I definitely think you have a chance, but the SAT score is on the lower end for Tufts.
Your course rigor will work in your favor and you seem to have some nice EC’s. Good luck.

The SAT score and class rank are going to hurt your application, and I agree that your course rigor is definitely a bonus.

If your essays are quite good then you have a very reasonable shot of getting in ED. Are you applying to Arts and Sciences or Engineering? I’d say you are much stronger for A&S because your SAT Math is on the very low end for engineering at Tufts.
