Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I’m a junior right now.</p>

<p>PSAT: 202(Sophomore year…)(80 Math, 550 CR, 670 WS)
Should I try to make my scores: 80 MAth, 700 CR, 700 WS? Would making my CR and WS higher help a large amount?</p>

<p>Mu Alpha Theta Honors society 3rd place national prize winner for a stat project
APs: APWH(5), AP Stats(4), AP Micro(5), AP Physics, AP BC Calc, APUSH
Top 10% of my class, Dual sport varsity athlete, on merit/athletic/need scholarship to a New England Prep school(From TN as well; Not the usual area).</p>

<p>My GPA is a 5.0-4.8/6.0 unweighted.</p>

<p>Junior year classes: AP Phyics, AP BC Calc, APUSH, English, Honors Bio
Senior year Classes: AP Bio, Post-Calc, English, AP Chemistry(Or not) and three term contained courses or I can take an AP History. I was thinking about Con law, Capitalism and business ethics for three term contained courses…</p>

<p>I’m a big Model UN guy, Math Team, I participate in REACH(Community help), Investment Club, Republican Club, School lit magazine and I think I will be an AP Scholar with distinctions.</p>

<p>I attend a boarding school in the NE(On scholarship; Merit, Athletic and Need).</p>

<p>What are my chances? Anything I should focus on? Am I a long shot? Should I apply ED/RD?
I may need financial aid, if I got in ED and my family can’t pay what happens?</p>

<p>There’s no way you can guide yourself towards an exact SAT. All you can “aim towards” is something “higher”. If you really want to play games, then take the SATs three times, and focus only one the math once, the reading another time, and writing a third time.</p>

<p>But, honestly, that’s plain stupid and college adcoms see your game playing and don’t buy it. Here’s what you should do: your best. Do what you like to do for ECs. Keep busy. Stay involved. Show school spirit. Skip the strategy playing. Have fun.</p>
