<p>I’m more or less in the same boat as you; great test scores, not so great GPA. </p>

<p>Perhaps you’re a little less qualified in that category, but assuming you’ve been taking all Honors and AP classes, coupled with your excellent extracurricular activities, gives you a great shot at Tufts and a decent shot at Brown.</p>

<p>Though, admissions this year has been particularly painful, as kids in my school that seem overqualified in every aspect imaginable were still rejected from their top choices; this only validates how much of a crapshoot getting into Brown (and other Ivies) can be.</p>

<p>I took all Honors except for math, science & spanish my freshman year. At my school, AP isn’t offered until junior yr. As you can see above, I took 5 AP’s. Thank you for your reply!</p>
