<p>Good chance, probably.</p>

3

<p>you are probably in a michigan. You have a better shot at brown than at columbia, but you are a really strong candidate for both.</p>

4

<p>thanks. i forgot to mention one thing. i had to work my sophomore year and junior year to help support my family(which i talked abt in the essay). anybody else??</p>

5

<p>Does being in Mensa count for anything ?</p>

6

<p>i guess not, it's just something i thot i'd mention</p>

7

<p>I think you have a very good chance... way better than mine...wow, and I guess you count as an international student since you spent two years in India... Dang... what are you shooting for in terms of majors?</p>

8

<p>well i am a permanent resident, so i won't be counted as an international student. i'm going in undecided with math and statistics as my 2nd and 3rd options. but i might switch to either econ. or international relations.</p>

9

<p>and my class rank moved up by one, so i'm 9 out of 196. i don't think that should change things too much. anyone else??? please.</p>
