All of the Ivies are crapshoots obviously. To improve ur chances, u should try to bump up your SAT to around 2100-2300. Good luck!

Im pretty sure Brown doesn't have law, criminology, or forensics

Your majors are too professional for most of the Ivy League which give more "all-encompassing" or "liberal arts" kinds of majors. A 1720 is simply too low, and I don't see anything that counters it. Your ECs are average-looking, and those sumer classes that are ability-to-pay-based, as opposed to merit-based do little to supplement your application. If you can raise that SAT to a 2100 (which, I'm sorry to admit, is extremely unlikely unless you took the test on your deathbed) Brown might be a reasonable reach. As it stands, your chances are extremely low. If you do get in, it is probably something that we can't see on this internet post.

Try taking the ACT. Many students do better on it. Best of luck!
