<p>Beyond wanting to go to a good college, why Brown? What makes you a good fit for Brown? If you don’t have strong reasons and aren’t a great fit, you’d probably be passed over for better matches, regardless of stats, etc.</p>

<p>Your stats are competitive for Brown. Like Uroogla said, and like everyone else will most likely say: you need to show “Why Brown” and why you’re a great fit, not just a great student/person/volunteer. On another note, consider taking the Math II Subject Test if you did that well on Math I.</p>

<p>Don’t bother taking Math II unless somewhere you are applying asks you to or you feel as if you know the material well enough. Most colleges say they don’t care which one you take, and many don’t count them as separate SAT IIs.</p>
