<p>Hi! I was wondering my chances of getting into Brown, I’m super distresses about it, but here are my credentials</p>

<p>Have taken/Will have taken 5 AP Classes
<em>Just got APUSH Score back and I got a 1- I know it’s bad, but it was a very hard test</em></p>

<p>17 in my class of 235</p>

<p>ACT Score 29</p>

<p>weighted GPA Of about 4.2</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
-NHS
-Color Guard (Captain)
-Swim Team (3 Varsity Letters)
-Music Ministry</p>

<p>I work at a local store and volunteer in the summers at my neighborhood swim team.</p>

<p>Please help me, Brown is my dream school and I want to know what I can improve on.</p>

<p>72% of Brown’s admitted students have a higher ACT composite. If you can get that up to 32-33 it would help a lot.</p>

<p>Class rank is good.</p>

<p>Please post your unweighted GPA, and write a little more about your involvement in those extracurriculars. E.g., a lot of students are NHS. But a lot of local NH societies are basically inactive.</p>

<p>I’ve known people who got less than 29’s on their ACTs. But make sure to really work on the essays! </p>

<p>I hope to see you around :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Essays are really important. Good luck!</p>

<p>ACT is on the low end for Brown but there are definitely students accepted with a 29 and some below. Extra curriculars are not especially unique so if you can do something that would make you stand out before your application goes out, I’d encourage you to focus on it in your application. Good luck!</p>
