Chances at Brown (Cognitive Science) next year

<p>Gender: Male
Race: Indian
GPA: Projected 4.78 W, unweighted 4.0 (only really 4 quarters of school left to do that)
Rank: 3 or 4/596</p>

<p>SAT I: 2270 ( 770 CR, 700 M, 800 W)
SAT II: Signed up for June exams in US hist. Biology, and Math II. In math and science i will probably have 740-780 since i will have just finished studying for the AP’s. With math II i will have to restudy because i took precalc last year, and am now in Calc.</p>

<p>Courses: Toughest, 11 AP’s, Some ones that i think might stick out are Multivariable Calc. (taken as a senior) and AP Studio Art (senior)
**For the academy i am in we have to do a mandatory 100 hour mentorship or 140 hour independent study in a math or science field. Would this be impressive or not since technically it is part of my curriculum.</p>

<p>EC’s: This is what i consider my weak spot, what do you guys think</p>

<p>Scholastic Bowl (3 years) captain 1 year (district and regional champions)</p>

<p>Football JV (2 years)-does JV make it weaker, i mean it was still a huge time commitment of 3+ hours a day and in the summer.</p>

<p>French Honor Society</p>

<p>Operation Smile</p>

<p>Comm. Service:
Volunteer for the summer reading program at library (50 hours)
Volunteering at an aquarium. (50-100 hours)</p>

<p>Work Exp.
***Founded a shirt company with some friends, i think this is the most unique part of my app, expresses interest in business and design.</p>

<p>Worked as a graphic Designer for a local ad company one summer.</p>

<p>Will have an internship at a investment group over the summer</p>

<p>Your stats are obvioulsy really good for the field you’re interested in, and I think you have a good level of involvement in your extra curriculars, if you wrote an essay on the shirt company you founded, it might give you that unique edge you need. </p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good shot overall.</p>

<p>yeah i am considering writing my essay about the shirt company, also when applying do i declare a major if i am already set on one, and if i have to, does it affect acceptance chances in anyway, or are applicants assessed regardless of the major they want to pursue.</p>
