Chances of getting into Brown University?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey everyone! I just recently applied to Brown University early decision. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about my possible opportunity of receiving admission if I posted my statistics below? I just recently had an interview, which was supposed to last 30-40 minutes, but ended up lasting a little over an hour...although, I am aware that interviews do not make that great of an impact. I know that CC's opinions are subjective and not the final opinion, so I won't be hurt if anyone says I don't have a chance. Even the most brightest students get rejected from Ivy League schools, so in all honesty I would be surprised if someone like me (I consider myself a little above average Jane) gets denied.

<p>Well...let's assume my essays were all right! What do you guys think?</p>

2

<p>Brown - Low Reach
What did you submit for your test scores? Both of them or ACT only?</p>

3

<p>You’re too kind lol! Is it that bad up in Providence? I really wanted to apply there because of their flexibility in their curriculum…there are so many things I want to do in college haha.</p>

4

<p>Brown is a fantastic school. No matter what College Confidential seems to think, there are great schools out there other than HYPSM.</p>

<p>I would say you’re definitely competitive! It’s a reach, as with any Ivy, but you’ve certainly got a decent chance.</p>

5

<p>I submitted the ACT…lol, that SAT is not getting me anywhere.</p>

6

<p>Well, we will see how it goes -.-
It’s an Ivy League regardless, and there’s always someone better than you out there.</p>

7

<p>Bump bump bump</p>

8

<p>low reach good luck!</p>

9

<p>I would say Brown is a low reach. </p>

<p>Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1585908-columbia-ed-results-around-corner-last-chance.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1585908-columbia-ed-results-around-corner-last-chance.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

10

<p>This may be a silly question…but is low reach a bad thing? Does it mean that I barely have a chance or something?</p>

11

<p>btw, would anyone like to read the essays I’ve submitted for Brown? :)</p>

12

<p>What were your AP scores? I would say you have a good shot based on what you said for getting into Brown, but PLME is really competitive so it is a reach for everyone.</p>

13

<p>My AP Scores are as follows:</p>

<p>AP Biology-5
AP Chemistry-5
AP Calculus BC-5 (AB subscore of 5 as well)
AP English Language- 4
AP Environmental Science- 5
AP Statistics- 5</p>

<p>This year I’m going to take the AP Gov, AP Euro, AP Psych, and AP Lit tests hopefully.</p>

<p>Btw, my SAT subject test scores are …
Math Level II: 800
Biology M: 760
French w/ Listening: 700</p>

14

<p>God save the queen. The result comes out on the 12th…this Thursday. I don’t think I am mentally prepared for this.</p>

<p>@bigtimeseller232 , </p>

<p>It all depends on how your school weighs certain classes.
At my school,
AP Courses are weighted at a 6.0
Honors are 5.0
Standards are 4.0</p>

<p>Rounded all together from freshman year to the end of junior year, I reached a 5.0. Had I gotten straight A’s, I’d have 5.2 weighted and a 4.0 unweighted. I hope that makes sense!</p>

16

<p>OH GOD. the result comes out tomorrow guys. Literally having a breakdown!!</p>

17

<p>I know there isn’t much I can do at this point…but if anyone has any advice or would like to last-minute chance me, that’d be great :)</p>

18

<p>Arrghh! I wish I knew about that website before >.<</p>

19

<p>Hey everyone, I’ll have you all know, I got wait-listed!
I’m not upset or anything, just a little flabbergasted that it’ll take till spring!!
If anyone was interested, I forgot to mention that I submitted an art supplement.
Finally, does anyone know how to submit additional materials to Brown?</p>

<p>@bigtimeseller232,
My school also runs on a block schedule. Meaning, I get to take four classes per semester, and then when a new semester comes, it’s four different classes. That way, I was able to double up in my math and French subjects my freshman year.</p>
