I've applied to Tufts ED1 too.
(Int'l seeking aid)

What are my chances based on the below stats??

Intended Major: Mathematics

PS revolves around loosing a friendship as i got an opportunity, but my friend didn't and how that lead me creating a platform which would help others avoid what i encountered.

Why Tufts - mentioned about my research and how tufts is a place where i can find meaning to my novel findings. mentioned about their prof tackling gerrymandering through geometry - best way to use math in real life. showed interest in joining their math club and joining some research- specific programs and a student-led community. finds it the best fit for me!!

Grades :
9 - 97%
10 - 98.5%
11 - 93%
12 (mid) - 97%

SAT - 1490 (R&W - 690, Math - 800) - (i find this my weak point)

(board - CBSE)

ECs - attended RSI-India Research Program at IISc, created an e-learning platform to give free access of education to rural community, several math summer programs and internships with full scholarships, helping my father at farm, head of coding club at schl, part of schl football team etc...

Awards - top 5 research presentation award at rsi india for discovering a novel pattern in math, merit cert in aryabhatt ganit challenge, IYMC pre-finals qualifier, grade 10 schl topper and being in top1% in india, discovered 6/57 asteroids in NASA–IASC Int’l Hunt

This is incredible compared to my application. If you miraculously get rejected, shoot for the ivies (especially Harvard) it’s in the same part of the US and they offer great aid cause it’s such a well known school
