<p>My guidance teacher said it was a super huge reach, true?</p>

<p>Most people will say that any ivy is a reach.</p>

<p>Super huge reach because a) it's an Ivy and b) Brown is quirky. It takes kids over numbers.</p>

<p>I'm EDing at Brown, too. :]
I say, go for it! I think it may just come down to the essay. . .but your stats are pretty awesome and I'm sure you'll get into some great schools, if not Brown.</p>

<p>I'm a pretty quirky person, so should I show that in my essay?</p>

6

<p>^ Yes. But don't just be weird to be weird. Talk about something you're passionate about or an important experience/activity.</p>

<p>Give it a shot! Ivies are usually reaches, and I would definitely say Brown is a reach for you, but you never know.</p>
