How can I make my application stand out?

<p>Hey everybody. Brown is my first choice, and I would like to know if anyone could give me advice on how to make my application pop out? I can’t apply ED because I need to get my grades up. I was wondering if there was another way to communicate to the admissions officers that Brown is my first choice school?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>If your grades aren’t up now, do you really think you can be competitive enough for Brown? That might be your toughest challenge. Some answers you were looking for: interview (it’s evaluative), demonstrated interest.</p>

<p>pm me. lots of strategies.</p>

<p>Check out “decisions for 2013” above, and you’ll see there are plenty of students who have less-than-steller grades who got in. Clearly, Brown is not just determining who gets in based only on grades. With that in mind, I’d think an important aspect is to “show a passion” for something. Recommendations are a important, as is the rigor in your transcript. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you guys, I really appreciate that you are taking the time out to help me out. </p>

<p>I will work extremely diligently on showing my true passions in my essays. </p>

<p>Thanks again :]</p>
