Int.student....do i have a shot at brown?

[Ivy_Dreamer_1]

<p>Hey guys, I’m an incoming senior and-----</p>

<p>Ethnicity:
-Asian;Filipino
Gender:
-Male
Location:
-Philippines, yes I don’t live in the US… unfortunately I hear it would be tougher
to get in.
GPA:
-3.7…I know its kinda low…but i hear that the curriculum in my school is tougher
than most US schools.
School:
-Ateneo de Manila University,one of the best if not the best high schools in the
country(It is one of only two universities in the Philippines to receive Level IV accreditation–the highest possible level–from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP)and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).), does not offer AP’s, and freshman year is like 8th grade there in the US, simply
put, we dont have 8th grade.
Rank:
-school doesn’t rank until junior year, but I’m assuming I’m ATLEAST top 16%/600
since we have this honors program where out of the 15 classes of 40 students, there
are two semi-honor classes(im in one of them) and 1 honors class, and IMHO, i am
smarter than my other classmates.
SAT I:
-M-720,CR-680,W-680
SAT II:
-do I have to take, considering im an international student?</p>

<p><strong><em>to know more about my high school-- Ateneo de Manila University and
Ateneo de Manila High School - About Ateneo and
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneo_…University">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateneo…_University</a></em></strong>please read for further insights…</p>

<p>Community Services:
Gawad Kalinga(7th grade though and junior year):</p>

<br>

<p>we build houses for the needy/poor brothers/sisters of of the community.
Dungaw Exposure Program(freshman year,like 8th grade in the US):
we are given the chance to interact with our less fortunate brothers and sisters in the
community and realize the values of simplicity, and to not take our blessings for
granted.
there are a lot…so ill just copy and paste something from the wikipedia page of my
school:
–The High School also offers religious formation programs, such as the Christian Service and Involvement Program (CSIP), which comprises the Dungaw-Exposure Trip for freshmen, Dam</p>

<p>For Brown, you do need to take at least two SAT Subject Tests.
Two SAT Subject Tests are also required for Columbia, Dartmouth, Stanford, Rice, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Yale, and UCLA.
You need 3 SAT Subject Tests for Harvard and Princeton.</p>

<p>I, therefore, strongly advise you to take SAT Subject Tests if you don’t want to lose your opportunity to even apply for more than 90% of your chosen institutions.
Hope this helps!</p>
