3

<p>Have you taken any SAT subject tests?</p>

4

<p>I took Biology and Math 1 freshman year and got 630 and 660 respectively, but I am taking Biology and Math 2 in November so Ill probably do better then.</p>

5

<p>hello?</p>

6

<p>What’s you class rank? What kind of school do you attend?</p>

7

<p>I go to a small private school in Massachusetts and they don’t give official rankings but I’m probably 3rd or 4th. (there are only about 35 students in my grade)</p>

8

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>None of us can accurately “chance” you, especially with your SAT scores. Did you take them again in October? Hopefully you raised the CR score and your CR+M super score will be above a 1400.</p>

<p>I think you are a great candidate and you will get in to some fantastic schools (UofR?, JHU?, Emory?, etc). But Brown is a crap shoot and I don’t see anything that really “pops” here.</p>

<p>With your current profile I would say your chances are not great. Honestly the only thing really giving you a bump is your ethnic background and ED. These factors can sometimes make the difference though. </p>

<p>WGPA (out of 5?) is very low, it indicates to me that your course load has not been that rigorous. Senior year load looks great though.
CR score is very low. W is low but not sure that matters. Subject test scores are low, hopefully your Oct and Nov test scores will be higher.</p>

<p>Unless your essay is expertly written it doesn’t sound like a winner for Brown to me.</p>

<p>The awards and ECs are very good, but nothing that is really that exciting.</p>

<p>If I were you I would be focusing on other schools, since there’s nothing you can do about Brown at this point. (This is advice I give to all ED applicants)</p>

<p>You asked…</p>
