Chance me for Brown ED - Senior, 4.0UW (99.43), 1540 SAT [Financial aid, astrophysics, astronomy, physics]

You have a great profile - congratulations. That being said, at the tippy top schools, the acceptance rate for international students is lower - chances for admission to these schools is very slim. Brown’s ED acceptance rate must be taken with a grain of salt as it includes legacies, athletes and other hooked students - the likely ED acceptance rate for unhooked international students is probably much lower. Most of the schools you have listed are reaches/low reaches for unhooked students - more so for international students. You may get a couple of acceptances from your list of extremely likely/likely schools (although most aren’t actually in the likely category) - the bigger issue is whether or not they will be affordable. I hope you have a good backup plan in your home country. Also, I have to say that given the current administration I would not count on being able to stay in the US after graduation - moreso with the current job market for new grads being not so great.
