Well you've got the grades and EC's but considering how competitive Brown is, it's impossible to tell for sure. Your recommendations and essay will be the deciding factor.

Thanks! I'm confident that at least my recommendations will be really good, I have two phenomenal teachers in mind. Anyways, my main worry is my SAT scores. It's below the 75th percentile, and I'm wondering if that would be a problem as an ORM.

Congrats, you will most likely be accepted to Brown, given that you will retrieve a great recommendation and put forth a compelling essay. You're EC's and GPA are perfect, but in your essay try to spice it up. Colleges want unique individuals ready to be put to the test. Best of luck! Chance me back please?? Boston College Transfer

I think Brown is a reasonable reach for you! Your grades and ECs are awesome, so It'll all come down to the essays and interviews. But based on stats, you should be a great candidate!

I'd appreciate it if you'd chance me back!

You have an academic and EC profile which many accepted students at Brown have. However many with the same credentials also get deferred, waitlisted, and rejected. Just read through old Brown threads.

Give the application your best effort, but be sure to keep other schools in the running.
Good luck.

I'm ranked 4th out of 270 students. However my school does not rank and this is all unofficial. :P
