I would be happy to help…if I could.

Most of the people here are alumni (whose own admissions experience is probably too old to be relevant), parents (who have gone through one or two Brown admissions processes and heard a lot of gossip), current students (who have gone through one admissions process and tend not to discuss their stats and ECs once they get on campus), or applicants such as yourself (who obviously do not have expertise or you wouldn’t be seeking help).

Some alumni are also interviewers, but they do not know interviewees’ GPAs and test scores, so their experience is probably not useful either.

Brown publishes information that will help you understand how your GPA and SAT scores relate to admissions results. I am sure you can find this information and resolve that part of your question yourself.

As for your awards and ECs, maybe someone else can speak authoritatively about how the Admissions Office would assess them against the awards and ECs of other applicants this year in RD.
