Apply to both, and try your hardest on both applications. If you get accepted to both, arrange campus visits, see if you can attend a day at classes, speak to students. Involve your parents. If you’re still dead set on Brown, sit your parents down and explain to them why Brown is a better fit for you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the application process, it’s that only YOU can decide where you’ll be happy and which college will give you the best opportunities. Your parents want the best for you and assume that higher-ranke colleges will give you more opportunities. You need to show them that Brown is equally as good as Yale and terms of academics and better in all other aspects. :)
