Anyone else out there who is more likely to fly tomorrow than get an acceptance?

<p>I applied to Brown but I pretty much know I have the smallest possbile chance of getting in. I’m kinda interested to see who else is with me, and how it works out for us high shooters.</p>

<p>I have a 2010 SAT, 31 ACT, B+ average, and I applied to Brown.</p>

<p>Who else?</p>

<p>1940 sat, 28 act, A- average :expressionless:
miracles happen, though!</p>

<p>27 ACT, never took the SAT. A- average. Theatre/Environmental Studies double concentration. I have a feeling that the only way they’d let me in is if someone holding my application sneezed and it accidentally fell into the wrong pile. But hey, here’s hoping!</p>

<p>Unless you guys are URM I’m glad to see that you have realistic expectations.</p>

<p>31 ACT, no SAT, 4.0 uw and 4.58 w. My list of ECs is what will kill me because I don’t have nearly enough though I am dedicated to theatre and spend most of my time on that. My essays are good though and my recommendations. I just don’t feel like I am noticeable among the people that have millions of ECs and perfect test scores along with 15 AP classes when my school only offers 8.</p>

<p>@spiritual- I’m also very dedicated to theatre (and show choir… haha i’m very midwest) and I have several other good EC’s. I’ve always been told that they look for depth, not breadth, and I definitely tried to emphasize that. Best of luck!</p>

<p>well, my son should be rejected…2240 SATs, but the 3.8/4.5 GPA does not put him in the top 10% of his class (and that is padded with fine arts, though these help his ECs). He’s a brilliant kid, great musician, but I don’t see it happening. I see UVA in his future…nothing to scoff at!</p>

<p>Ah 28 ACT, 3.8 unweighted, top 10%, URM, 1st generation</p>

<p>I hope that gives me some whim of hope haha!</p>

<p>1920 SAT, A+ GPA, No volunteer hours but loads of extracurriculars && 3 semesters of a college class. Top 10%, 1st generation college student. I was also born and raised in the ghetto (for the first 6 years of my life), but I didn’t mention that to them(but my common app essay hinted at it a little bit).</p>

<p>T_T I think there’s still a slim chance, so my fingers are still crossed.</p>

<p>I’ve lost hope…because I’ve been waitlisted at a lot of places…34 ACT…3.87…7/572…IB and crap…handful of EC’s and a handful of community service stuff…but I’m still not even close to as outstanding as those other applicants are. :(</p>

<p>“I have a feeling that the only way they’d let me in is if someone holding my application sneezed and it accidentally fell into the wrong pile.”</p>

<p>haha this made me laugh. thats how i feel too</p>

<p>Sparkles21, are you my twin? I’m a theatre/show choir girl too!</p>

<p>But yeah, it would take a miracle to get me in. That’s okay, though, cause I got in to one of my other top choices… so whatever happens is for the best. :)</p>

<p>Looks like we’ve found ourselves a support group, huh? :)</p>

<p>2090 SATs, 4.0 UW, 4.85 W, pretty terrible SAT II’s, not any particularly amazing extracurriculars. I don’t really have any expectation of getting in, so that should help soften the blow of this rejection…</p>

<p>I’m an international student who needs A LOT of financial aid. And I’m by no means an academic superstar. </p>

<p>So I reckon I have the lowest chances of everyone here :(</p>

<p>Oh well, you never know unless you try!</p>

<p>i’m a urm…i got into amherst, so maybe brown too? eeh nothing we can do now</p>

<p>@ julibelle, I think I just might be! haha. What did you list as your major?</p>

<p>I have a 2250 SAT and a 100+ GPA but i’ve been rejected from williams, amherst, tufts and waitlisted at pomona and wesleyan. Not expecting anything but cold hard rejection here</p>

<p>2060/32/4.0. Rejected at Stanford, Chicago, MIT, Tufts. Waitlisted at Carnegie Mellon. I really don’t want to go to Boston U, but it looks like that’s what I’ll be doing if I don’t get into Hopkins/Brown/Columbia/Princeton/Yale/Cornell/Penn.</p>

<p>2080/3.7. 1st generation/independent research/young epidemiology scholars regional finalist/graphic designer.
waitlisted/rejected at Amherst, Duke, Pomona, Carleton. :frowning:
Still waiting on JHU and Brown…hoping for the best!</p>
