<p>It's definitely reasonable for you to apply to Brown, but I don't see anything in your post that would make you really stand out to an admissions officer. There may be something -- make sure it comes through in your essays.</p>

<p>I don't know much about Vanderbilt, but you'd definitely have a better shot at UVA and NYU (both of which are excellent schools but less selective than Brown).</p>

<p>yeah you have a shot. just curious.. vanderbilt vs nyu and brown. wow sounds like 2 totally diff people! i know vanderbilt is not very liberal nor is it a school that boasts social racial integration or open accepance of glbt.. whereas brown is the opposite. what made you chose the schools?</p>
