<p>Hey everyone. I really love Tufts and was wondering if it's worth it for me to apply EDII (aka, would I have a decent shot at getting in lol). I was just rejected from Duke ED so it sucks but everything happens for a reason, and Tufts is definitely somewhere I can see myself going to school. So, chance me?</p>

<p>Recs: Teacher one should be good. Guidance counselor rec is probably pretty generic. I also have an additional from my adviser for the school newspaper (should I send this to Tufts?)</p>

<p>Essays: Pretty strong. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I say get someone new to take a second look at your essays, make sure you’re doing this for the right reasons and not out of emotion, and go for it. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your stats look good. I think you have a great shot. Don’t worry about Duke. My son didn’t get in to Yale last year early action. He’s now at Tufts and is absolutely loving it.</p>
