<p>and I've talked to the golf coach but he just said if I make it in then I'll be on the team... I've been kinda anxious these past few days</p>

3

<p>looking at the numbers, you have a pretty solid chance to brown ed. you also have strong ECs w/ leadership so i believe you are a strong candidate. If you wrote a good essay, then you will most likely get in</p>

4

<p>with golf id be surprised if you didnt get in. and your sats are very solid even for ivy. the one weakness is your aps, because you didn't send them...</p>

5

<p>omg @ your course load! I say you have a very fair shot at Brown ED! excellent rank :)</p>

6

<p>haha, static75, you're awesome.</p>

7

<p>You are in the general score ranges with a very good class rank which is a very good starting point. Add in golf, a couple good recs, ED and a good essay and you're in. Good luck man.</p>

8

<p>thanks irugee
also I would like to go to BC if Brown doesnt work out (weird combo, I know)
anyone have any input on that?</p>

9

<p>anyone have any safety school options for me?</p>

10

<p>yeah i'd say you look good. </p>

<p>chance back?

<p>if you dont get into BC, i would be surprised. Safeties really depend on what you want.. for an example, im applying to BU and Stonehill as safeties because i like their neuroscience programs and they are one of the few low tier schools that have astronomy.<br>
I dont know what you really want from the colleges but im pretty sure you can find your kind of safeties easily.</p>

12

<p>I no longer chance but I will point out that at any ivy, a very good rank is top 2. I'll use Dartmouth as a good mid range example. 40% of those ranked were either number 1 or 2 in class. </p>

<p>Next consider median GPA. At Dartmouth for the class of 2012: 740M, 730CR.</p>

<p>So for a good chance at Dartmouth with no hook, and I mwould guess Brown is similar, you would be top 2 with over 1470 SAT.</p>

13

<p>mephisto your posts are always helpful
and hmom, thanks, i have a 1470 right on the dot haha. although, would a golf coach whose not actually sponsoring me but putting in a good word for admissions considered a hook?</p>

14

<p>Not a hook but maybe a tip? Golf is not a revenue sport so....</p>

15

<p>Actually,</p>

<p>a very reputable source of mine told me that you're either the valedictorian, 2-10, or not top ten. So, itsgametime, I am very certain that you match well with other applicants at Brown.</p>
