<p>Excellent shot. I’m sure you’re already aware of it…so why ask? Now it’s just making me feel bad.</p>

3

<p>I do agree you have a good shot. Don’t worry about your SAT or SATIIs and just send in your ACT score. 35 >> 2230. Spend that time focusing on your essays - they will be really important at Brown.</p>

<p>I give you a 99% chance of getting in! :slight_smile: Not only because you are Hispanic (which is a HUUUGGGEE boost) but also because you have great stats and EC’s!! AND you did research! I up your chances to 99.99% :D</p>

<p>u will get in. amazing grades and everything. good job!!!</p>

<p>Pranam0, how much does being hispanic help? Cause I’m also hispanic and I’m also looking at applying to Brown :)</p>

<p>You have, overall, AMAZING stats. You’ll get in for sure. Just worry about the essays, the interview, and your teacher recommendations. :)</p>

7

<p>Not to rain on your parade, but by applying to Ivy Leagues and other high-ranking colleges you will compete with students of similar caliber. The 99+% estimate is absolutely ludicrous, and might have given you false hope. Yet it’s not entirely false - the basis for your application is there. Couple it with essays as impressive as your stats and I grant you have an above average chance.</p>
