<p>You have a decent chance since you are applying ed. Chance me back?</p>

4

<p>Sure. Could you send a link?</p>

5

<p>As above, I think you’ve a decent chance for Brown, esp. since you’re ED. Advantageous background, competitive statistics, and dedicated ECs should make you a great applicant. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble for the UCs. </p>

6

<p>Brown (ED?): Your stats (GPA and SAT) are a tad lower than what the Ivys usually take, but Brown likes to see ED so that should at least somewhat compensate. Your ECs are great so if you interview well and write great essays it’ll be fine. I’d say reach/high reach.
Georgetown: High match/low reach/reach.
UNC Chapel Hill: Match
University of Virginia: Match
Vanderbilt: Low reach/reach
Notre Dame: Low reach
And a match for all the instate ones.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

7

<p>A 2050 is about 200 points below-the-line to be competitive for Brown.</p>

8

<p>Thanks for all the input, everyone. Soze: I was thinking about not sending in the SAT. My ACT is a 33, so I would potentially send that in place.</p>
