Honestly, your ECs are pretty solid. Consider a 3-step priority procedure:
-Academics
-ECs
-Sports
The main reason why CollegeVine gives you a 5% for Brown is mainly due to the SATs and your GPA. Frankly, your GPA is more or less decent. The only thing you should brush up on is your SAT score and then, I'm sure your chances are going to go up significantly. Try the AP International Diploma criteria if you haven't already. Also, again, if you haven't already, take a look at Brown's AP requirements.

Best of luck!
Thank you for the advice!
Seeing your resume, I think you have a good chance. Honestly, just adding any volunteer works and academics will help!
