I agree with Uroogla re if Brown is definitely your most favorite, really want school, then do early decision. I do think the probability of getting in ED are a bit better, just because they know it means you really want to be there. That said, you did not list test scores, but I would not put the chances of admission as very high. This is likely a “reach” school for you. While you have minority status, it does not sound like you are “underprivileged” minority, and Brown expects applicants with the opportunity for a good education to have excelled at it. (ie, top 10 of class, leadership positions, not just participating in EC or something else that stands out.). If you have superb board scores, then chances might be higher.
