To get into Brown and its peer institutions requires hard work and passion. GPA/SAT, of course, but those are not the only factors. You have to have passion for what you do outside of the classroom, perhaps have a leadership position or two, volunteer, research. Basically, do what you love and excel at that. You don't have to spend lots of money on programs to make you "look good"--trust me, they've seen enough rich white kids go save the world in Africa. Also, stick with what you love. It's obvious if you "pick up" an extra activity in your junior or senior year, and you most likely won't get a leadership position if you start something that late.
It's a real crap-shoot. There are simply too many applicants. If you don't get into Brown, you'll get in somewhere else, assuming you're qualified. Work hard, stand out, be different and genuine. Be an independent learner, and show a responsibility for your own education. Well-roundness
