<p>The key to being able is to believe you are able.
Go for it, makes sure you emphasize what makes you a great person to be a part of Brown, or any school for that matter.</p>

<p>brown is definitely in your range. however, i'd trim down your seemingly laundry list of ec's and focus on 4 or 5. also, you need to raise sat's</p>

<p>Make sure to emphasize being first generation and low income in your application. Apply ED if possible if you're really into Brown. 2100+ would be the best case scenario, but don't sweat it too much. Activism is something these colleges are looking for. Make sure you are creative with your essays and bring out your background in them.</p>
