Brown University

Hey guys. I am a current IB student and I applied to Brown U. I have a lot of extracurricular activities, a ery nice personal essay, IB predicted score 41, and an ACT score 27not proud of. Since I’m an international student, is ACT 27 acceptable? Do I have a chance to get into Brown?

Wow, that IB predicted score is great!! Hopefully admissions will use that over your 27 ACT since you are international. However, I’m not going to lie, a 27, if considered as much as your IB predicted score, will hurt. If the ACT was required for you, my bet is that it will matter along with your IB score. Good luck from another Brown U applicant!

Where are you from? Sometimes international can help, sometimes it can hurt.

I’m from Bosnia and Herzegovina @Charleigh

Do you need financial aid? Because if you do, it’s even more difficult to be accepted as an international.

@fireandrain Yes, I applied for the need-based fin aid…
