To give some sort of reference, i was in my guidance counselor's office and she told me she thought that my high school had won the lottery by getting to have me as a student.</p>

<p>My essay is about being raised by lesbians and how it's affected me in my acceptance of my family and of myself.</p>

Sophomore Class Council Representative / Senior Class Treasurer
Drama Club/Plays (4 years)
Scholar Bowl Varsity Team (2 years)

<p>*some ECs end at 2 years because i transferred schools between sophomore and junior year so it's not quite as scattered as it seems. my new school didn't have the ECs my old school did.</p>

<p>Volunteering</p>

<p>200 + Volunteer hours at a pediatric hospital and a regular hospital</p>

<p>Congratulations on bringing up your ACT score. Your stats are in range for Brown and Penn, but with a sub-10% acceptance rate, they are reaches for everyone. URM could definitely help. You should have a good shot at Tufts, but nothing is guaranteed.</p>

<p>Be careful with your essay. Rainbow is the new black. It seems like every third kid has two dads or two moms, so the topic will not be unique. Bring your own individuality into the essay. Good luck.</p>

<p>anyone else? bumpp? btw Brown is probably ED if that helps</p>

<p>Great ECs, especially w/ leadership positions! Agree with skieurope above about your essay topic- I’m sure you can make it unique though! Maybe you could touch on the new levels of acceptance and contrast them with the old? Everything seems in order, it would be nice if you could get a paid internship/job experience, but its not necessary.</p>

<p>ED acceptance rate to Brown was about 19% this year i believe and 70% were deferred (You probably already knew that) so I think you definitely have a good chance for Brown, High Match/Low Reach IMO. Good luck!</p>

<p>Brown/U Penn is a reach for most people but you are near the ballpark for all three so you should be good! Im sure the essay will help, spend time on it bc its a major part</p>
