<p>GPA: 3.95 unweighted
SAT: 760CR, 700M, 730WR
SATII: 700 Biology, 670 Literature
Essays: Everyone’s told me they are good, and they were good enough to get into UCLA, so I dunno
Recs: Both of my rec teachers love me
ECs: Enough to fill up the application
Honors: National Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, Charter Member of National Science Honor Society, University of Rochester Bausch and Lomb award for Science, Sewanee Writing Award, Presbyterian College book award, High Honor Roll throughout high school
Other: Full IB Diploma, taken most rigorous course load possible. Completed a 2 week Summer@Brown course last summer.</p>

<p>I’m new and sorry if this type of thread is frowned upon; I’m just trying to get a read on what to expect when I open that letter. :wink: Thanks for any help!! :)</p>

<p>What’s your race? That’s one of the most important factors for a school like Brown…</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I’m white. But I’m from the Deep South (Savannah, Georgia, to be exact) if that helps at all.</p>

<p>You should have a decent chance of getting in. Although, I have found Brown to be different in the fact that I know of people who are going there who only got a 1240 on their SAT. Brown likes well rounded people with leadership qualities. I would not boast about being from the south. No offense, it’s just that northern schools seem to be biased against southern states.</p>
