<p>I'd suggest taking another SAT II to replace your Spanish score because even if it goes up as much as you predict, it's not all that impressive. Take the SAT II Writing, seeing you did so well on the SAT I. </p>

<p>Also, have you done civic/community service in your area? I see your "Cultural Relations" involvement but is this hands-on, working in the community? Tufts is big on active citizenship and that sometimes makes or breaks a person, despite awesome stats. (Check out the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service website).</p>
