<p>I don’t think I would call Tufts a super reach with a 1480. I realize that your grades are lower than Tufts might expect, though. I don’t see why Purdue, U. Washington, U Miami, BU and Ohio State aren’t quite safe with a 1480. It seems like you could drop a few of those unless you especially like them and maybe add one more reach. Colby should be a low reach or match—I think 1480 is over their 75th percentile. It’s the only small school you have, I think. Maybe that’s also a place to add one more. Also maybe look for schools that take SAT IIs instead of SAT I (i.e. Middlebury). You would need one more score like the two you have! I don’t know much about the California schools and whether you need all those.</p>
