<p>I would say that you have a good chance. Your SATs are in range and your GPA is OK. Your AP scores, however, are exceptional and a BIG plus. On the other hand, your ECs are not that extensive. If your essays were well written and interesting, you have a good chance. Good luck!</p>

5

<p>You fit the median scores/gpa range...now with over 19,000 applications...lets just say you have earned the right to be seriously considered, and keep the fingers and toes crossed! Good Luck!</p>

6

<p>Will sending in my AP scores ($15/score report...something like that) make a huge difference in the decisions, or will they just believe me when i put all 5s on the app?</p>

7

<p>They don't ask you to send them, so I'm sure that they will believe you.</p>

8

<p>any other feedback would be greatly appreciated</p>

9

<p>You have a chance. What is your rank? Your stats look pretty good, perhaps your ECs are a little weak. Nobody can be sure that they are going to get into Brown.</p>

<p>"Nobody can be sure that they are going to get into Brown"</p>

<p>exactly.</p>

11

<p>National Science League seems to be your best EC but it seems like you don't have many at all. Also they all seem academic (except for varsity sport but that's common unless you're truly exceptional and getting recruited). Maybe not enough passion then (e.g. hobbies).</p>

12

<p>What about other schools
such as
U.Chicago/Northwestern/Stanford/MIT/NYU(STERN) ?
Do I have a good chance at any of these?
What school would make it the <em>easiest</em> for me to transfer into a top business program my sophomore year, such as Wharton School of Business?</p>

13

<p>good/quick easy feedback appreciated</p>

14

<p>feedback anyne?</p>

15

<p>Well, it appears from another thread that my chances are terrible for every school. If someone on hear can give me detailed chance report, such as chances based on experience/knowledge, ti would be utterly helpful.</p>

16

<p>Post your essay (only if you're comfortable with it) and people can get a better idea...</p>

17

<p>umm no thanks, i would prefer not to jeopardize any chance I have by risking someone from copying it or something of that nature.</p>

<p>I would say my essay is good, not Outlandishly Excellent but pretty good based on teacher (english) comments.</p>

18

<p>Its quite hard to get feedback on these threads. Maybe I should try in the peak hours of college confidential or something.</p>

19

<p>No one can copy your essay, the deadline for applications was over a month ago.</p>

20

<p>well that sorta helped, anyone else wanna give me a shot?</p>
