Brown ED

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I just checked my AP scores, and please evaluate my chance for Brown (ED)
And would I have a shot for the PLME if my essays and teacher recs are outstanding?</p>

<p>Here are my stats
GPA: 3.70/ 4.0 (The maximum GPA is 4.0, not 4.3. Anything above 94 is an A and something in between 84 and 93 is a solid B.)
SAT I: 2270 (710 C/R, 780 Math, 780 Writing. I will take it again in Oct.)
SAT IIs: IIC 790, Chem 770, US history 700
APs: Chem 5, US History 4, English Language and Composition 4
TOEFL: 280
English is my second language, and I have been under American curriculum for 3 years. If I get in, I would like to study one of these: chemistry, biochemistry, and neuroscience.</p>

<p>AP courses I’ll be taking in senior year: AP English Literature, AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Spanish Language, </p>

<p>My GPA for the first semester of junior year is really crappy. I got something like 3.15, so my cumulative GPA went down significantly. However, I bounced back by getting a 3.75 in the second semester.</p>

<p>E/C and Awards (might be considered mediocre)
* Orchestra for all 4 years (I have been playing the cello since 1998)
* University Interscholastic League Cello Solo 1st Class (UIL is a musical achievement testing used in Texas. I got the highest grade in 9th grade. I moved to South Korea in my sophomore year)
* 1st place winner for The 15th Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association Math Contest (in 9th grade)
* Spanish Club President (12)
* PSAT National Merit Commended Scholar (11)
* National Honors Society (12)
* 200 hours of community service at Chimsulwon (It's a nonprofit organization in Korea where old ppl and the phsically challenged people are treated with oriental medicine. I treat patients with acupuncture and moxibustion)
* Taekwondo 2nd Dan holder
* Internship at two hospitals
* Starting Defensive Back for freshman football team, varsity track sprinter (My current school doesn't have teams for Track and Fields and Fball. Therefore, this prolly doesn't count at all). I don't play any sports at this moment</p>

<p>Hello? ANyone?</p>

3

<p>i think you have a good shot. nobody is a sure bet at brown but your gpa is strong and your sat scores are really good . that combined with stellar recs should make you a competitive candidate</p>

4

<p>getting hopeful now</p>

5

<p>any shot at the PLME though?</p>

6

<p>Huge reach because of your GPA. But it won't hurt to apply.</p>

7

<p>the website does say that most of the people admitted to plme were in the top 1% of their class, which you didnt mention your class rank. it never hurts to apply. just take into consideration that they had over 1600 applications and only 103 were offered admissions. thats less than 10%.</p>

<p>You have a decent shot at Brown, but I don't see anything that would make you stand out for PLME.</p>
