You have strong academic credentials and extracurriculars, and check boxes for socioeconomic and geographical diversity. Are you applying RD or ED? I’d say you have a 20-30% chance at RD and 40-50% chance at ED.

You’re stats and background is impressive, but Brown had an increase in applications this year and was already a long shot to even top applicants so the odds are against you just like they would be for anyone unfortunately.

You have a legit chance, but Brown is harder to get in for females. Ivies are reaches for everyone.
