You definitely have a shot. Your HS GPA is low for Tufts, but the fact you showed an upward trend and continued to pull off great grades in college with a good load of courses says a lot! Since your charity is the only thing you’re involved in, I’m assuming you’re super involved? I would make sure to talk about this if you have a chance to in the app. Let them know how involved you are/how important it is to you. Educational development is an extremely hefty task, even for very established NGOs. Make sure to emphasize your involvement.
