Do I have a chance of getting into Brown?

I think many high school students become obsessed with Brown because of its supposedly mellow vibe. However, you sound like a really type A super-achiever, so maybe this is not the attraction of Brown for you.

If you have a 4.0 GPA and you’re Native American and you’re interested in neuroscience and you’re fluent in French and you’re taken 9 AP’s and you’ve been writing and performing your own songs since 5th grade, I can’t see why Brown wouldn’t admit you, but I think because of the high selectivity and possibly quirkiness of the Brown admissions department, it would be a good idea to try not to develop Brown University Obsession Disorder, and to keep in mind that many less selective colleges and universities may be equally good or better than Brown.
