Chances [oh no not ANOTHER one] for a Brown lover

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I am a sophomore from India and I’d like to go to an Ivy or an equally good college. Academically, I am very good - won’t be a problem (top 5 in the class anyone should be good, right?). It’s only the extracurriculars that I am worried about. Please tell me whether I’m doing good and give me some advice on how I can improve my chances (keep in mind that I live in India) - I will do what you advice me to do only if I will enjoy it as well.</p>

<p>In School:</p>

<p>All these till 12th:</p>

<p>*State- and national-level tennis (I play for about 10-12 hours a week)
*Lots of working out to supplement the above
*Model UN
*School Magazine
*School level basketball, hockey, throwball (captain), football, table tennis (player)
*Participation in all olympiads
*Organising school activities
*Participation in school level quizzes, debates, etc.
*Tutoring friends/classmates in my spare time/whenever they ask - for now charges, of course :slight_smile: (I like helping people)
*1 year of drums (9th)
*I playED the keyboard for 7-odd years
*After my ICSE exams next March I’ll do quite a bit of volunteer work
*I do quite a bit of cooking and baking on my own
*Doing out-of-syllabus math is one of my major hobbies</p>

<p>Now, if you’re willing to asses oh-yet-another-pesky-sophomore-wanting-his-chances, please do; I’d love to hear what you have to say.</p>
