Tufts ED or Brown ED??

I really don’t know which one to do. Both are reaches for me, but Tufts is obviously easier to get in to. I visited and like both schools, actually i’m IN LOVE with everything about Brown. I’m just not so sure I should apply ED there because my chances of getting in are a lot lower. So if I apply ED to Brown, and get rejected, then I lose my chances of applying early to Tufts as well. I’m just really confused.

Number-wise, I’m not the best applicant. My GPA is a 3.7-3.8 unweighted, I’m in the top 5% of my class, and my SAT score is low. I’m still working on that though, so it should be around a 2050-2150. My ECs are great, essays and everything else will be great as well.

So as you can see, I’m not in the best position for either school, but I really like both (LOVE Brown) so I’m very confused. Any help, comments, advice, etc???
