Hm. Low GPA + High SAT + High AP. Slightly different situation. Help?

This is a problem for me since I come from a quite well-known school (as in, known for its high standards), therefore I am unsure as to what colleges will think of the GPA.

The slight difference of this problem in my case:
Normally they would disregard it given high SAT I + II scores and high AP scores. However, coming from this school of mine means that they know and can judge me from my GPA. In such cases, I’m wondering if it’s still possible that they will ignore the GPA (3.5 ish) since its a glaring contradiction. There is no rank system in my school but if there were one, I’d be even worse off. Namely because it has such a large community filled with intellectual geniuses…=.=

Also, would it be better if I try to apply early in such a scenario?
