<p>choklitrain… I’m afraid you’re probably right… not to discourage OP, but odds are about 1% (or less) for acceptance at Brown given those stats… the 1% is in the case that OP has an extremely compelling story of overcoming daunting life hurdles… Even then, adcoms are really wary of accepting students who <em>academically</em> below most others and sufficiently so that they might be “at-risk” in terms of GPA. 250 SAT points below Brown’s 25/75 average is not trivial, nor is a C in Honors Precaculus… Don’t forget Brown turns away hundreds of applicants with 2300 and 4.0.</p>
