<p>as you can see, my extracurriculars and awards are few, but im gonna do so much more; it was because i didn't know that i wanted to go to brown until recently, soo..</p>
<p>im a good writer, my recommendations would be good, and im great at interviews</p>
<p>also my school offers a vocational program. I always thought I'd do graphic design, but then I realized my passion was in fashion design. I quit the Graphic Communications program for my senior year to fill it with as many honors and AP as possible. But the GC program had taken up a good amount of my schedule (2 classes in 9th and 10th grade, 4 in 11th). I know this might me look like a quitter, but I didn't want to continue in something I was no longer interested in. I took as many honors and AP classes as possible up to and including senior year; I've NEVER had and and never will have a study. My schedule has been full to the extent I've argued with my counselor, who recommended I take out classes for studies. Do you think colleges will take this into consideration if I explain this to them?</p>
<p>and i really only want to be accepted into the RISD/Brown dual degree program (so i can do fashion design and english or business), which is what im going for, does this make a difference?</p>
<p>i am also planning to submit an art portfolio to brown</p>
<p>i wouldn't be surprised if someone told me almost impossible, but im going to apply anyways; i just wanted to see other ppl's perspectives, maybe get tips for improvement?</p>
