I really want to go to Brown U. in Rhode Island. I read once that theres about a 10% chance of getting in. I'm only going to be a sophomore in high school in the fall but I'm pretty interested in colleges already. The only problem is that I dont think I am smart enough to get in. I get A's and B's and I think my GPA is 3.4, but it might be like 3.5 or 3.6 but I don't know for sure. (Our school doesn't do our GPA's until senior year I think so I calulated online one day and thats what I came up with.) I'm not too involved with school, I'm going out for a sport next year, don't know if I'll make it though, and then I might join a club or two.
If I continue to get all A's and B's is there a possibility of getting in by the time i apply?
If you think I probably wont get in, what other colleges would you recommend? (I live in the northeast, but I'm willing to go almost anywhere.)
Thank you in advance.

They will also look at SAT scores so if you did high on that you could get in. Also, playing sports or participating in any activity outside of school will help you get into almost any college. When you're applying just make sure you mention you're a hard worker and you always get the job done and they will probably let you in. Your grades seem pretty good because you have the same grades as my dad and now he's the vice president of a bank.
If you want any more good colleges I would try..
PC (providence college)
University of Rhode Island
and that's basically all you need. I think you will make it in Brown personally.
