<p>Well, you caught my attention with your plaintive, direct appeal. If your essay is similarly themed, that’s a good start. In addition, you are from Kansas and you are bi-racial. Unless LOTS of Kansans have applied to Brown, you will have a chance.
While some students with low SATs/ACTs are admitted to the Ivies, you need to be a legacy or developmental admit (like the child of an uber-rich tycoon who can donate big bucks to the university) or quality athlete, if you don’t have—generally speaking----minimum scores of 1260 (SAT) 28 (ACT).<br>
The elite colleges consider several, myriad factors, and the fact that you (apparently) have undertaken the most rigorous course of study at your school will also play a central role. Figure out how you can best SELL yourself. PROVE to the AdComs WHY YOU must be admitted to Brown. Good luck!</p>
