<p>I’m entering my senior year at high school this year, and was wondering what my chances were for Pre-Med at Brown (Possibly ED).</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7-3.8 unweighted 6.5/7 weighted over 3 years(Top 6-7% of class, but haven’t yet received updated rank)
SAT 1: 760 Math, 800 CR, 720 Writing
SAT 2: (Will take Math II and Biology in the Fall)</p>

<p>My public school in NJ is one of the more challenging and recognized in the state. I will have taken 2 Accelerated courses (both freshman year in non-science/math classes), 12 Honors courses (No AP offered), and 6 AP classes by the time I graduate. I am also a year ahead in math.</p>

<p>I don’t get your weighting system, and how it can be above a 5. Go for Brown. It’s a crapshoot. People who get accepted to Princeton get rejected to Brown, yet people rejected from Stanford EA still have a shot, so don’t hang everything on getting in (you know this already, I’m sure). But yeah, give it a go and see where you fall. Write good essays. Try and get good recs. Study for class, don’t let your fall semester grades nosedive. 2220 is a good SAT score. Your grades are decent. You seem to have some sort of passion about band. So yes, you’ve got a shot, but no one (even an admissions officer perusing this thread) knows whether you’ll get in until they get all the applications and figure stuff out.</p>
