<p>I currently go to a international baccalaureate (IB) public school in New York. I currently have a 95 UW GPA and will graduate in the top 5% of my class (probably 6/180). I recently scored a 1860 on my SATS (700 M, 550 CR, 610 W). I am involved in a good number of extracirricular activities. I recently got a part time job, I volunteer(ed) at a total of two nursing homes, I am a member of bio diversity, habitat for humanity and WEME(card making organization for senior citizens.) I have 150+ hours of volunteer work including volunteering at a church. Additionally, I am a member of National Honor Society, as well as Spanish National Honor Society and Math National Honor Society. I am also a member of club 90, and have received two awards for student of the month in history and psychology. I will have great recommendations and a great essay. Also, I am technically considered “Caucasian” on the application even though I am Arab-American (so no URM). The one problem that I see with my application is that I do not have any leadership positions in any of my clubs. I also currently have a 680 on Math Level I (on the second retake from 560) and still have to take Biology which I am expecting at least 650. </p>

<p>What are my chances? What if I get a 1950-2050 on my SATS the second go around? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Even a 2050 is pretty low for Brown. It will definitely hurt you. And you're subject tests are also below average for Brown admits.<br>
But nevertheless, SAT scores aren't everything and in and of themselves will not exclude you from Brown. Since you're scores are low, you just have to make up for them in other ways and I think you're on track for doing that.</p>
