<p>Hey, please chance me, im really anxious about getting into tufts.</p>
<p>Im doing EDII to the school of Engineering</p>

<p>im hoping to lean on my ACT score, Im guessing my SAT's are sub-par</p>

4/450 in my class
all aps, colleges courses, a few IB's</p>

-head officer for my schools NHS
-tutored math

-a bunch of other stuff i listed</p>
<p>-recommendations are amazing (my teachers had me read them) and my essay brought tears to my guidance counselor and english teacher.</p>
<p>how am i doing? any info is much appreciated!!!!</p>
<p>What is your unweighted GPA and what part of the country are you from?
Your ACT is obviously very strong; I wouldn't have sent any SAT (1 or 2) scores, because they can only hurt you.
WIthout seeing how good your essays are, it's tough to assess your chances; based on your "numbers" they are fair, but your essays and recommendations might boost them.</p>
<p>actually, as luck would have it, i havent sent any of those actual score reports yet. There all listed on my common app, but actually having the score report sent hasnt been done yet. Should I send tufts only the ACT and not any of the sat work? wouldnt that hurt me cause theyll see that i didnt send it to them? </p>
<p>Also, i come from a rural high school of about 2100 that only sends maybe 1 kid to ivy league per year. Any APs it offers ive taken besides bio</p>
<p>The SAT scores will not impress, and since you don't need them, I don't see a reason to send them when you have such strong ACT scores.
You didn't say what your unweighted average is, but the fact that you come from a large school that sends only 1 kid a year to the Ivies suggests that your class standing - which is obviously terrific - is not comparable to being ranked in a high percentile in a highly competitive school.
That being said, I still think you are a solid candidate, especially applying ED. Did you apply somewhere else ED1?</p>
<p>nope. I just didnt have a clear answer to what college i wanted to apply to in time. Now though Im fully confident in tufts, especially after the visit and a few other things. My UW is 94, and I got a 5 on the IB Physics test (if thats relevant at all)</p>
