Is it worth to apply?

  1. Yes, if you want to go there - because you can’t if you don’t.

  2. If you can afford it.

Will you get in? - no idea but it seems you have a strong profile.

IMO it is impossible to chance for a college with such a low admission rate. If you would like to attend Brown then put in the best possible application and see what happens.
