<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what Brown is interested in for music/creative writing majors:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (on the rise)
3.88 unweighted (ditto)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better)
SAT: (they’re not fair)…writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
Courseload:
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B’s on my transcript)10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A’s (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A’s on the transcript.
Next year, I’m taking 4 AP’s and 1 honors. (there are 2 honors that are ap weight)</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly–next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can’t think of. </p>
<p>Connection: The only connection I have to Brown would be that my dad sold the first IBM computer there in the 80’s or 70’s I think. That’s all I know of as of now lol.</p>
<p>Sorry, but your SAT scores are very low for Brown. When you say "they're not fair" do you mean that the test itself is unfair to you, or that the particular time you took them was not fair (you were sick, or something)? You really need to get those up. You look good otherwise, so get your SAT's up (I'd aim for 700s in each section, although that's not strictly necessary), and make sure to show your passion(s) in your application.</p>
<p>thanks for the advice! By not being fair, I think the SAT's (aside from the writing section) don't accurately assess one's "knowledge" like the test is supposed to...and i was bummed out after i took a 5 month long private tutor course and STILL did worse than my friends did who did nothing and slack off in school!! I don't know how to get 700 in each section, but i'd love to try! Or, i'll just see waht happens w/the act lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, it may be that your ACT score is a lot better. That definitely happened with a number of my friends. Good luck!</p>
<p>I don't think the SAT is meant to assess knowledge anyway--it's called the SAT REASONING Test, isn't it?
If you're looking for a test of knowledge, I think the ACT would be much better for you.</p>
