<p>I’m very enthusiastic about Brown, and that shows in my essays. I wrote about achieving despite my area in the supplement, and how I was self-motivated and would enjoy the open curriculum at Brown. My major perks are my essays, interview, poor area, and dedication to ECs. I said that I wanted to major in Public Policy and American Institutions. I’ve taken classes like International Relations, Western Political Thought, and AP Gov, so that’ll support my case.
I’m a little concerned about my GPA, and my test scores could be better, but I recently developed carpal tunnel, so re-taking is out for me.
Thanks so much!</p>

<p>I’m not an admissions officer so I couldn’t tell you what your specific rep is looking for in a candidate…</p>

<p>But, the passion is there, which is really important to Brown. Could you by any chance provide a breakdown of your grades? It’s more helpful than just seeing a straight GPA.</p>
