<p>You are obvious of the caliber to get into ANY of those schools. Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown are ivy league schools so for even the best they can be random at times. With stellar essays and recommendations I would assume you could get into any of them.</p>

<p>I agree with the above, due to your URM hook.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback guys
Additionally, does anyone have a sense of how much applying ED to Brown would affect my chances there?</p>
