Depends on your definition of “chance”. You’re more likely to get into Brown then win the Powerball, but then again your chance of winning the lottery is pretty low.

you are in fact correct that they don’t entirely base their decisions off of standardized test scores, but as a general rule if your extracurricular activities are not outstanding you need extremely strong test scores or some type of special status status in order to successfully be admitted to a school like Brown. Looking at the admissions statistics they posted on their website here:

[Brown Admission: Facts & Figures](Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)

You can see that for somebody in your ACT range only about 6% of the students that apply are admitted. Nearly all of those people are hooked - which is to say that they are minority students, athletes, or developmental cases (people whose parents donate 10,000,000+ to the school). You don’t seem to have any particular hook based on your post here, so I think that you are unlikely to get in given your current stats. Like I said; you DO have a better chance of getting in then winning the lottery - but winning the lottery isn’t very likely.

My guess is .5% maybe? Same with the other schools.
