<p>I had higher scores (I: 2320 II: 3 800's), but lower grades (4.3 approx.), and you have much more EC's. My recommendation: send in tapes of your jazz, even if you don't plan on doing any music at Brown. The top privates love it.</p>

<p>I wouldn't include the whole "Insanely good at foosball, badmitton, and footbag (hackey sack)" and "My team won school's intramural hockey championship" thing, but I would ask a teacher or a guidance counselor to mention it in a rec. Or you can just mention these in your EC essay/blurb. (P.S. "Badmitton" is spelled 'badminton'.)</p>

<p>As for your chances, I would say you'd be a contender. For a frame of reference, our SAT scores were more or less the same, my GPA was higher, and your ECs reveal more.</p>
