<p>As they say, never assume your recs or essays are amazing unless you’ve seen the recs yourself or at least a half dozen sources have called your essays “amazing”. Due to your relatively weak academics, though you do have decent test scores, Brown ED is still going to be a reach. You’re competitive, yes, but it could be better.</p>
<p>U.W. GPA: 3.75 (I sucks at grades, lolz )- Yes. But depends on your school.
W GPA: 4.63 (Aice are at 5.0 scale, as are AP)- Good.
Class Rank: 34/688 (top 5%)- Good.
Sat:2250 (Math 800, Writing 720, Reading 730)- Average.
Hook(s): Low income… This is not much of a hook.

^Please list more, because right now, it is pretty mediocre. (ECs.)</p>
<p>Your internships are pretty good.
I’d say a reach.</p>
<p>Additional EC’s: Started my own eBay business, Tutor on weekends,
The reason that I don’t have so many impressive EC’s is because I have to work all of the time. I work 30+ hours a week to help pay for basic necessities (mom lost job)</p>
<p>your last post could be your compelling essay story (but make sure it sounds inspirational rather than an excuse)… try to push up your SAT scores (for RD u have time, for ED - u don’t).</p>
<p>Otherwise you have great chances. Also, your interns and summer activities will be weighed heavily as far as I feel.</p>
<p>Brown will see your demonstrated interest too.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are fine, they’re above the middle 50% at Brown. Sure, they could always be better, but once you pass ~2200 it doesn’t make a huge difference</p>
<p>Why are you graduating early? You will have a much better shot at selective colleges with a year and a half of straight As in tough classes and some development of ECs.</p>
<p>I don’t see you as competitive for Brown now.</p>
<p>Poly sosophy. I’m in the exact same boat. I always get “you have no leader ship” but i’ve worked at the same job since 8th grade for 30hrs a week. I don’t really have time to spend at clubs and such.</p>
<p>haha. People on CC say “need some more EC’s”; People in real life say “how do you do it all?” I probably need better EC’s, but I can’t change that now.</p>
<p>oh well, maybe you guys are right. I probably don’t have a good shot. I will apply and get into a good college somewhere. CC, where hopeless dreams come to die. lol</p>
