<p>Essay is unique. I created a math equation of my own to describe who I am and solve in terms of "x." My English teacher said it was the best college essay he's read in his 41 years of teaching.</p>

<p>You’ll get into Williams, and you have a pretty good chance for Vanderbilt and Cornell. I know the most about those three, so those are the only ones I can speak for.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance for Brown, considering your SAT, SAT2, and GPA. Your essay sounds very unique. I don’t have much experience with admissions, but good luck!</p>

5

<p>I would say you have a decent chance of getting into brown. theres just a slight lack of extracurriculars. what science research have you been doing? that may be an interesting thing to bring up, also. But i think the summer at brown will help, also. overall…low/mid reach?</p>

6

<p>My research is about Anorexia Nervosa and the Twitter community. 1 in every 200 women in America suffer from an eating disorder and only 1 in 10 people suffer from an eating disorder receive treatment. With AN, one of the causes are a sense of disconnection from friends, family, and peers. These girls seek each other out on social media (like twitter) and begin talking to one another. I have been looking into the effects of these connections and have found that the girls are encouraging each other to become more anorexic. I hypothesize that this is actually because the girls who are anorexic are afraid that if their anorexic friends recover, they will be left alone again and thus the cycle continues.</p>

<p>I want to be a Chemistry major and probably minor in Psychology or something :)</p>

7

<p>Brown will be tough with mediocre test scores and weak ECs… however b/c you are applying ED you make it more possible. Also, if your essay isn’t gimmicky (it sort of sounds like it is…) and it truly is as great as you say i’d say brown is a low-mid reach.</p>

8

<p>I would really emphasize that research. Your stats aren’t amazing but if you work in what you consider unique about you, I think there might just be a chance. It would help to know how rigorous your courseload is in the context of your school, but I’ll assume it’s pretty hard. </p>

<p>You are in at: Swarthmore College
Kenyon College
College of William & Mary
Hamilton College
SUNY Geneseo
And your Tulane, Fordham, Binghamton EA schools. </p>

<p>Brown and Penn are going to be difficult, and I think it’s a mid-high reach. Vandy, Duke, JHU, Williams, Rice, and Cornell range from low to mid reaches. If your essay is very good it could pull through at some of these reaches. Good luck!!</p>

<p>Wow you sound like an amazing applicant! Great all around, especially if you essays are that good.</p>

13

<p>@AnonymousStudent: Weak ECs? What does that mean? She served as four-year member of stage crew, which if anything like it was at my high school, is a pretty big commitment. I don’t see anything weak about them. In my mind, the only weak ECs are the meaningless titles in meaningless, scatterbrained clubs that an applicant is clearly assembling for the sole purpose of having resume fodder.</p>

14

<p>On the first sight it appeared to me that you would have a lack of Ec’s. But the Laboratory Research you did at Brown plus applying ED is an advantage compared to other applicants. As someone else said it already, work on your Essays, they’re the key part of your Brown app.
Besides that I think that you’ll get into most of the schools you’ve listed (UPenn will be a challenge though)</p>

<p>All the best!</p>

<p>only issue seems to be the lacking EC’s.</p>

17

<p>I would say brown ED would be a mid-reach. Good luck!</p>

18

<p>I think you are underestimating the difficulty of these schools. Brown is not a midreach, it is harder than Duke. Vanderbilt is as tough as Duke.</p>

<p>You don’t have a while ecs but I think that your test scores and grades should make up for that</p>
