<p>Amor caelestis, what's his weakest point? I think he's a strong candidate, but what makes him an uninteresting candidate for Brown? I am so curious b/c I also want to apply to Brown.</p>

<p>I don't see anything weak with that, but I don't see anything strong either. I think the biggest challenge will be standing out in some way. Better have some killer essays.</p>

<p>The essay is what i keep hearing: any suggestions to make a killer essay?</p>

<p>Be candid and interesting.</p>
