I was wondering what my chances would be at:
Tufts U, Boston U, Boston College, Northeastern U, and any other schools I’m capable of getting accepted to

You have chance at all the schools but you have better chances at BU and BC, Tufts and Northwestern are high matches.

@jman457 did you mean Northeastern or? Also, bump.

Chancing is always hard, as it’s one dimensional. Number-wise, your stats make Tufts a reach (your CR is in the bottom 25% of admitted students) but what’s harder is that it’s hard to see much of anything about you (except that your family are regular church goers) or what you have invested yourself in over the last 4 years (including summers). There is also nothing that really says why those schools (except for the obvious piece of geography). In turn, that puts even more weight on your essays to make the case for ‘why you’.

@collegemom3717 what do you think about my chances at the other schools I mentioned?

Really can’t add much. Your CR is in the bottom 25% for BC as well; but in the middle 50% for BU & NEU. So, if it was strictly on SAT & GPA I would say BU & NEU > BC and Tufts. But of course it isn’t just about those. Imo, for you it’s going to be a lot about the story you have to tell and how you fit the schools.

When you ask for chancing, is it just that you have applied and are anxiously awaiting a result? or are you looking to make some application decisions.

If you are just nervous my advice is to find a different outlet for it- playing ‘chance me’ will just buy into trying to read the future and it won’t really help!

I would say Submit only your ACT scores as it is higher than your Sat scores, and reading is not as much as a factor in admissions as english and Math are.
