<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I know it's tough to come up with a "chance" evaluation for students, but I'm just curious what you all think. To be honest, I'm just doing this because I'm antsy while waiting to find out about Brown ED.</p>
<p>Academics:
UW GPA: 3.94/4
W GPA: 4.77/5 (highest weighted gpa in high school class of 507 students)
I've taken the hardest curriculum possible all 4 years and have gotten pretty much all A's with a few A-'s and one B+
ACT Composite: 35 (second try)
Didn't take the SAT!
SAT 2 Math 2: 800
SAT 2 US History: 770
AP Tests: Psych - 5, Calc BC - 5, US History - 5, English Lang and Comp - 5, Stats - 5
This Year's AP Tests: Econ Macro and Micro, Physics C, English Lit and Comp, Spanish</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:
4 years on Model UN team, president this year, our team competes nationally and wins several national tournaments each year
2 years tutoring students in all academic subjects, privately and at a place called Mathnasium
2 years volunteer work in my school's "Learning Center" (student to student tutoring during free periods)
4 years on JV and varsity tennis, it's a pretty big time commitment
3 years competing at DECA, qualified for state sophomore year
1 year on mock trial team (it really wasn't that fun haha)
2 years on student senate
1 year playing freshman boys soccer
Trips Each Summer: Homestay trip in salamanca, spain (all spanish speaking as a freshman), 3 week service/adventure trip to costa rica (also spanish speaking immersion), Summer at Brown 3 week engineering program (I think this could help me with brown admission, but i don't know)
Additional service through my dad's company (painting schools / rebuilding community center)
Independently taught AP and Honors Spanish classes on "Teach Day" </p>
<p>Awards:
National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist
AP Scholar with Distinction
National Spanish Honor Society
My High School's Honor Society
2013 Illinois State Scholar
Multiple Team and Individual Model UN Awards at National Level
Nominated for a Leadership Program at my school</p>
<p>Essays and Such:
My common app essays are solid, but probably not as good as some real creative writers who are applying to brown
My brown supplement is also fairly solid, but again not the greatest essays ever written in the history of college applications
Teacher/Counselor Recs - I think (and hope) are all amazing because I picked some good teachers who really know me well
My interview went OK, but my interviewer didn't give me much of a chance to talk too much about my thoughts/experiences, but I think I got my good-natured personality across</p>
<p>Other:
I am a white male from an upper-class family and go to a fairly academically-strong public high school in an affluent chicago suburb
I am in no way a minority (except maybe Jewish? since I talked about how I like to read the Torah for fun) nor do I have any bit of a legacy at Brown
I am applying to the engineering school at Brown - I know I don't have many math/science ECs, but I did take the engineering class at Brown, and I've excelled in all the hard math/science classes (AP Calc, AP Physics, Bio/Chem Honors, Multivairable Calc Honors)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
