<p>Hello. I’m an asian international student who goes to school in the US. (not helping at all)
I came to the US 3 years ago, without fluency in English.</p>

<p>GPA: 9th (3.9 unweighted)
10th (3.3 unweighted 3.7 weighted) (I transfered this time)
11th (3.8 unweighted 4.3 weighted)
tooks Honors and APs whenever possible</p>

<p>AP: Stats, Macro, Micro, Eng Lang all 5</p>

<p>Ranking: (without 9th grade because I transfered… top 20% i think. My school doesn’t rank but that’s my guess)</p>

<p>Awards: National Merit Semifinalist, AP Scholar with Distinction (or honor i forgot)</p>

<p>SAT: 2310 (770 800 740)
SAT2: 800 Math2 660 Lit 680 French (will be retaking them)</p>

<p>Extracurricular: Some leadership positions, 2 really unique ones that i bet no one else has, and lots of ordinary crap like model un, mock trial… etc.</p>

<p>I wish I could explain my transfering to a top public school from a small school as an explanation for my bad grades in 10th…because I really worked hard but that year was just so tough on me, taking honors and AP for the first time, plus going to a place with 0 friend for the first time…</p>

<p>Please any brown student, or anyone, chance me if I will get in for ED.
Brown is my absolute favorite.</p>

<p>I applied ED~
your 9th and 10th grade GPA is higher than mine - so don’t worry about that
maybe you could talk about the challenges in your essays??
if you came to America 3 years ago without fluency in english, but your SAT scores are way higher than mine (1870), and I’m Asian, have been living in the US since I was born, then you seem to be really good in english, and also brilliant in math. But keep in mind that your SAT and AP scores aren’t the biggest factors.
Extracurricular: it’s not so much about what others don’t have that you do, but about you doing what you want/love to do. I only had basketball and swimming and nothing else, but those were the things that I wanted to do, b/c it’s not like i was taught to appreciate the value of volunteering, really.
If you’re planning on applying ED then start your essays! I started mine beginning of july. good luck</p>
