<p>Hi, I've posted my full resume so far, and partially projected data and am wondering if I would have a pretty good chance if I apply ED or EA or w/e they call it for tufts that isnt RD if available? Also evaluate my chances if I apply RD please and offer advice if you want about what I should do to make this school a match.</p>

<p>demographics
*I am an Asian Indian Male
*From a competitive public high school in Oregon, Beaverton High School, which was also rated the best AP school in Oregon, so yeah, its a smart school.
*student body at school = 500+</p>

<p>what I look for ranked in order of preference:
1. Want to study medicine so would like a strong biology or anat/phys program
2. Perfer a medium-small institution
3. I hate going to a school that no1 knows about, or is considered to be "average"
4. I dont care very much about the location. I'd perfer, however, to be close to a large city, but not neccessarily IN the city. A nice campus works 2 tho </p>

<p>The Numbers/ECs
*Freshman year:
4.0 with honors in 2 classes for both semesters</p>

<p>*Sophomore Year:
3.8125 overall for both semesters
Bs in AP Chem 1st sem, Precalc 2nd sem, Social Studies 1st sem</p>

<p>*Junior Year (projected)
Human Anat/Phys-A,A
IB Bio HL 1-A,A
Spanish 3-A,A
IB Calculus-A, B
IB Psychology-A,A
Team Sports-A
IB English-B,B
IB Tok 1-B</p>

<p>*assume that I will finish hs with around a 3.6 or 3.7 UW since I'm assuming worst case scenario
*class rank UW right now = 38/515. Weighted = 30/515 (will go up because not many kids have taken hard classes yet)
*IB Diploma Candidate (to be)
*Will take AP exams in addition to IB exams, so I could be AP Scholar w/ distinction or just AP scholar as well.
*Varsity tennis 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Team 4 years (will have 4)
*World Quest Trivia 4 years (will have 4)
*Science Club Treasurer (1 year)
*Science Club VP (2 years)
*Math Club VP (2 years)
*Portland Youth Philharmonic (3 years)
*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place freshman year
*OIMT Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant sophomore year
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 175-200 hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 50+ volunteer hours)
*should get at least 30 on ACT, but am aiming for a 32. SAT I'm shooting for 2100 at least</p>

<p>It's possible; your geographic distinction would probably help.</p>

<p>Hey you have the academics going for you, but seeing that Tufts is considered one of the most civically-minded schools, I'd try to get some community service in as well. Everyone who applies to Tufts is a good student, but the ones that get in stand out as active citizens.</p>
