<p>Your stats and ECs are great but bring up that CR a bit.</p>

3

<p>Bump…</p>

4

<p>bring up your CR and ur in. It has to be above a 730 for you to have a legitiment shot. Otherwise, everything seems good. CR ^ = your in</p>

5

<p>You must seriously be joking
All Universities would be blessed to have you</p>

<p>Haha panman, I wish you were right. I was already rejected Yale SCEA and MIT RD</p>

<p>Ha my friends don’t believe me when I say I doubt I’ll get in to the Ivies I applied to. If you don’t, I’m SOL! Good luck with Brown, hope you’ll get in! Because your CR is a tad low, I would’ve thought you’d have a better chance at more mathmatically orientated schools like MIT than Brown which is more liberal arts orientated. Just a theory :slight_smile: You’ll do great and enjoy wherever you go. There is always grad school!!</p>
