<p>Hi all-

<p>Ha. Ivies? No-sir. Anyone else want to chance? I really do promise I’ll chance back.</p>

<p>Bumpin on upp</p>

<p>Eh it’s really hard to know about Tufts.</p>

<p>You certainly have the SAT scores, and I’ll assume your unofficial class rank would be pretty high.</p>

<p>With your ECs though, some of them seem like one-time 25 hour commitments, and that may reflect poorly. Sometimes breadth with a little depth can be worse than no breadth with a little depth. If you can show your passion for your ECs in your essays, then you should be a decent candidate.</p>

<p>Just based off of what you have here, I’d say mid-reach. It’s hard to know though, since I really only have standardized scores and a list of activities to go off of. If you can write well and show passion, low-reach/high match</p>

<p>Thanks so much! Yeah, it’s so tough to know with Tufts. But as for the extracurriculars- I only mention the “Relay for Life” ones because I think its important to just lay everything out on the table, and in my essays I go into depth about the ones I spend all year on.</p>

<p>Any other thoughts? (Will chance back :D)</p>

<p>i think that you’ll be a low reach, but you have a chance. you’re grades are consistently around a b+/a- range, but your sat’s are good enough for tufts. as someone else has stated, it looks like they’re 25 hr/week ec’s, but only for a few weeks out of the year. </p>

<p>Wesleyan,-match
Wash U, -high match(assuming st. louis)
Rochester,-match
Brandeis, -match
NYU, -high match
UMass,-match
GW-match</p>

<p>chance me:</p>

<p>Course load could have been tougher, but those grades are pretty sweet, nonetheless. Your SAT scores are in the range, especially for EDII.</p>

<p>Tufts seems like a low reach.
Wesleyan- high match
WashU- reach</p>

<p>I’m applying to Tufts too- Maybe I’ll see you there! Best of luck.
Chances back?

<p>Thanks so much, PM me if you want me to chance you.
I took the hardest course load I could (without taking AP math… my school just doesn’t offer many advanced classes)</p>

<p>Thanks to all who chanced me! I was just admitted ED2 to Tufts this afternoon.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get them all except perhaps GW, they are quite selective. Other than that, I think you are competitive in all the others and you’ve definately got a shot for GW. And Congradulations on Tufts!!
Chance me back for Wesleyan?</p>
