Hey everyone I am also applying ED II to Tufts and I figured I might put in some of my info here to see if I might have a chance. I’m from Florida and although I’m not a first gen college student I am a first gen American. I will be applying for financial aid (and my demo started need is very high). I have a weighted 4.54 GPA and I only submitted my ACT score which was a 31. I applied to the A & S school and I’m kinda leaning toward studying environmental science but I’m not sure yet. I have great E/C’s and I letters of rec. I just recently did my interview last Friday. Does it seem like I’d have a chance?
Hi! Your states look pretty good, ACT score is definitely in middle 50% (30-33 is Tufts’ ACT average) and your GPA looks great (not sure how it is unweighted, it might help you to take a look at that). Having good extracurriculars and essays really really helps with Tufts, so make sure a lot of effort goes into essays for sure. The financial aid may hinder your application a bit, as Tufts aims to meet 100% of demonstrated need, but I’m not exactly sure on how that might affect you. It looks like you have a pretty good chance, depending on if your ECs are great and essays are stellar. Good luck!!
