What Brown University is actually looking for
Every institution reads an SOP through its own specific lens, and Brown University is no exception -- brown University is an Ivy League university known for its flexible, open curriculum. A statement that could be submitted unchanged to a different institution signals, immediately, that it wasn't written with Brown University specifically in mind.
US admissions committees read SOPs as evidence of research or professional fit specifically -- a statement that stays general about "wanting to study in America" undersells an otherwise strong profile. Since your SOP also needs to remain consistent with what you'll later say at your F-1 visa interview, the same document has to hold up under both kinds of scrutiny.
