<p>Hi! I recently visited Brown and absolutely loved it. I’m planning on applying ED, and will most likely be putting down my concentration as International Relations, as that is my passion.</p>
<p>White female from a large public school in NJ, less than 50% go on to 4 year colleges and less than 1% to Ivy-caliber schools. </p>
<p>Class rank is 5/725, GPA is a 3.9-4.0 UW/~5.0 W (only one B+ throughout high school, all honors classes, APs by the end of senior year will be Bio, Physics, English, History, and Psychology).</p>
<p>SAT I: 2100 (740 V, 690 M, 670 W)</p>
<p>SAT II: 780 Bio E, 740 Lit, 620 Math IIC (ugh…luckily Brown only looks at the two highest!)</p>
<p>ECs:</p>
<p>-Attended NJ Governor’s School for International Studies 2006
-Founder and Executive Board of my school’s Model UN
-President of the Music Honor Society, and received awards for “Outstanding Leadership” and “Outstanding Service”.
-Co-chairperson and co-hostess of the Talent Show
-Been in Marching Band and Woodwind Choir all four years, playing clarinet, oboe, and tenor sax.
-Will receive the Bronze Presidential Service Award for my volunteer work at my town’s library, through which I have planned children’s programs and gotten book reviews published in the local paper.
-All the usual awards like National Honor Society, High Honor Roll, etc, etc.</p>
<p>My teacher/counselor recs should be pretty good, and I’m thinking of including a supplemental rec from the librarian that helped me with the Service Award, as she wrote me an amazing one for Governor’s School. So, if I write a great essay, do I have a decent shot?</p>
