Chances for Brown, etc.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Looking for some feedback in applying to Brown, Duke, Williams, and Amherst. I recognize that Brown might be a reach but let me know what you think.</p>

<p>SAT1: 2250 (730 CR, 790 Math, 730 WR)
SAT2: Not yet taken
GPA: 3.91 unweighted, 4.14 weighted
Schedule: Most rigorous schedule possible (Will have 6 APs by the end of senior year and many more honors courses) at a large public school in New Jersey
Class Rank: Not offered at my school</p>

<p>EC:
Cross Country (4 years, varsity 3 years, co-captain 2 years)
Outdoor Track (4 years, varsity 3 years, co-captain 2 years)
Indoor Track (2 years, varsity co-captain both years)
Habitat for Humanity (3 years, no leadership position as of junior year but still participated actively in builds and fundraisers)
National Honor Society</p>

<p>So what do you think? I guess my ecs don't look so great on paper, but NHS is difficult to get into in my school and running has basically been my life haha. I am white, from a NJ public school. I still have to take the SAT1s again and the SAT2s. I haven't written my essays yet but I consider myself a strong writer.</p>

<p>My running accomplishments are good enough to place me on the varsity teams of Williams and Amherst; not so for Duke and Brown.</p>

<p>If you can get on the varsity teams for Amherst and Williams then power to you. Make sure you get high SAT II’s because sometimes they make or break one’s application. Good luck! Apply Early Decision to Brown if you really feel like you have to go.</p>
