For financial aid at Brown they provide substantial need-based aid up to $180k family income . . . see their financial aid examples on their web site

As far as being able to “hazard a percentage” . . . here you go


Brown said no to 81% of the Valedictorians and 86% of the Salutatorians who applied
Brown said no to 81% of applicants who had an 800 CR and 83% of those with an 800 Math
Of those with a CR of 750-790, 85% were denied
Of those with a Math of 750-790,87% were denied


The issue is that your stats fit with both accepted and rejected students at Brown.

In other words, for Brown and the other most competitive schools (which are not necessarily the best schools for you, because that depends on a lot of other factors) it’s a tossup for almost anyone who applies

Go For It . . . but know that it is a stretch for almost everyone.
