Chance an international please! I'll chance you back...promise!

<p>INFO</p>

<ul>
<li>Female</li>
<li>International student from South America currently living in Europe. Not sure if I’m a URM though. My parents are both white. Eh…I’m pretty tan, does that count? Well, I’m putting down “white” to be sure/fair.</li>
<li>Will NOT apply for financial aid</li>
<li>Oldest of 5 kids</li>
<li>I will complete five years of HS. I did three years in the US before moving to Europe and doing the full 2-year IB Diploma.</li>
</ul>

<p>ACADEMIC</p>

<ul>
<li>SAT I: (first try, studied not a single minute, have been studying quite a bit for the one in 2 weeks) 680 CR, 560 M, 710 W</li>
<li>SAT II: Two foreign languages, 710 & 750, and US History 670</li>
<li>GPA: It’s very weird. At my old high school I had a 3.6 on a 4.0, a 4.05 on a 5.0 scale, and a 4.67 on a 6.0 scale. What has really killed me have been math and french. Other than that I have pretty much all A’s. At my new school, I have a GPA of 6.5 on a 7.0 scale.</li>
<li>Class Rank: Although my new school does not rank, I was in the Top 10% at a very large, very competitive public school in the US.</li>
<li>Full IB Diploma candidate. Currently predicted at a 41 out of 45 with TOK/EE. There’s a rising trend in my GPA, especially in math where I have a 7.</li>
</ul>

<p>It is hard to say. Your SATs and GPA are a little low for Brown, but you do have strong ECs. However, I have heard that - and please correct me if I'm wrong - that Brown tends to look for a unique/special talent/interest in its applicants. So I don't know about that.</p>

<p>Hmm yea, I've heard that too. Not sure if this is "unique enough", but in my essays I talk a lot about my internationalism and how I'm planning on majoring in developmental economics and urban studies with the intent of building sustainable infrastructure in third-world countries one day.</p>

<p>How would your "chancing" of somebody else be valuable at all if you can't even "chance" yourself?</p>

<p>I can chance myself; I think I'm a total reach applicant. No problem admitting it. </p>

<p>I like posting chance threads not for the "yes or no" but for the feedback about what parts of my application are good and bad and how best to put myself across with these things in mind.</p>
