<p>thank you that was quite an interesting perspective
hopefully i will be able to capture things i am passionate about on my essays and in my interview</p>
<p>im worried b/c 40 students from my school apply to brown every year and only 6-8 get admitted so i feel hopeless competing against so many of my peers with much better scores + much harder courseloads</p>
<p>can interest be a way of distinguising myself from my peers? sitting in on class, attending info sessions, interview, etc</p>
