<p>And if you’d like to read my essay ( I think it is quite good) tell me and I will pm it to you. </p>
<p>This probably belongs in a separate thread, but OP's weighted/unweighted GPA (4.43/3.43) makes me wonder which courses qualify for the weighted bump. Is it just AP classes or do other honors classes also qualify? Also, this difference implies that the OP never took a non-honors course. Did he/she not have to take PE? Or is there more than a 1 point bump for certain classes?</p>
<p>ahah, yes i Know, im just felt like being an a*shole, sorry. Anyhow, you have a great resume, but based on my friends who applied and got in/rejected and all the stuff I've read about Brown, I'd say chances are very slim. But again, you'll definetely get in some school thats ranked way up there, in the top 30 range.</p>
<p>brown is very competitive, your gpa is not the strongest but won't rule you out probably (it depends on if your school's gpa is inflated or not), it sounds like you take difficult courses which is a bonus, did you take the old sat? if you did don't you need three sat 2s?, your ecs are good but nothing outstanding (no national award or starting a club or doing something truly unique), it will depend on the strength of your recs, essays, interview, and also how many kids are applying from your school and strength of the applicant pool</p>
<p>Thanks, everyone. Well, regardless to whether I get in or not, I am glad that I applied. If I hadn't, I would always wonder if I could have gone.</p>
