tufts. I think that although Georgetown is better-known, Tufts is a better place to go to school, plus Tufts kids are, as a whole, more down-to-earth and less arrogant.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate for ED at tufts is a little over 40%, while the acceptance rate for RD is a little below 20%.</p>
