<p>ACT composite: 29
UW GPA: 3.85
W GPA: 4.30</p>
<p>Hard high school curriculum...AP in calc, bio, us gov, Macroecon, English lit, French, and European history. </p>
<p>Scores so far: Bio- 4 US gov- 4 Macroecon- 4</p>
<p>With these stats, what schools should I consider? Are they good enough for a school like Tufts?</p>
<p>…bump? Anyone???</p>
<p>Go to google and type in Freshman Profile or Common Data Set and then the name of the school you are interested in. This will give you an idea of what kind of scores the freshman class had.
However I tried this with Tufts and I can’t find anything very informative.
Does your school have Naviance? That can let you see what kinds of scores kids from your school had that got into Tufts.</p>
<p>Bbuumppp…anyone else?? This place is my dream school!</p>
<p>Wow your stats are just like mine… O.o</p>
<p>The ACT is low (below 25%ile) for Tufts. [College</a> Navigator - Tufts University](<a href=“College Navigator - Tufts University”>College Navigator - Tufts University) </p>
<p>What can your family afford?</p>
<p>University of Michigan could be a low match bordering into reach.</p>
<p>I had 3.87/4.35 and 1390/2030/ and ACT 30. But they don’t care about test scores as much as GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input. My school is a feeder for UMich- we had 22 apply last year, 17 accepted total: 6 applied EA and all got in. However, I LOVE Tufts and really would do anything to get in there, so I was thinking about going ED because I can afford it/don’t need FA. </p>
<p>If my score doesn’t go up, is Tufts really too much of a reach?</p>
<p>As long as you have a safety you are really OK with attending then you can apply to as many reaches as you like. Tufts will be a reach due to the score and because they admit <25% of applicants. But you can dream.</p>
<p>^ Really? That’s really upsetting that my test score is my downfall. I thought applying ED would strengthen my chances, no?</p>
<p>This doesn’t really answer the question of how much a bump you get from ED at Tufts but it does provide info on the applicant pool.

<p>No, that didn’t really answer my question, sorry. Anyway, what other schools (preferably private) do you guys think would be a good fit for me? (Please no state schools- I already know I’m applying to Ohio State and Michigan).</p>
<p>What are you looking for in a school? There are >2000 where your stats would work.</p>
<p>Just some well known, pretty reputable schools that I would fit in at.</p>
<p>Well known for whom? In many areas Tufts isn’t terribly well known. Would you like big time sports? Urban?</p>
<p>Reputable mainly for academics. Thanks!</p>
<p>bbuumppp??? Anyone else out there???</p>
