Personally, you seem like a great Brown fit to me! Plenty of people (probably the majority) are high-achievers and goal-oriented like you, the mellow attitude is only on top of that. Your year abroad and fluency in French are very unique and will definitely appeal to Brown admissions’ quirky side. They will also make an incredible essay, so you’re definitely on the right track already! Song writing is also impressive and would make a great essay to add more uniqueness to your application. Also, you should definitely talk about your specific interests in autism (and psych/neuro in general) in Brown’s supplement (there is a question about academic interests) because it will really show them that you have a goal in mind and would do great in the freedom of the open curriculum- but don’t forget to mention your other interests as well! And being Native American will absolutely help!

Overall, if you can get that ACT up to a 32-ish, I would say you have an excellent shot and would be much above average in the applicant pool. And even with a 30 you still have a good chance (all of your other qualities stand out and Brown will recognize that, plenty of people are accepted with a 30-31). Good luck! And consider applying ED if you are absolutely certain that Brown is the school for you and if you can commit financially.
