<p>I guess it will come down to ACT and SAT scores. You have stats with a similar feel to mine and I got waitlisted. I think you have a better shot at Brown than the other Ivies because it sounds like you are a genuinely neat person but don't have a 4.0 and I feel like these are the types of kids Brown likes- but what do I know! Just do your thing, write a brilliant essay, ask your teachers for recs early so they have time to spend on them. good luck!</p>
