<p>You seem like a strong applicant. My advice to you is that you shouldn’t ED to Brown because I don’t believe Brown yields a high percentage of its freshmen pool from ED. I would recommend applying EA to many good universities such as Caltech,MIT,UMich,UVA,UChicago etc and doing RD to Brown. Work on more leadership and try to look into what Brown likes in a student(demonstrative interest,workshops,etc) and see what will be best for you next year. Good luck!</p>

<p>All I can say is rejection/deferral ED to your favorite school may be very hard to deal with. Rather, knowing you could have a shot at a top university with a higher overall statistical chance will be better for you sanity.</p>
