<p>Dixie early decision is binding so I would have to go. No tufts syndrome.</p>

4

<p>Although Tufts waitlists to test if students are serious or not, I throw that term down for any school that has a ridiculous amount of waitlists on their graph. I understand it isn’t exactly accurate. You can be waitlisted with ED.</p>

5

<p>You still think it is a high reach. It’s my #1 choice and they do not require ACT or SAT. I did great on the interview and I got ethnicity working for me. What can I do to improve my chances?</p>

6

<p>Taking the interview, assuming you did well, brings that down to a Low Reach / Reach for me. (Assuming it was good.)</p>

<p>Honestly, your stats are great for WF not considering your ACT. The admissions there are tough, and there will be a lot of people like you applying. ED gives you a better chance but you still have to understand how many people they decline with equal or better stats than you.</p>

<p>That, and I tend to chance people more on the critical side. It varies person to person. Keep doing what you’re doing and retake the ACT for colleges in general, not just WF.</p>
