I wouldn’t place complete trust in what I’m about to say, but this is just my input –

You seem like a good applicant; good GPA, good EC’s, good course load. You also have a legacy in your sister.
Nothing about you stands out TOO much, but I don’t think it will be too much of an issue either.
For SATs, the 50th percentile at Brown is about 1490(I think), so that’s what you should aim for. If you don’t reach it, you shouldn’t be discouraged.

Good luck!

You seem like a really solid student and applicant. What I’d recommend at this point is engaging in some activities that really define who you are and what you are interested in. You’re artsy? Start an independent Friday night art club, see if any local museums need an intern, etc. you get the picture.

Schools want to see you YOU are through the limited info that we can give them. That means that your interests need to reflect in your ECs and work experience (which I would definitely recommend trying to find).

If you are able to reflect your personality in your application I think it would make you a much stronger candidate; Ivys especially need to see something a little unique seeing that they review otherwise perfect applicants like you all the time.

That’s all I’ve got!
