<p>My chances thread for Brown University:</p>

<p>HS: large public school in CA/ so far ranked 1 out of class of about 500.

Currently a junior, set to apply to my dream school since freshman year! </p>

<p>Some of my ECs (excluded a few items and my awards for anonymity):

  • Class Vice-Prez sophomore year
  • City youth orchestra concertmaster
  • President of school’s volunteer club…more than 300 hours of volunteer service around the community
  • Summer research program- selected as one of 20 out of 200 applicants…Siemens Westinghouse semifinalist

<p>I’m also applying to Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Dartmouth, and a few others.</p>

<p>I’m not an expert at this sort of thing, but your stats look pretty amazing!! I’d say you have a good shot, but I could be wrong. Just make sure you come across as a real, interesting, passionate person in your essays- you don’t want admissions to think that you’re a robot.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a very good chance. What are you applying for? If you apply for an Sc. b in the hard sciences, maintain your stats, and show how much you love Brown, your chances are 80+%!</p>
