<p>I’ve recently decided that I’ve very inclined to apply to some of the Ivy League schools and Brown is on my list, but do I have any chance of getting in? I know there’s no definite way to determine whether or not I’ll be accepted, but I feel that hearing from actual Brown students would help give me a idea at least. :)</p>

<p>I’ve taken all honors (except classes like Spanish where you can’t take honors at my school) and by the time I graduate, I will have taken 5 AP classes (including taken AP Senior English [or AP English Literature] in my sophomore year.) I will also have taken Statistics and Life Management Skills at a community college.</p>

<p>Also, I would probably be a Film Studies/(Media? is what it’s called at Brown?) major, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>I think that’s about it. I feel I may be forgetting something, but…anyway, I’d really appreciate any feedback about my chances of getting in and any advice you have to offer! Thank you so much for your time. :)</p>
I’ll definitely look into it more soon.</p>
