<p>Calm down. Take a deep breath, watch a good movie (preferably a comedy), go cheer on your high school football team, anything to take your mind off this stuff for awhile.</p>

<p>It looks like you have all the pieces you need to get accepted to Brown and other good schools. But we can’t see your essays, your teacher recommendations, your guidance counselor comments. We don’t know the track record of other kids at your school being accepted into Brown and other schools. Without seeing all of that, no one here can make an accurate prediction. </p>

<p>I hope you are applying to a good selection of colleges, including at least one safety school that you can afford. If you do that, you’ll know that you will be going to college next year, and that’s what’s most important.</p>
