<p>Besides the fact that AP Physics is too dull to keep my mind straight…I wanted to be motivational for those that are biting their nails about admission decisions. We know that Ivy’s have the worst acceptance/rejection spectrums EVER! So, when you get your letter (and I am assuming you’re going to wait the traditional way—by mail) and you’re surveying it to see if its a thick or thin envelope…remember that you’re more than just a precentage. </p>
<p>I’ve had my eyes on Brown since I was 7. Although I love the school, it’s ridiculous that throughout my academic career I’ve been wallowing about my low test scores. The next post I see about test scores…direct them HERE. </p>
<p>When someone tells you that your SAT report is a boot out of the panel, ask them WHAT garden of confidence are they growing? Have a little faith, guys and gals. I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they are impressed with my resume but when it came down to my test scores they all seemed to have grown rigid and turned up their nose. I had to know, WHAT pinocchio came along and told me I wouldnt get into brown because I couldnt nail the ACT? I understand what it’s like to feel like all your hard work may come down to this bad bumper but I also understand that a school like Brown looks for a personality.</p>
<p>For those that post Chance threads, try not to be that robot studdent. They don’t want academic machines. They want someone that has determination. I was NEVER the kid who could sit in class, go home and expect to ace it without opening my book and studying. It’s not about being perfect --it’s about wanting it. If you want brown, go for it.</p>
<p>Anyways, enough of my motivational speech–or rather, RANT. </p>
<p>Good luck to all.
and stop worrying!</p>
