<p>So I applied ED to Brown today…and as I look over last years stats I am starting to get more and more worried. I know that Brown is a major reach for anyone these days, and it really depends a lot on how your application package is viewed as a whole. So, I was wondering if I could get any feedback? Do I even have a shot?</p>

<p>I wrote my two essays and I am pretty proud of them…
I have really great relationships with both my teachers and my counselor so I know they are very nice. </p>

<p>I know my ACT is low but Im hoping that I have some kind of unique ECs that might make up for it. What do you guys think…I appreciate any feedback!</p>

<p>Any opinions?</p>

<p>Your ECs are impressive, for what it’s worth. Your essays have to be amazing. It’s always hard to tell. I’m not going to pretend like I know anything. :stuck_out_tongue: What do you want to major in?</p>

<p>bump…have similar stats haha</p>

<p>I would say that if were judging only on your extracurricular activities and academics, your pretty much in. However, you have to make sure that your personal statement and supplements are amazing! Same goes for your letters of recommendations. I’m not sure if they offer interviews for ED, but if they do, make sure you get one! Maybe I will see you around campus next fall!</p>
