<p>Hey! I'm a junior right now and planning on applying ED to Brown. I know there's no way to decisively predict someone's acceptance into ANY school, but based on my information, do you think I have a shot at getting in? I just want to know if I need to set my sights somewhere else. Thanks.</p>
<p>Gender is irrelevant, and I'm trying to keep this somewhat anonymous, so...
I live in a highly populated suburb of NYC
Caucasian / Jewish (but hardly practicing... as in culturally jewish but not religiously)
Only child, 2nd gen. college student</p>
<p>GPA: 96.52 unweighted, 97.87 weighted. At my school, neither can surpass 100.
Class size: approx. 400
Definitely within the top 10%, possibly within top 5% (school doesn't rank)</p>
<p>APs taken: European History, Language/Composition, Biology, US History</p>
<p>Senior year schedule:
AP Literature
AP Psychology
AP Government
AP Spanish Language
College Calculus (not AP. I'm taking College Calc because historically, math has not been my best subject, and I also don't love it. I learn for the sake of learning, over taking the hardest courses possible, and I think my philosophy is exactly that which is held at Brown. Everything I do is because I love it; so, College Calc was a personal decision, not really a question of ability... I particularly plan on mentioning this (my personal philosophies) in my application)
Research
The rest of my schedule is gym, band, and an elective</p>
<p>SAT I: 2250 (only taken once.. I'm taking them again to improve, hopefully)
CR 720, W 780, M 750</p>
<p>SAT IIs: Math I 720, Biology 720, others taken but irrelevant</p>
<p>Taking the ACT soon - definitely in the 30s (let's just say 34, give or take?)</p>
<p>ECs:
Captain of Debate Team
President of Music Honor Society
Music Director of Spanish Honor Society
Jazz Band - 1st chair
Wind Ensemble - 1st chair
National Honor Society
Drama Club</p>
<p>Achievements:
All-State Jazz musician
All-County Jazz musician
Performed at Carnegie Hall
Gold with Distinction on National Spanish Exam
State octofinalist (top 16) in debate</p>
<p>Employed for 2 years as a camp counselor
Spent a (will spend this) summer doing research in a lab, enter Intel etc. competitions next year</p>
<p>Recs will be outstanding
Essays will be outstanding as well; don't know the topics yet (writing is my strong suit)</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
