<p>Yes, yes, like everyone else here, I’m very interested - okay, perhaps obsessed - with gaining acceptance to Brown. And, like everyone else, I’m nervous and I don’t think I stand a chance against other highly qualified applicants. However, give me a chance, yeah? (Sorry, I like to think I’m funny sometimes.) If it isn’t too much of a bother, of course…</p>

Essays: Strong Common App essay; completed one supplemental - “Why Brown?”; teacher called it “daring” and said she read it in my voice (and could hear my sass, apparently - at my school, calling someone sassy is a term of endearment…sometimes), which I hope is a good thing?
Teacher Recommendation: Should all be above and beyond fantastic: small school, teachers know me very well and I’m extremely close with them
Counselor Rec: Should be excellent; she knows me well
Additional Rec: Musical director - should also be excellent…if he ever gets around to it; he likes me a lot (I took on a lead role sophomore year with only 2 weeks to prepare) and we had an excellent show this year (I think this year’s seniors are his favorite)
