<p>please? >_<</p>

<p>yay! more than 50%</p>

<p>you are the epitome of a typical applicant
academics are okay
ecs are cliche'</p>

<p>there is almost NOTHING that makes you stand out amongst the rest of the pool of applicants
id say brown is a reach, only cus theyre mad unpredictably fickle and youre, no offense, a "plain applicant"</p>

<p>I tend to disagree with mayiplzgovertigo.</p>

<p>Your Intel application, plus your radiology job are quite unusual for Brown. You have high scores, a great GPA, you are a URM (at least for Brown), and you come from a school known for producing Ivy admittees. This tells me that you are a match for Brown based upon all of the above. Make sure that your Intel application comes through--and that your research is a plausible candidate for award (even if it doesn't get one).</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. I was admitted to Brown myself (although I was unable to attend for financial reasons).</p>

<p>If you are sure Brown is your top choice, go with ED and your chances are better than 50%. Maybe consider Brandeis as a possible safety?</p>

<p>Thanks Calcruzer and pyewacket! =) I really appreciate everyone who gives me any kind of feedback.</p>

<p>Even though you have excellent credentials and I'm sure you would be successful if you were accepted at these colleges, I'm don't think your application will stand out from all the other qualified applicants. If you love Brown, apply to it, because you can never tell.</p>

<p>thanks for your honest opinion!</p>

<p>bump, anyone else? I'm a little desperate ^.^;</p>
