very honestly, your chances are 50/50 at best. but please do remember than because we can’t see your essays and recs here, none of us can chance you with any sort of accuracy.

the best one can tell you is if you’re still competitive - i.e. that you don’t have anything on your profile that would lead to you being auto-rejected. good news is, you don’t. bad news is however, that 99% of everyone who applies to brown won’t have any such blemishes either. certainly some areas of your profile are not very strong (e.g. GPA & SAT) but i’m sure you’re a smart person and that you’ve rationalized your decision to apply to brown well. in that case, you should have at least an idea as to what you’ll use as your “main hook”. work from there and when the decisions eventually come, we’ll see.
