<p>How did you take AP Math three times and AP Spanish three times? There are only two AP Mathematics test and one AP Spanish test.</p>

3

<p>ok i guess its technically called Advanced not AP
but its the level of the course above honors and all our teachers call it AP</p>

4

<p>You have a good shot at getting into Brown, especially with your focus on filming. You will also probably get into Yale what with that amazing legacy… Harvard’s probably a stretch.</p>

5

<p>ty for helping me get my hopes up…
only to be dashed against the ground… :(</p>

<p>Well, that is why you should also have matches and safeties. Your numbers are good, but it is only part of admission process. It is not necessary the best students academically who get in, it is the students who also have other amazing EC who get in.</p>

<p>BTW, I believe that you cannot apply both Yale SCEA and Brown ED. You should visit the schools and see which one you like the most.</p>

<p>This is just my 2 cents. :)</p>

7

<p>i’m not applying Yale SCEA.
i just copied this post from an old chance me post and forgot to remove it :(</p>

<p>i have applied Brown ED already…
i will apply to other schools if i do not get in</p>

<p>You look great but there are just too many good students applying to Brown. If you have safeties and matches that you like, you will do fine where you go in September.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
