Chances at Brown

<p>Hey Everyone,</p>

<p>I am extremely interested in applying to Brown early decision next year and was curious about the “ideal” SAT score and GPA that an accepted applicant would carry.</p>

<p>Chance Me?</p>

<p>My high school’s GPA is Graded on a weighed 5.0 scale and does not give any brownie points for subjects like gym, culinary etc. Only Academic subjects are scored. My high school is also a gold medal high school, ranking around 250 in the nation out of 21,000 High schools.</p>

<p>Freshman Year: I had a lack of care in middle school which resulted in my enrollment in B level classes.
GPA- 3.33 (straight A-'s and one B+)</p>

<p>Sophomore year: All Honors level courses. Sophomore difficulty rank- 10/10
GPA-4 .5 (Top of class)</p>

<p>Junior Year: 4 AP’s 2 Honors. Junior Difficulty Rank- 10/10
GPA- 4.75 (Top of Class)</p>

<p>I am expecting the same thing for my senior year.</p>

<p>After acquiring straight A-'s in low level my Freshman year, I took a risk of moving into all honors classes which resulted in all A+'s. My Junior year I took 4 AP’s and 2 Honors classes, agin receiving all A+'s. Since colleges like to see vast improvement over the course of your HS career, I’m hoping the low level classes during my freshman year will be to benefit, as I received all A+'s in high level throughout the rest of my career.</p>

<p>SAT:
-2200</p>

<p>My extra curricular were pretty much all business related in some way:</p>

<p>-Future Business Leaders of America (President).
-Amnesty International (President).
-Popular singer on youtube (50k followers).
-Taken camps at Penn
-Started small business
-Many more business EC’s</p>

<p>I have MAJOR connections to Brown through my father. My dad is an extremely successful entrepreneur who created one of the most successful record companies of all time. He had artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Iron Maiden and many more. He will definitely donate money to Penn. Hopefully he can use some of his magic and money :/</p>

<p>I have received numerous academic awards in each subject that i do not feel like listing right now. haha. Advanced Scientific research contest awards (business related). FBLA, NHS and more academic.</p>

<p>I am Male, 1/2 indian and have traveled to numerous every continent except for Oceania and Antarctica.</p>

<p>Business is something I am extremely passionate about and would love to work with my father one day. I truly believe I will have a top notch essay for various reasons. Back in my earlier years (elementary school through the beginning of sophomore year) I had diagnosed anxiety in which I was highly medicated for. I was also diagnosed with a disease called Trichiliamania (not sure of spelling) which is when an individual pulls there air out due to stress and anxiety. I will not explain any more, as there I could write a novel of how much distress this caused me. I also lost 25 pounds my freshman year, as I was a tad chubby before. Pretty cut now (Don’t know if this helps)</p>

<p>How are my chances?</p>

<p>Thank You for your time, Guys!</p>

<p>How would your father donating money to Penn help you get into Brown?</p>

<p>“curious about the “ideal” SAT score and GPA that an accepted applicant would carry.”</p>

<p>Brown will favor applicants with a 4.0 UW gpa and a 2400 SAT.</p>

<p>Yeah, if you are under 2300 and don’t have a 4.0 uw gpa you really want some kind of hook that Brown can look at. They want someone who’s dedicated and motivated to do something; whether it’s soccer, band or dance.</p>

<p>If you do want to pursue business then you really want to show that to Brown which I think you’re doing already.</p>
