<p>I’m a senior at a very good public high school in New Jersey and am curious of my chances for Brown.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>4.0 GPA (my school doesn’t rank but I am probably in the top 5-10 people out of a class of 350)</li>
<li>2380 SAT (800V, 800W, 780M)</li>
<li>800 and 760 on 2 SAT IIs</li>
</ul>
<p>I have taken the hardest course load at my school (4 APs up until this year - all 5s) and am taking another 3 this year.</p>
<p>I am an all-state trumpet player, editor of the school paper, president of the community service club, captain of the nationally-recognized quiz bowl team, and have helped found a service non-profit that has raised over $20,000 (and has been recognized by CNN).</p>
<p>Main Awards: National Merit Semifinalist, Cum Laude, Harvard Book Award, Cornell Book Award, AP Scholar with Honor, President’s Volunteer Service Award, Scholastic Writing Award (National Gold Medal)</p>
<p>Wow! Very nice scores. Basically flawless, plus your service to the community is really great. I think you’ve got a very good shot at any Ivy, but you never know because of statistical anomalies. Just write a good essay and I can’t see why you wouldn’t get in. Apply to other schools too though, definitely.</p>
<p>Your scores and rigor pass the threshold into the nether regions of “have you cured cancer yet?” Basically, you are smart; CB and your high school have established that fact. Now colleges just have to weed out the people who did nothing but smoke weed during high school. Because you helped found a highly successful and recognized charitable organization and are deeply involved in a few clubs, you should be able to get into at least one or two of the Ivies if you apply to all of them. Barring unusual circumstances (committing a felony, or worse, failing a class any time soon), you should be fine.</p>
Good chance.</p>
