Do I have any chance?

So I am a junior in high school and brown is my dream school… Do I have any shot?

Freshman year:
5 honors, 3 non honors, straight A’s and A+'s
I took the hardest possible course load I could that year

Sophomore year:
6 honors, 2 non honors, straight A’s
I took the hardest course load possible that year

Junior year:
3 AP’s, 3 honors, 1 non honor (gym forced)… But I have 2 B’s (in the 2 AP classes, but in those classes I will definitely get at least a 4 on the exam… The classes are APUSH and AP Chem, and I have at least a 90 in both classes, which is a B+ in my school), and the rest are A’s.
I took the hardest work load possible

E.C.'s
NHS
Science honor society
Drama club freshman and sophomore year, but not this year
Lead and seed (a new anti-drug program at my school run by students… I was in the first “group” of students selected to work on it in my school…)
Have submitted pieces to my school’s literary magazine
Girl Scouts- I continue to help run events

3 season varsity runner, I’ve won multiple awards for running, and I am most likely a good candidate to be a recruit as long as my other stats are “sufficient”. (My times are about what is typical for a recruit of theirs)

For SAT I should be able to get at least a 2100 based on my PSAT scores, but obviously nothing is set and stone.

So, do I have any chance? I know that my stats are sub-par, but I do have the hook of possibly being a recruit. Both my parents didnt go to college and I am gay (not a minority hook, but I am involved in school lgqbt events), and I am in the top 5 % of my class. If I have no chance at brown, does anyone have any suggestions on what schools I should try for based off of my stats?

Thanks!
