<p>You look good but I don't see anything there that makes you "jump out" or seem particularly unique, especially given that your SAT verbal and GPA are good but not particularly stellar. This doesn't mean you won't get in, but you'll have to find something that stands out about you and write some awesome essays.</p>

<p>And just so you know, Brown doesn't offer minors. Given our open curriculum, it's fairly easy and common to take two concentrations (majors) or just take a bunch of classes in an area you're interested in if you don't want to formally declare the concentration.</p>

<p>sat is not the only thing for christ sake. start worrying about your essay instead. they give that just as much if not more according to admissions reps!</p>
