Brown is a reach for most people, and seeing as you don’t have any amazing accomplishments (sorry for the bluntness), your admission is probably mostly down to randomness. For the others, you should be a fairly solid applicant.

NYU 89% chance admission

Your Ec’s are a little generic.

Your profile is definitely a little generic for the schools you’re shooting for, so while you have chances at all of them, the more-selective ones (BC, Northeastern, Vandy, Brown) are going to be in the reach range. Can you afford NYU at $60,000 a year? They’re known for having terrible financial aid.
