<p>I definitely think that you should get into Brown. Your GPA is a bit low, but everything else is very good. your stats are enviable. btw, what schools rejected you?</p>

<p>hey, thanks! columbia rejected me. i regret not applying to Brown early instead- i love it just as much, but i thought Brown had a history of not accepting many people from my school. apparently not true for this year, they accepted THREE of my classmates early. meh. anyway thanks again.</p>
