<p>You have great stats, and you've got a good chance at any school.</p>

<p>The thing you have to remember, though, is that all of the Ivies are basically a crapshoot. You look really good, but there are 19,999 other kids who also look really good. So, give it a try, and if you don't get into Brown, you'll still go someplace really good.</p>
