<p>I came up in 8th grade. Ive been playing soccer forever. So even though i have scatterd B's, It wont really hurt me?</p>

<p>it will hurt you, but it won't kill you. Get a VERY good GPA junior year(usually the most important year), pick the point you think will be weakest on those SAT's , and start studying as soon as possible. You don't want to be stuck at the end of your junior year with poor SAT scores. Definitely write a killer essay. Do all those, and i'd say you've got a good shot. good luck</p>

<p>Just thought I'd give you a story, like nomore did. No one can predict these things. No one. (Except Brown Admissions people)</p>

13

<p>I would have admitted you Kayrlis! I think it is important to know what a random process this is Esm 402.</p>

14

<p>hahaha, thanks nomore. I would have admitted your daughter. Good luck to her, though!</p>

<p>I think Brown essays are particularly important for admissions. They're a lot of work, but if you put some serious time into them, then you should be fine.</p>
