Heh we’re in the same pool, good EC’s and scores but shitty GPA.

I think with upward trend, ED, relatively strong EC’s and good scores you have a fair chance of acceptance. Low/mid reach.

Don’t mind the poster above. Your gap may be on the lower side for Brown but by no means is it abysmal as some people here make it seem. Nobody here can accurately give you a perfect chance but we can tell you if you are a competitive applicant. In my opinion you are. You still have to raise gap too, so do well this semester you have good ec’s and strong scores. Good luck!
