<p>Your SAT scores shouldn’t be much of a problem when compared to others in your ethnicity group. I would just make sure you communicate who you are in your essay because you sound like an interesting person who is beyond objective statistics. Good luck!</p>

<p>Lets see you have great numbers, already an early interest in Brown, and you are African American. All those things definitely help, but you still need to remember that nothing is set in stone at this level of colleges. You definitely are on the right track.</p>

<p>Keep at it and you’ll have a great chance!</p>

<p>I don’t think you count as first generation because your parents went to college outside the USA</p>
