<p>SAT I: 1600
SAT II Writing: 790
SAT II Math IIC: 780
SAT II U.S. History: 720
ACT: 34 (34/34/33 Math/34)
AP Calculus BC: 5
AP U.S. History: 4
AP Physics C Mechanics: 4</p>
<p>GPA: 3.94 unweighted. A (A-, A, or A+) in everything:</p>
<p>School: difficult, private, small (365 students in 9-12)
Location: North Shore of Chicago; lots of applicants to selective schools.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Not bad at all, but middle of the road for schools like Tufts. President of a club, captain of varsity team, 7 varsity letters, bassist, school band, anonymous editor of satirical newspaper, long-distance runner.</p>
<p>Essays: Not bad, but not perfect.</p>
<p>Reccomendations: Probably pretty good, but I didn't read any of them.</p>
<p>Interview: not too good.</p>
<p>Intangibles: white, Christian-background male, both parents went to college, upper-middle class.</p>
<p>We don't have too many 1600s that matriculate here, though they do exist if you look hard enough. If you expressed a great deal of interest in Tufts, I'm pretty sure they'll accept you. If you didn't...well then I'd say your chances look just like those of everyone else - unpredictable.</p>
<p>I know Tufts is my reach...any insight on just how far I'm reaching?
