Sent art portfolio (slides) for review.
Dad taught at Brown, but it was several years ago and will probably not help me at all.</p>

<p>Brown rejects 67% of valedictorians, 75% of those with a 800M, 75% of those with a 800V, and, I suppose, about 60% of legacies. </p>

<p>This means that you will be rejected 277% of the time.</p>

<p>OMG, don't listen to beprepn...lol. I think you have a very good chance!</p>

<p>The only weakness I see is the ECs. Your involvement seems to be concentrated in your junior and senior years, which is something colleges do not like to see.</p>

6

<p>Thanks. But mainly it is just my leadership positions that are concentrated in the last couple of years. I have been a member of most of these clubs for longer than that (does that help?). I didn't write how long I've just been a member...</p>

<p>only second on the National German Exam?</p>

<p>save yourself some money and go buy a Cornell sweatshirt.</p>

8

<p>you're definitely qualified and you definitely deserve to get in.</p>

<p>of course that doesn't really mean much when it comes to ivy league college admissions.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>I was actually first among non-native speakers, if that means anything... First place went to a German girl, which I thought was sort of unfair. But I'm not complaining about being 2nd!</p>

<p>You ain't gonna go to Brown even if you get accepted. Right?</p>
