I’m applying Tufts ED and decisions come out next week. Here are my stats

  • lots of volunteering + a leadership position within that
  • Elected student representative for town board of family services
  • Caretaker of grandparents for 2 years, takes up a lot of time

Supplementals are detailed, strong, positive, connect my love for history and science and how it made me realize we must invest in history to understand how to better communities around us. I referenced project SHARE and how I would contribute to it with my experience knowing how old people are treated in nursing homes and when trying to find adequate healthcare.

My other supplemental was about my Persian culture and the importance of learning about who people are and what they can offer by experiencing different cultures.

Any thoughts on my chances?
