Use this section as a quick application guide before you decide whether Tufts University belongs in your reach, match, or safety group. The goal is to keep admissions fit, affordability, and official requirements in view at the same time.
Check your fit before treating it as a match
Treat Tufts University as a higher-selectivity target and balance your list with match and safety schools instead of assuming one strong number is enough.
