<p>Your test scores are all around the 50-75 percentile for the accepted students, so no worries there. Report your Euro score, its really not bad at all. However, you may face some problems without stellar essays, recs, and an outstanding presentation of ECs. As of right now, I would consider Brown a low/mid reach, as it is for most top applicants. Best of luck!</p>
