Chances at Brown University as a Sophomore

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hiya, </p>

<p>I'm currently a Sophomore in High School, and I've become quite smitten with Brown University. It is, without a doubt, my absolute dream school. Anyway, with that said, I'd really appreciate any comments on my chances at Brown University, or my 2nd-4th favorite schools-Oberlin, Kenyon, or Reed.</p>

<p>Academics:
I go to a High School with a good reputation
GPA (unweighted): 3.86
Freshman year: I took an accelerated english/social studies program, Science, honors Math, 2 academic electives, 1 art elective, and Latin.
Sophomore year: I am taking honors English, honors Math, science, French, Social Studies electives, 1 art elective, 2 academic electives, and Greek as an independent study.
In the next two years I plan on forgoing the majority of electives in order to take double the English classes, as it's my main passion. Based on my personal plan for my classes, I'll also be taking 5 APs over the next two years. </p>

<p>ECs: I'm in two Writing clubs, have done various writing programs/competitions, in Debate and have won multiple awards, community service club, theater club, improv., the school play, as well as pursuing independent studies not through school, for which I plan on taking the AP test. </p>

<p>If you have time, I'd love some feedback on how I currently stand, and have a snazzy day?
(Is there a proper method for ending these?)</p>

<p>So far, so good, but test scores are needed for chances, even at a school like Reed where test scores + class rank + GPA together count for only 20% of admission criteria. Also check each school’s Common Data Set to compare yourself to the most recently admitted freshman class.</p>

<p>Come back in like a year after you’ve taken the SAT. You have good grades and pretty good ECs, so keep those up, but take the SAT. No matter what you get, it’ll be a reach because the ivies are reaches for everyone - but a good SAT score and good GPA will give you as good a chance as anybody.</p>
