Be careful - take a rigorous schedule but not one that will penalize your mental health and / or your GPA - i.e. if they’re too much for you.

I go back to my first comment - don’t worry and do well.

Your rank is not controllable in the sense of - you can only get As. Yes, rigor will impact your rank in a weighted system - but not in a good way if you get Bs. So taking 6 classes but not mastering them does you know good.

You can only control what you can - and you could actually hurt your rank if you overwhelm yourself. You could also wreck your mental health.

There’s a lot of people who don’t go to top 20 schools that could. There’s also a lot more successful people in life (by rank, title, money, etc.) that didn’t go to top 20 schools that do.

Oh- and they are both “excellent” schools and I’m not sure what rank you are using - but neither Tufts nor Gtown are a top 20 school in the most used ranking - but both are fantastic - especially in internation/foreign service majors.

Be the best you that you can be - and it will all work out.

Don’t kill yourself mentally - because guess what- get your rank up to top 5 or 7% - and 80-90% of those kids are still getting rejected.

Good luck.
