<p>You look a great applicant to me.</p>

<p>just curious - are u looking to go into psych at Brown? I'm asking because I'm also considering that area, and I know they have good neuroscience connections (no pun intended) between the departments....</p>

<p>Beware though -- if you're interested in social psych, clinical psych, etc you might want to look elsewhere, because Brown's psych department has the reputation of being very "sciencey" and behavioral. If you're interested in Neuroscience or Cognitive Science, though, then Brown is a great place to be.</p>

<p>Stats are decent ("fair shot")
What about your personal stuff (aka "hooks/passions")?
Best of luck.</p>

<p>yeah, i realized that about the Psych dept. AFTER i was admitted. I was hoping for a more social psych focus, but then again, I can supplement my Psych major (? still unsure) with sociology, public policy etc.... who knows, the possibilites are endless</p>
