@cwilky55 : I can’t chance you but I can give you some information so you can calculate your own chance. Your file looks good but so do many other students from your state.

This link (http://www.browndailyherald.com/2017/03/21/class-2021-applicant-profile/) gives you Class of 2021 applicant profile. Mouse over each state to find out how many students from your state applied. As you can see, male applicants have an advantage.

This link (https://www.brown.edu/about/administration/institutional-research/factbook/undergraduate-admission-and-financial-aid) has student geographic profile and other admissions statistics. Again, mouse over your state to see how many students from your state are in the class.

Actually there are a lot of information in Brown University Factbook that you can use to learn about the school.

Best luck to you.
