Is there still a possibility

As a junior, I’ve started looking at various school, but I came to the conclusion very early on that Brown seems to be the school that interests me the most. I’ve had a rocky 9th and 10th grade, but have rebounded 11th grade. My freshman, including some of sophomore year, opened my eyes and brought me out of my lazy behavior. I now see clearly in terms of how I want to continue to accel and pursue my dream of becoming a physician. I know that brown has one of the most stellar pre-med programs in the country. If I am able to bring up my GPA (3.64 UW, 3.93) and score well on SAT/SAT2 (2200+/700+), will I still possibly have a slight shot a Brown. I know the admissions process is a bit arbitrary, but I’m trying my best to polish my portfolio. I’m currently in almost every club at my school (10 clubs, VP of 2, sec of 1, gonna be pres senior year of 2), and I’m trying to show interest through an internship I just got. I’m an intern at a private general practice clinic in the shadowing phase of a physician/ previous cardiovascular surgeon. I’ll have about 350-400 hours when it’s time to apply next dec. Will I have the slightest shot? I have various other EC’s going on this summer. (science fair project research, Emory pre-undergrad program, CDC program for week, Calc at CC.) I’m going to take the most rigorous schedule that my school can offer next year. Also does the fact that I go to a school in a very small town in the south that has never sent a student to an ivy in its 50 yr existence hurt me in admissions process?
