Chance me 2016?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University
1

<p>SAT (in one sitting but superscore nevertheless; third time taking it): W-800 M-650 CR-720 (2170)
SAT IIs: US History: 700, English literature: 750, French: 680 (will retake French; hopefully 750+)
GPA: my school does not calculate GPA but I have a low A average (like a 92 or 93) with an upward trend from freshman to junior year (A-s to As).
APs: Art History (5), English Lit (5), United States History (5), Studio Art portfolio (4) (compiled it myself; no AP art class)
Senior schedule: AP French, Pre-calculus, AP European History, English, Studio art (highest level), Anatomy (second term only)
ECs: Editor-in-chief of award-winning school newspaper, committed artist in and out of school (I have anywhere from 6 to 12 hours of class total each week; the word “prodigy” has been used before), “Senior mentor” (elite program at my school in which seniors are chosen to guide freshmen through their first year), 4 years varsity crew, community service at Yale New Haven hospital every week since junior year, volunteer at a literacy program for underprivileged women, participated in 2 Shakespeare productions Freshman/Sophomore year
Summers:
after 9th grade- summer program at Yale (not prestigious or highly academic)
after 10th grade- 6-week intensive summer school to finish required history course early; allowed me to fit AP art history into my junior year schedule
after 11th grade- Columbia high school program for creative writing (with a genuinely good recommendation letter)
Possible hooks: Very, very good art and good creative writing (will send supplements for both)</p>

<p>My essays will be good because writing is one of my strengths. I go to an academically intense private day school in CT (we send almost all students to Ivies or great LAC’s each year)</p>

<p>Note: my dad went to Brown undergrad, but he is not an active alumnus/doesn’t give a lot of money, or to my knowledge, any money. How much will the connection help me?</p>

<p>The connection with your Dad should help you! You are an impressive applicant! Good luck!</p>

<p>Test scores look good to me, and ECs are fab. Curriculum (particularly math) is a little weak, but it makes sense if you’re focusing on arts. High five for creative writing. Do yall not have classes for that— or is there some other reason it’s not on your senior schedule?</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! No, we don’t have creative writing classes—grr. I’ve just always done it outside of school. Totally struggling with the “under twenty-five word” brown supplement questions at the moment!</p>
