<p>Hi, guys, I’m a junior in high school right now. I want to be chanced early in case there is anything you guys would suggest I improve this year and next year before I apply to Brown. I have always wanted to go to Brown and I want my chances to be as high as possible, so please help and don’t automatically dismiss me just because I am only a junior. I really want all the advice I can get. Thank you!</p>

<p>Class Rank: 2 or 3/84

<p>I am an IB Diploma Candidate, and the IB Diploma Programme is a two-year program, which is why I have the same classes junior and senior year.</p>

<p>Summer:
I did a month-long paid internship at a Harvard lab the summer after my sophomore year on using stem cells to cure Type I Diabetes. This summer I might be working at a summer camp I used to attend for a month and then doing another month-long internship on using stem cells to cure cancer.</p>

History Student of the Year (highest average), English Student of the Year (highest average), Math Student of the Month (freshman year), Latin Student of the Month (sophomore year). High honors (no grade lower than A-) first two years of high school. I may get more this year and next year, but I cannot say for sure.</p>

<p>wow great chance! keep it up!</p>

<p>You’re looking pretty good, but you’re missing the standardized test scores. Those are a bit important. :P</p>

4

<p>Um…test scores?</p>

5

<p>Haha, yeah, test scores, I know. I plan on taking the SATs in May, and for the SAT II’s I’m probably take Biology (I don’t know whether I’m doing E or M yet) and Math II.</p>

<p>But thank you!</p>

6

<p>It seems pretty good. If your test scores fall in the middle 50 percentile or over it you get a great chance. But Brown essays are not that easy lool</p>

7

<p>Okay, thank you very much. I will keep that in mind, haha.</p>

8

<p>wow! your application seems unique</p>

<p>this is such a joke. nice try collegeluva101. people reading this don’t get freaked out by this person’s pathetic attempt</p>

13

<p>I’m sorry, what?</p>

<p>Pathetic attempt at what, trying to get chanced for the college of my dreams?</p>

<p>Need I remind you that you’re the one with only one post, so if anyone looks like a ■■■■■ here, it is you.</p>

<p>I’ll try not to get too offended by your slightly rude dismissal of my very legit chance thread.</p>
