Hi! I’m currently a junior in hs and brown is my dream school. I’m planning on applying early decision next year so for the class of 2022. and idk if this helps at all but my sibling goes there?
It would be amazing if you guys could help me so I can improve within the next year.
So here are my stats:
I haven’t taken the ACT yet but I’ve been getting 32s and 31s on practice tests so hopefully I study more and my score is around a 34 when I take it in February
Grades:
-My school doesn’t rank and I’ve gotten straight a’s (so far)
-Including next year, I’ll have 6 ap classes. I’ve only taken the psych test so far and I got a 4.
EC:
- layout editor for school newspaper
-art club Vice President
-deca: went to nationals last year and qualified for states 9th and 10th grade
-model un 9th and 10th grade
-don’t wanna be too specific but I started an organization that helps those in poverty and we reached $1m in donations, won 3 small grants, 1 nationwide grant
-started a club for the organization above: founder and president
-4 years varsity cross country, captain for one year
-other small clubs that are insignificant and I probably won’t put on my application
-job: worked at pool for a summer, started an online business selling clothes I make but it’s not a big well known company or anything
Community service:
A bunch of hours from deca and 500 from organization I started
Summer activities: I did an engineering program at a college but I don’t intend on doing anything related to that. I’m thinking of doing architecture
Awards: I don’t want to be specific for privacy reasons but I was a finalist for a big service award, the 4 grants mentioned above
I also plan on submitting an art portfolio
I’m mostly worried about leadership, act scores, and not having a very rigorous course load cause I know some other people applying to Brown and it feels like they are waaaaay more prepared than me
and Idk if this could be a hook or maybe an essay topic but I have two dads. Could that help?
Oh also I’m from ny which is pretty competitive I think
Thanks!!
