<p>I just checked my AP scores, and here are my stats and EC/awards
Please evaluate my chance for the PLME as well.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.70/ 4.0 (The maximum GPA is 4.0, not 4.3. Anything above 94 is an A and something in between 84 and 93 is a solid B.)
SAT I: 2270 (710 C/R, 780 Math, 780 Writing. I will take it again in Oct.)
SAT IIs: IIC 790, Chem 770, US history 700
APs: Chemistry 5, US History 4, English Language and Composition 4
TOEFL: 280
English is my second language, and I have been under American curriculum for 3 years. If I get in, I would like to study one of these: chemistry, biochemistry, and neuroscience.</p>

<p>AP courses I’ll be taking in senior year: AP English Literature, AP Calculus BC, AP Biology, AP Spanish Language, </p>

<p>My GPA for the first semester of junior year is really crappy. I got something like 3.15, so my cumulative GPA went down significantly. However, I bounced back by getting a 3.75 in the second semester.</p>

<p>E/C and Awards

  • Orchestra for all 4 years (I have been playing the cello since 1998)
  • University Interscholastic League Cello Solo 1st Class (UIL is a musical achievement testing used in Texas. I got the highest grade in 9th grade. Currently living in S. Korea)
  • 1st place winner for The 15th Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association Math Contest (in 9th grade)
  • Spanish Club President (12)
  • PSAT National Merit Commended Scholar (11)
  • National Honors Society (12)
  • 200 hours of community service at Chimsulwon (It’s a nonprofit organization in Korea where old ppl and the phsically challenged people are treated with oriental medicine. I treat patients with acupuncture and moxibustion)
  • Taekwondo 2nd Dan holder
  • Internship at two hospitals (50 hours)
  • Starting DB for freshman football team and varsity sprinter in 9th grade (my current school doesn’t have teams for Track and Fields and Fball. Therefore, this prolly doesn’t count at all). I don’t play any sports at this moment</p>

<p>The problem is that my counselor doesn’t want me to apply ED there. In the last three years, only one student per class has been accepted (usually the one who gets accepted to Brown end up at HYPS). Should I apply to Brown anyway?</p>

<p>woah "English is my second language, and I have been under American curriculum for 3 years" and u got 710c/r and spanish club prez. nice. how do u do it?! </p>

<p>personally i wouldnt take the SAT I again. its quite imptressive already and unlesss u really can improve..its not worth it. brown supposedly also wants personality. in terms of scores i think u r in great shape. for plme u need to have essays that really show interest in med field so if the vlntring meant something, you will have great topics to work with.</p>
