<p>was just wondering what you guys thought my chances would be at Brown or Cornell. . I was planning on applying early decision at one of them. I'm at a pretty good private all girls high school. </p>
<p>GPA: 4.1 (out of like 4.2 - my school doesnt go up that high)
SAT: 1960 720R 590M 650W (this was my first time on no preparation. I'm taking them again in June)
All As and Bs. My school's grading system is A = 94 and up B+ = 90-93 B= 84-89</p>
<p>National Honor Society Parliamentarian, and I'm running for president for next year
Four years Varsity cheerleading
Three years High Honors (so far)
Diocesan Scholar Candidate
French Club
Yearbook
Environmental Club
Various art awards
Volunteer at my church's nursery for 4 years
Out of school art classes since elementary school
Art related summer program</p>
<p>I take all the highest level classes possible at my school. For APs (this year and next) AP Literature, Language, American History, Portfolio, and Government. Four years of French</p>
<p>For Brown, youll need a 2150 up for a decentish shot, especially a math score above 650.
id say brown is a super reach and cornell is a high reach</p>
<p>yes, your SAT scores are on the low side. i recommend retaking them, and aiming for at least a 2100.
on the brighter side, you are taking a bunch of hard classes and your school does have a tough grading system.
it seems to me that your ECs are all over the place. you’ll probably get at least one leadership position, but you are going to need more than that.
brown is special because it gives undergraduates a lot of freedom; they basically let you construct your courses of study. so you need to prove to those admissions people that you are fine with taking control of what you do.
i’m guessing that you will want to focus on your art, right? i suggest trying out for the presidential scholar in the arts award, the scholastic art & writing award, etc. and there are a bunch of programs that could help further your artistic style.
the problem is, i can’t really tell what you want to do when you grow up: based on your ECs and your choice of APs, there are a lot of different paths you could take. which isn’t always a bad thing, but if you are serious about these two colleges, you need to narrow your interests and really work hard at them.
right now, brown and cornell are really high reaches, but if you boost yours ECs and show just how much you care about them, you would give yourself a better shot. hope i helped.</p>
