<p>If you had done early decision, you might have had a small chance.</p>

<p>Sorry, but there's no way you're getting in regular decision.</p>

<p>Not at a school that rejects 90 percent of applicants with sat scores in the 2100-2250 range.</p>

<p>Uhh, what?? (1) This person's scores are solid, & (2) I've seen enough about Brown to know that they're not numbers-obsessed in the least. They really practice that "holistic" thing that every school preaches.</p>

<p>OP, your stuff looks good; it all comes down to your essays and recs and blah blah blah.</p>

<p>thanks for getting back to me so quickly guys! of course i know its a long shot, but thanks for the optimism poseur :)</p>

<p>I don't think it's a long shot, of course I cannot give you your chances but with a strong application like Poseur said you could have a good shot. I have a 1650 SAT I would DIE to get your score (lol; jp just emphasizing the unimportance of SAT scores) Everything else on my application is great except for numbers, you just have to have confidence in yourself. The process is done, and now your just waiting! Good Luck!</p>

<p>You guys who think this is a holistic experience in which scores don't matter much for the unhooked are kidding yourselves. Yes, scores don't matter much once you're truly in range, which is to say, well above the school's median.</p>

<p>They don't matter as much if you're a recruited athlete, URM, legacy or development candidate. Those guys are 40% of the class. For the other 60%, who must make up for the 40% for whom scores don't matter as much, scores matter a lot. Just look at the numbers, they don't lie. There's book after book that lays this out.</p>
