<p>I WANT TO GET INTO BROWN SO BAD OMG IT'S KILLING ME. </p>
<p>Thoughts on my chances?</p>
<p>Er, I've no idea what your chances are, I'm no adcom..^_^ I'd say it is very good sign that you were waitlisted. That will probably help a great deal, I surmise.</p>
<p>I'm reticent about posting my stats. Bare basics? I go to Holy Cross right now, it's a small liberal-arts college in New England. I am currently undeclared, and have a 3.93 GPA. Likewise, my GPA in HS was 3.9. My HS had no honor role, no class rank, nothing. If pressed, I'd say I was about 6th in a class of 79. There were also no AP classes available. I basically took two independently and got 4s. I did, however, take the most rigorous courseload available to me. I received 2 Awards, one in my junior year and one in my senior year (that's about as good as it gets at my school, unless you're math/science oriented). I delivered my school's Valedictory Speech, was president of the Senior Class, Newspaper Editor, Swim Team Co-Captain blah blah. Lots of leadership roles I guess. Also I'm damn silly.
College ECs: Club Water Polo, Newspaper Contributor, WCHC DJ, Tutor (Inner City), have lots of other crazy stuff planned...</p>
<p>I have no connection to the school [Brown] whatsoever so I am scah-r00d. Yay.</p>
<p>Your college GPA will really help you out. They say they focus most on your college career. </p>
<p>My college GPA is what is terrifying me :(</p>
<p>I know a friend of mine already has his application. The essays are the same as the regular app.</p>
<p>They suggest you write about your college experience and why you want to go to Brown. I'm gonna send in a revised versioin of my personal statement from last year though, as well</p>
<p>"They suggest you write about your college experience and why you want to go to Brown."</p>
<p>For all of Section 3? Like, focus on that even in your essay (number 6)?
And did someone in admissions tell you this?</p>
<p><em>is neurotic!</em></p>
<p>Your personal statement (aka essay) is supposed to be about your college experience thus far and your reasons for transferring to brown</p>
