General Comments: Class of 2013, here I come!</p>

<p>Hi guys!
Congrats to everyone who got in and deepest sympathies to those who did not.
I'm glad this is a forum in which we can all be supportive of one another, regardless of the admissions decisions.</p>

<p>In that vain, I think that it would be best not to list all of our application details here.
We showed our best selves on the apps, no need to further posture or perform.</p>

<p>That said, I can't wait to see you guys on the hill in the fall!!!
Congrats everybody!</p>

<p>Prieston: </p>

<p>I think students just post their statistics in a thread so that others who are interested in the school can see who gets accepted, and what their credentials are. No harm in doing so. I used to look up the past threads when I was interested in Tufts, so I am guessing there will be students who do Early Decision II and Early Decision next year who will be interested.</p>

<p>edit: I totally see what you're saying, abkid. Right off the bat it seemed a little negative, but if it helps people in the future then I agree that it should be posted.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

<p>Stats:
SAT: 2090
SAT IIs: Spanish: 720, History: 690
GPA: Like others, my school has odd grading scheme so I don't know how its calculated. I'm probably in the B+ to A range
Rank: We don't rank, but probably in the top 10%
Other stats:
Subjective:
Essays: Tried to focus on global perspective, empathy for others, and the circumstances that made me think in terms of the other two.
Teacher Recs: Didn't see them, but they were from teachers who have seen me grow a great deal.
Counselor Rec: See above
Hook (if any):? Unsure what this means
Location/Person:
State or Country: CT, USA
School Type: Private, Episcopal
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender: Male
Other Factors: School Newspaper Editor-in-Chief, lots of leadership opportunities, lots and lots of extracurriculars
General Comments: So pumped to be a jumbo!!</p>

<p>Yes, please post stats! I am hoping to gauge my chances although I know it really depends on my classmates performance. (I'm an RD candidate)</p>

<p>Awww.. dchen! I had to laugh. But I am so sure it's not even true!! And if it's true or not, you have an excellent sense of humor. :)</p>

<p>@ nbg, I totally agree. I often check these threads to help me chance myself - I have yet to do a "chance me" thread because I think I can judge myself based on these stats.</p>

<p>However, I do take them with a grain of salt, because of course essays & other subjective factors do matter a lot.</p>
