<p>Notable: Throughout school I have had a speech impediment (called stuttering) and have really battled it throughout high school. It has shaped who I am as an individual and I would really like to showcase this to a school like Brown which likes odd characters with a good story. I am also a liberal living in a very conservative community where I often get alot of flak, and feel very comfortable voicing my opinion.</p>

<p>I'd say JHU will be one of the toughest, but you are well qualified for all of those schools, barring you don't screw up bigtime your senior year. EC's are really good, as well as your SATs and grades, and you attend a good high school. All of this compiled with your speech impediment (I would STRONGLY recommend writing about this on your admissions essays) should get you amazing consideration. Finish your junior/senior years hard to give yourself the best chance. Also try to become section leader in your music groups/captain on your sports teams if possible.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm in the same situation as you, living in a conservative community and attending a conservative closed minded high school, and it definitely has made me comfortable to voice my opinion as well =D</p>
<p>I'm glad i have chance to chance you... you're right on how people don't understand what we go through everyday, it is very sad. BUT on your chances
I agree with the above poster, you are well-qualified and your speech impediment does make you stand out and do you have a class rank? it would help </p>
