<p>Stats-wise, solid. Can't make a good guess without knowing your extracurricular activities or things you've done.</p>
<p>are you applying for financial aid???</p>
<p>this is especially important for international applicants</p>

<p>not for the international students, unfortunately</p>
<p>is it good admissions wise, to apply for financial aid or not to?</p>
<p>It doesnt matter unless you are international, in which case it is better not to apply for financial aid. Brown is supposedly need blind for non-international students.</p>
