<p>Ah, I really want to go to Brown. Are my chances very slim? I know my GPA is not as stellar but I was hoping maybe it’s not too far off… </p>

<p>They’re all regular. Thanks, I’ll need as much luck as I can get. :D</p>

15

<p>bumppp anyone else help??</p>

16

<p>Some of these schools (Cornell, Brown) are definite reaches for your GPA. I can’t help but ask, if you knew you weren’t doing well when you took your SAT-II’s, why did you not just cancel the scores?</p>

17

<p>Because I knew that physics was bad, but Math II, I knew I did above 750 and 800 was possible. So I didn;t want to risk cancelling that as well.</p>

18

<p>Lol. I have a couple of friends who partook in the same Korean program thing as you…</p>

19

<p>Cornell and Brown are gonna be reaches because of the GPA.
CM-I think you have a decent shot at.
I don’t know about the rest.
Just write terrific essays.
Good Luck!!</p>
