<p>At most of the schools you listed, I think you have a decent shot. Your test scores are impressive, your ECs are solid, and you seem like a very well-rounded person. Plus, you have legacy advantages at Brown and Yale. Being Jewish won't help or hurt--we're Jewish, and my daughter wondered if that would be an advantage in her college application process. (She's a high school senior now.) I said "no," because Jews are an over-represented minority these days, just as Asians are. Best of luck! (My daughter also applied to Brown.)</p>

<p>All A+'s except for one class? Looks like grade inflation. What's your rank?</p>

<p>^^ Not to be, judging by his ECs, I think those are well earned grades. I myslef had only A+'s my sophmore and junior year.</p>

<p>Your stats seem grate, and I think you have a decent shot at the school you want. Actually, I think there might be some bias because my stats are just shy of yours; I want to go to the same schools as you. Good luck!</p>

<p>"rachels challenge club"<-----???</p>

<p>You seem like a stereotypical entitled legacy. However, I can't see why you wouldn't get into Brown and probably Yale, especially if you can bump up your SAT to a 2300.</p>

<p>brosfam those are all well deserved grades that I acquired through hard work and studying. To state that I received these grades because of inflation is a brazen assumption and quite frankly is insulting. For everyone else who posted thanks so much what do you think are my chances at the other schools besides brown and yale. Also my school doesn't have ranks</p>

<p>yeah this kid is a stud, gotta love him</p>

<p>You have a good overall SAT score, but it's unfortunate that the 780 is writing, which neither Brown nor Yale is counting this year, leaving your SAT borderline acceptable. However, with legacy, if your app is strong (great recs) and your school respected, you have a good shot. Especially if your family is generous to the schools.</p>

<p>will brown or yale be accepting the writing part for next year's admissions seeing as I'm currently a junior?</p>

<p>I think you're in at Brown. I knew someone last year who had much lower stats, but was a legacy and got in. Especially if your mother is active, which it seems she is, I feel you'll be fine. Although you still have a long way to go until you apply, seeing as you're only a junior!</p>
