Junior Looking at Tufts

<p>Hi guys!</p>

<p>I am a currently a junior looking to apply to Tufts University, but I question my suitability and would not want to waste money if there's a snowball's chance in Hades of me being accepted. </p>

<p>Let me first say that I was planning to apply early decision (if at all).</p>

<p>My SAT scoress look like so:
700 Math
680 Writing
670 Critical Reading</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.75, and places me in the top third of my class. My course load has been rigorous. </p>

<p>I have pursued two central extracurricular activities throughout my high school career, these are:</p>

<ol>
<li>My own pursuit of the Norwegian language (that is to say I taught it to myself), which I am now highly proficient in. This is the activity I have been most passionate about for personal reasons.</li>
<li>I participate in both the local and regional chess clubs, and volunteer to teach middle schoolers how to play chess. </li>
</ol>

<p>I hate to rely on these next two items so much here, but I will add them to give you a better picture of who I am.</p>

<p>I am legacy to Tufts University.</p>

<p>I am a Native American URM. I have a tribal enrollment number.</p>

<p>So guys, I'd like to know whether or not I'd be wasting my money in applying to Tufts. Thanks!</p>

<p>Not a waste. Decent chance.</p>

<p>I would’ve said it’s a high reach for you until I got to the end part of your message…
Don’t worry, you’re a shoe-in.</p>

<p>I would go for it. Best of luck!</p>
