<p>Rather unusually given my generally negative chances, I actually think you have a fairly decent chance of admission to both Yale and Brown (though better for Brown). Why? Your stats are good, and extracurriculars are sufficiently unusual that, when paired with good recs/essays, you should have a decent shot. Regarding each school:</p>
<p>Yale uses their SCEA admissions primarily to fill institutional goals, which for them means science students, minorities, recruited athletes, and legacies/development cases. In your case, you have no such thing, so while your stats put you in the range for a SCEA admit I think you would probably be deferred.</p>
<p>Brown on the other hand is another story. ED is used by schools to increase yield, so as a result it is usually significantly easier to get in that way. Your stats and interests fall well into the profile of people admitted ED to Brown, so I think that if you were to apply there you have a very high chance of success, particularly given your ECs.</p>
<p>Oh, one last thing: within your application, if I were you, I would play up your acting and religious activities, and discount piano playing. To be successful you want to stand out from the “standard asian” profile, which you have with acting. Doing so would emphasize your unique qualities.</p>
