<p>My reaches are brown and gtown, which im probably not getting into :, but brown college would be my top choice after that.</p>
<p>I’m not good at chances, but I’ll offer two comments.</p>
<p>1) Consider Math 2 instead, since it has a more generous ‘curve’ than M1, and you have already completed precalc. Pickup a prep book and take a practice test at home to see how you do. It’ll only take an hour.</p>
<p>2) Be careful with your essay. When writing about someone else meaningful, it is easy to spend most of the time writing about that person. But “that” person is not applying to college – YOU are. Thus, just make sure the focus is on you, and perhaps how your brother and your family shaped you. and thus what you would bring to the BC community.

<p>Good luck.</p>
