<p>hey all,
i’ve lately been doing some research into brown and i’ve become a complete brownie lol. i personally want to major in both engineering and architecture and i think that brown will allow me to explore both. and i love it’s liberal environment</p>
<p>i am sciency and yet very artsy so i am a strange mix of interests…</p>
<p>alright so here are my stats and what not, and i would realy appreciate it if anyone would be able to tell me my chances!</p>

<p>And my passion is art so i may want to write about that in my essays.</p>
<p>Thankss</p>
<p>Are you doing RIDS then also?</p>
<p>Anyways though, I usually don't comment on these, but since I asked you a question, I might as well tell you what I think.</p>
<p>You have a chance, obviously, like everyone else. </p>
<p>Everything about you is so-so and pretty typical. I don't see anything that pops out at me.</p>
<p>That said though, I also wish to apply to Brown with my not-so-good stats, but I really hope to write great essays about the many hardships I had to endure.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I'm not going to apply to RISD because I'm just NOT ready. i don't have a portfolio ready and etc.etc.</p>
<p>I also think that I really need to hit the essays right on and show a side of me that may be a bit more EYE-catching.</p>
<p>Ah good luck with your application to Brown too!</p>
<p>I see...
Well, good luck on your apps too!</p>
<p>yeah, definitely retake the SATs, or just take the ACT, which most people prefer. If you just took AP US, you may want to consider the subject test. I took it a month after the AP exam and got a 770; so if you still remember a lot, you should consider it.</p>
<p>yeah i've been considering the us history subject test because I think it may be the only test I could get 750+ in the 2 months i have to study. </p>
<p>What were the questions like? Were they as specific as the AP questions?</p>
<p>not really, I'd say you could logic it out more than the AP test.
I took two practice tests the night before in the KAPLAN book and got a 770 on one and a 780 on the other, so those seem like pretty accurate questions, (because I got a 770 the next day), so if you want to get a sense of the test, flip through that guide book.</p>
<p>oh ok, that's good to hear. the ap questions were prety specific. thanks</p>
<p>has anybody visited brown yet?? I'm planning to visit soon. How do you like the city of providence?</p>
