<p>You can think what you want, but I think it is a reach in IR, which is a very popular major at Tufts and a little harder to get in to than, say, English. Think of the “average” more as a suggestion than something you can stake your life on. Most applicants with your stats get turned down by Tufts. It’s just a problem of number of seats in a classroom. They don’t want all the students that are mirror images of you; they want to build a well-rounded class and don’t really care much about the great student that you are. This isn’t personal; it’s statistical. You could get into ALL of your reaches, but statistically that is not likely based on the info I have. I have to turn in. Good night.</p>
