<p>Would it be pointless to apply with a 31 and a 10 essay? Assume I have good EC’s and a 4.0 GPA, ranked 1/392…</p>
<p>of course it would not be pointless. look at brown stats, their 25-75 composite is 29-33. you definitely stand a chance for admission, given what you have shared.</p>
<p>You’re probably right, but aren’t engineering applicants held to higher standards?</p>
<p>Of course, as @icaman pointed out, your ACT is competitive, but to gain admission will require much more, such as ECs, grades, teacher recs, essays.</p>
