When you say ‘passing’ your APs, I assume you mean above a 3, but that doesn’t help us much. Please provide the names of the AP courses and the specific scores for each, as that will help us help you better.

Also, when you say club president, club activities director etc. it is important to know which club(s) you are talking about. Please provide this as well.

This information aside, the best advice I can give you is that you seem to lack the business spike that elite colleges are looking for to admit. As in, you don’t seem to have any ECs relating to business specifically, or anything showing that you’ve specialized in that in HS. Perhaps consider changing your intended major to economics, as a lot of things can be spun to relate to that. For example, if you organized club events including finances, you can relate that to economic planning (for the highly competitive business schools you mentioned, you’d need to be a lot more specific in your ECs)

Also, econ programs tend to be in the regular undergraduate colleges or colleges of arts and sciences, which for several on your list means the liberal arts curriculum, for which colleges prefer students with more diverse qualifications anyway (which helps you). You can always apply to change to the business school later.

Also, Tufts doesn’t have a business school or major even. I suggest applying to Emory ED since it is liberal arts in its college of Arts and Sciences, which also houses the econ program, and offers a liberal arts curriculum. I think it is the top choice you would probs have the best chance at. Hope this helped!
