Eligible applicants will have demonstrated academic excellence in their college work and must meet the following criteria in order to be considered for Early Assurance:
Cumulative Science GPA >=3.7
Cumulative Total GPA >=3.7
All courses in Biology, Chemistry and Physics (including labs) >=B+
All other courses >=B
Eligible applicants will have completed at least two semesters of biology, two semesters of general chemistry, and one semester of organic chemistry by the end of their sophomore year. Three of these courses must be completed with a final grade by the end of the fall semester of sophomore year in order to be eligible to apply and all five courses must be completed with a final grade no later than the summer semester following sophomore year in order to be eligible for an offer of admission to the program. AP credit does not count toward these course requirements (so upper level coursework is expected when this applies). All coursework must be completed at Tufts University (or, for the Maine Track, your home school).
Applicants must report their college entrance exam score(s). Most accepted applicants to the Early Assurance program have a combined SAT Critical Reading and Math score above 1400 or an ACT Composite score above 32.
