<p>look at this page

<p>brown admits about 10% of the people with your stats. they admit less than 15% overall--those odds say it's as much worth a shot as it would be for anyone else</p>

<p>Dude, just go for it. What people on this thread say has no reflection as to what the admissions people want. Write a d*mn good essay, and dont sweat about the facts and figures. Highlight your passions, maybe even your passion for Brown, and you'll do fine.</p>
