<p>What are your unweighted grades? SATS look good. DId you take SAT IIs? Also, your ECs don't leap out at me but if you told a good story with your essay/app, I think you'll be just fine! Good luck. Where do you stand with other schools?</p>

<p>It is, in fact. I mae this profile two years ago, when I thought that Brown was the place for independant thinkers and lovers of Joyce...then I visited.</p>
