Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Yeah so basically I'm a white male who lives in rural Virginia, and I want to get out of this sh!&hole and go to Brown. Check my stats:</p>

<p>White male anglosaxon Protestant
Small public high school
Currently #1 in class of 190
All A's (no A-'s either) throughout high school
4.4 weighted GPA
I have taken every possible college/AP class
SATs- 2170 (680 CR 730 M 760 W)
SAT IIs- 660 Math 2, 710 Physics, 790 US History
APs- 5 on AP Euro and US
I also want to mention that I have a vested interest in French, I visited France last year and I hosted a student this summer. I'm taking AP french this year online and I did a summer governors school program for French this summer as well.</p>

<p>As for extracurriculars-
4 years of varsity tennis (was #1 last year)
4 years of varsity cross country
4 years concert band, 2nd chair flute last year
Play jazz piano, started a local combo last year
Pretty active in church; I have been acolyting since I was 9 pretty regularly
NHS president, class president last year</p>

<p>I can't really think of anything else but honestly I don't really do anything else that matters to me. Thank you all for time, I know how these chance threads can be.</p>

<p>I feel like this has been said before but obviously you’re qualified to go to that school. It’s a shame though that affirmative actions works against you. My advice would just work on your SAT score (even though it’s great), work your hardest senior year, and to simply hope for the best.</p>

<p>Thanks, I agree that there are a lot of people on this site who are obviously qualified just asking for praise/assurance. You’re right, I don’t have sky high SATs, but I’ve already taken them 3 times so I doubt I’ll do it again. Thanks</p>
