Class of 2014!

<p>lol 10 char</p>

<p>Lets just say that I scored very, very high :).</p>

<p>Hey, I say - the more the merrier :D. Either way, Brits and Indians don’t compete against each other. Even if they did - again - the more the merrier :D.</p>

<p>I’m getting too nervous about the SATs…first time taking in May…I dunno how I gonna cram in 2 SAT 1s,2 Subject Tests and TOEFL in like 6 months:(</p>

<p>Well, for what it’s worth, I got 680 on Writing, 720 on CR, and 780 on Maths on a test paper a while back (I’m doing the SAT this June). However, since I’m homeschooled, there is almost no point comparing a lot of what I do to another student; I guess I’m one of those “well lopsided” students the Harvard admissions page talks about.</p>

<p>They should admit both of us, lol (if I apply). That way, Brown will have two lovely students gracing its hilly grounds: one half-Malay, half-Pakistani with a British accent, and one Tetris fan from India.</p>

<p>(I’m assuming you still like Tetris). :P</p>

<p>@smartchap: I’m planning to do the SAT I in June, Math II and Lit in October, Biology and Chemistry in November, World History in December, and possibly a foreign language in January. We can cram together :)</p>

<p>smartchap: I don’t know. I thought most of the 650-ers were URMs or legacies but it turned out there were quite a few white males among them so…but let’s not take it out of context, maybe the 650-ers had outstanding essays and extracurriculars that outshone the academic qualifications the perfect-scorers had? Either that or Brown was being nice. I don’t know! What subject tests are you doing?</p>

<p>Isn’t Brown supposed to be environmentally active? I don’t think they’re JUST politically inclined, I think there’s a huge population of activists who like standing up for what they believe in. But then again I haven’t done much research on Brown yet so I’m likely just being drawn in by the stereotypes!</p>

<p>I’'m doing a test everyday…Math so far has been great(we do much more than the scope of the SAT),Writing’s been OK,but CR is really hard for me</p>

<p>@Quasiprofound:</p>

<p>I’ll be doing Math Level 2 and Physics/Chemistry…coz I wanna do engineering:)</p>

<p>Anyone applying to Cornmouth, lol?</p>

<p>(Google it online, if you haven’t heard of it before :D)</p>

<p>Can you do a subject test for the first time in January? I think I read somewhere that you can’t do the SAT I for the first time in January but I’m not sure about subjects.</p>

<p>I think I’m going to try and do the SAT I and Literature in June. Then World History and… French? In October. How am I going to get good at French over the summer? Hmm.</p>

<p>Have you guys been reading the decisions threads? Yale was kind of brutal! :frowning: But Brown gives me hope.</p>

<p>I’ve only read the MIT and Harvard RD threads so far.</p>

<p>I don’t think its possible to do any test in Jan ,rite?As most unis deadlines finish Dec31</p>

<p>I have the exact opposite problem. Perfect scores in CR and Writing but a terrible score in math so I have to retake the test in June. Dang it.</p>

<p>Yeah but you can send in the SAT scores later. Jan is the last date you have for taking the SAT I and IIs for most schools if you’re applying RD. portegueseninja, you can’t do the SAT I and a SAT II together. You have to do the SAT I separately although you can do up to three SAT IIs on one date. python, what’s Cornmouth???</p>

<p>I’ve been reading the Harvard threads. Feeling nauseous. Decided to stop doing that.</p>

<p>@portugueseninja-“World History and… French? In October.” World History can be given only in June and December its the only subject test that happens twice a year.</p>

<p>Search Cornmouth College up online, and click on the “U n i g o” (CC won’t let me post the name properly) link. :D</p>

<p>Sorry I meant US History. And dang! I forgot about the subject test on the same day thing. That’s annoying.</p>

<p>Cornmouth? Is that like the Oxbridge of Cornell and Dartmouth? :P</p>

<p>Ooooh haha found it.</p>

<p>The SAT is easy enough with enough practice - familiarity breeds comfort!</p>

<p>I wonder exactly what difference SAT scores make - how much will a 2400 instead of a 2100 improve one’s chances?</p>

<p>I guess that depends on how the rest of your package is.
But the admission rate definitely increases with an increase in your SAT score; the Brown and Princeton websites have statistics backing this.</p>

<p>Not much when it comes to the less selective schools; a lot when it comes to the Ivies and the like where there are so many applicants also with perfect GPAs and crazy extracurriculars.</p>
