<p>GPA: 9-12: 3.71/4.24
10-12: 3.73/4.35
Senior year grades haven’t been factored in yet, so it should go up in a while
Courseload: Most rigorous or close to it. Three honors freshman year; three honors, 1 AP sophomore year; 4 APs junior year; 4 APs senior year.</p>

<p>SAT I: 2210 (690CR, 730M, 790W)
I took it for the second time in October. We’ll see how I did, but I think I did really well and I’m pretty sure my score improved. But again, we’ll see.</p>

<p>SAT II: American History: 770
Literature: 720 (I’m gonna retake this and I think I’ll do a lot better b/c literature is kinda my thing)
Math II C: Haven’t taken it yet, but I expect this to be the most challenging SAT II for me because math isn’t my strongest subject. I’m expecting low to mid 700.</p>

<p>APs: AP Euro: 5
APUSH: 5
AP Psych: 5
AP English Language: 5
AP Chem: 4</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: to be honest, I don’t really have anything that amazing.</p>

<p>Tennis: all four years. Played some tournaments. Had major surgery on my feet my junior year, putting me on crutches for months, so I didn’t play much that year. I’ll be on varsity this year.</p>

<p>Music: My main instrument is the clarinet. I’ve had honors like All Southern California band in 9th grade, All State Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Wind Orchestra my junior and senior years, and Colburn Wind Ensemble (a music conservatory in Los Angeles) grades 10-12. I also give clarinet lessons as a part time job. And I have like 70-80 hours of service from either musical therapy or teaching piano at an elementary school. And I love playing the guitar, but I don’t have any awards or anything for it.</p>

<p>Writing: I love writing, but alas, nothing much to prove it. I had something published in my school’s literary arts magazine my junior year, and I write some stuff for this website online, but that’s pretty much it. This year, I have an independent project for school where I’m writing a novel.</p>

<p>Tutoring: I tutor about 5 hours a week. Math and English and Science. So I guess that counts as a part time job.</p>

<p>Green Club: I’m president of this club. It’s basically an environmental club, where we recycle all our school’s trash and fund raise for certain causes. Last year I was secretary.</p>

<p>Art: I’ve been in art for 3 years. I love it. Big hobby of mine. No awards though. Just take the class at school and do it for fun.</p>

<p>I’m also a national merit semifinalist, and I think there’s a good chance I’ll be a finalist.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance if you really love Brown. Your scores are good, and ECs are good too. The thing may pull you back is your GPA, just like mine, is not good enough. best luck and also look at other schools</p>

<p>I don’t know why you should retake the Lit SATII, I think 720 is a pretty high score for this particular test and you’d be better off spending the time on your essay.</p>

4

<p>Agree with BrownParent. Absolutely positively no reason to retake the Lit SAT II.</p>

5

<p>I would take it cold turkey if I were you. 720 isn’t that great (still good though) and just by looking at your other stats, I think you could do better…</p>
