Okay, Ivy, I have helped and dealt with a lot of students applying to Brown and other schools on your list. Please go ahead and apply to whatever schools you really want to try, but don’t apply just because they are on prestigious lists or whatever. You have some interesting ECs, but realistically it is a very long shot for you to get into the list above. I hope you have someone helping you explore the wide range of schools out there that are just as great schools for you, and that you apply to a variety of “reach” categories (high reach, mid range, “safety”, etc. ) Look for what the school is really like, and how that does or doesn’t fit with what you want in a college experience. Remember that if you look at any group of people you would want to “be like” when you are “grown up” that you will find they come from a wide background of colleges (and some from no college). But some helpful guidance will make your next steps the happiest and best fit for you.
