Tufts ED and First Quarter Senior Year Grades?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tufts University

<p>I'm wondering about Tufts and how they evaluate senior year first quarter grades. So Tufts does request first quarters (which is weird, most colleges don't require them) and I'm curious as to how they see them. I'm worried I didn't do well enough this quarter. Throughout high school, I've had only 2 B+s and 2 Bs–*but this quarter, here are my CORE grades: </p>

<p>AP Euro–<em>A
AP French- A
Honors physics- A-
AP English- B
AP Calc AB- B- </em>******</p>

<p>The B- in calc is what I'm worried about. How will these awful first quarter senior year grades hurt my chances of admission to Tufts for ED 1? Do I even need to send these before they make a decision? Dan, maybe you can help?</p>

<p>As far as I know all colleges require 1st quarter grades for ED. At least they did last year. If all your other stats are up to par I wouldn’t worry about B-. Calc is a challenging course. It’s not like you took easiest classes and got all Cs.</p>

<p>When you say “other stats up to par,” could you specify a bit?</p>
