ruyi and 21Questions have said it well. So have you in your own post.

Dedicate yourself between now and February 1 of next year to being the best you can be where you are. Do all those things you say you want to. Do not worry about what ECs are “popular” at Amherst. Delve into the ECs which interest YOU. Try out the things you regret not trying in hs, or new things you want to try out now.

Bloom where you are planted.

If, after having done all of that, you find that - one full year from now - you are not blooming; THEN, you can apply to Brown. The month of February will be plenty of time to do that. Don’t give Brown another thought between now and then. Brown is very likely not the answer to your longings. You are the answer to your longings.
