So you survived cancer at 12, founded a nonprofit organization at 10, presented an abstract at an international psychiatry conference (for professionals), founded a fashion company, and shot the pilot for a television show pitched in LA before 18?

<p>I'm sorry. But as a fellow teenager, I just...don't believe you. The list is impressive, yes, but so over-the-top that it's impossible not to be extremely suspicious and, to be honest, more than a little doubtful...I've seen plenty of crazy chance threads, but aside from the GPA/scores, this one seems to top them all...</p>
<p>Believe it or not.. that's the truth. Sometimes life works out in funny ways.</p>
<p>if only colleges cared MORE about ECs than they do about Grades, you're similar to me in that sense, so good luck to us!</p>
<p>oh Thanks FdIvySibling! and, yes, good luck to us is right! </p>
<p>I'm actually posting because I just recently wrote a letter to convey my passion for attending Brown. I've sent it to the admissions office, who said that they will put it in my file. I also visited Brown again, including the admissions office, just for a quick hello so the person handling my app for the dual degree program could see the face behind the application. I seriously think im doing everything i possibly can. Would someone like me to pm them the letter I wrote and let me know how much they think it will really matter during review of my app? thanks!</p>
<p>if you love fashion so much why don't you apply to any fashion design/art schools? Since you live in new york why don't you apply to FIT?</p>
<p>because i want to attend and know i would be successful in an intellectual community such as brown, not fit.</p>
<p>Eskimo, I have to know if you go in!!</p>
