<p>Unfortunately, I think that your SAT II scores and status as a Canadian international will do you quite a disservice. Most American schools receive applications from plenty of Canadians with 700+ SAT scores. That said, Brown’s admissions process does seem to be one of the most hollistic in the nation, so you never know. I think a great essay and some quirky extracurriculars might make up the ground lost to low subject test scores. Good luck!</p>
