<p>you had me convinced til the 2020 SAT. don't emphasize numbersrs... focus attention on essays and then you have a shot just like everyone else... its hard to tell w/ brown & the ivies nowadays... best of luck</p>

<p>I think you have a very competitive chance. Dont let "lower" scores hurt your confidence. Not that confidence matters aynway lol. I got in with a 2160 SAT and 730 650 610 SAT IIs! Numbers and stats are just tools to give a general idea; by no means are they a guidline or cutoff. Just think, schools list their middle 50%, that means that 25% of the kids there have a lower score than the bottom end of the 50%! Im not a math major but I think thats correct at least. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>any other advice? =D</p>
