<p>i am applying RD to tufts, only because if i did ED II i would get nervous that it wasnt my first choice and i was making a mistake... anyways
I have a 1310 SAT (660v 650 m)
Horrible SAt 2's :( i know they probably wont accept me because of them:
630 Bio, 620 writing, and 570 math
I play varsity tennis, track and cross country
I do alot of community service
Good Letters of rec...etc
-and my dad went to tufts, so i have a legacy
any chance at all???</p>
<p>is there a chance? well yeah, there's always a chance.</p>
<p>what is your GPA? class rank? how rigorous a curriculum? (AP classes? test results?) how dedicated are those ecs? </p>
<p><a href="http://admissions.tufts.edu/admstat.htm%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.tufts.edu/admstat.htm</a> <~check this for more details on admission stats for class of 2008. </p>
<p>1416 is the average SAT of admitted kids last year, but perhaps that legacy will help?</p>
<p>Haha averages don't mean a thing. Look at the mean range - 1340 ie means 25 % of the admitted applicants got less than 1340 i think you dont have that bad of a chance considering you being so close to a mean score + legacy is bound to help you.</p>
<p>Does Tufts have a distribution requirement?</p>
<p>Yes, Tufts has distribution requirements. I don't know what they are for those in the school of engineering but for liberal arts, go here for more info: <a href="http://ase.tufts.edu/bulletin/liberal-info.html%5B/url%5D">http://ase.tufts.edu/bulletin/liberal-info.html</a></p>
<p>The distributions for LA are 3 semesters of language, and 3 semesters of a specific culture (or another 3 for language). Two mathematics requirements, two semesters of english, two natural sciences, and two humanities, one world civ, hm. That's all I can get from free recall from my memory at the moment.</p>
<p>Is Tufts really a school for ivy league rejects? What's your opinion on this?</p>
<p>I just started a new thread on this.</p>
