I don’t know if they are specifically accepting into the Brown School of Engineering. If so, that is new. Historically, students are admitted to Brown, and they can choose their major as they please. Brown does ask intended majors, but it’s not binding in any way. Having said that, in order to complete the ABET accredited engineering program, you pretty much have to follow the curriculum beginning first semester. But, back to the point, you will be accepted, I believe, to Brown, not to the School of Engineering.

As to your stats, it’s hard to say. Just from the little I know, the SAT scores are a little on the low side, but not disqualifying if your application is otherwise strong.

Good luck.
