<p>ECs are competitive as far as I’m aware of. You’re a strong candidate for Stanford REA! Even though it’s super competitive, you’re in the ballpark and I would say you have a shot. What you’re most likely aware of is Stanford’s low EA acceptance rate, which is like… 13%? Definitely don’t get too hopeful about Stanford.</p>

<p>As for Brown, as long as your essays are good and there’s nothing wrong with your application, you’ve got a great chance! I’d say high match for Brown.</p>

<p>I think it’s important to understand Brown is almost equally tough to get into. The accepted 9% last year!</p>

<p>You’re in the running.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! :slight_smile: I chanced you back, Redemption.</p>

<p>Any other takers?</p>

<p>You’re definitely a strong candidate. It’s always hard to tell anyone they are a shoo-in, since these elite schools are extremely unpredictable. That being said, your chances are looking good</p>

<p>Definately a solid candidate! Good scores, good GPA, solid ECs. The only thing that could pull you back is that you don</p>

<p>Definately a solid candidate! Good scores, good GPA, solid ECs. The only thing that could pull you back is that you don’t really have anything that sticks out. But I’m guessing your essays are great since you seem to have an accredited passion for writing!</p>

<p>Btw plz chance me back!

<p>Yes, make sure your essays are stellar. After a certain point, Stanford admissions all come down to essays.</p>
