<p>Hey All!
I’m only a sophomore in high school, however, college is still right around the corner. I absolutely love Brown University, and when it’s my chance to apply I am certain that Brown will be my first choice. I am also extremely intrigued by medicine, and know that I want to become a doctor when I’m older. Coincidentally, Brown’s prestigious P.L.M.E. program seems fit for me, however, I am aware that the chances of being accpeted are rediculously slim. I am wondering what I can possibly do to improve my chances of beig accpeted, and what else there is available (pertaining to the medical field) for high school students to become invovled in. Here are my current stats, and please feel free to critique and to give me any worthy advice:</p>

<p>Other:
For the past few years I have been compling all-time record books for (so far) my school’s baseball and soccer teams. This entails anual visits to my local newspaper facility (The Record) in order to research the school’s history. I plan on sending these books (which are relatively large) to Brown along with my app. when it’s my team</p>
<p>Also:
My father is a graduate of Brown University (making my a legacy)
He is also currently does interviews for potential Brown acceptances which,
perhaps, will give me an extra bonus over other applicants</p>
