<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I was just wondering if some body could please give me approximation of my chances at Brown as I have to decide in the next week whether or not to accept a local uni offer (which would involve me moving and renting an apartment) so I’m hesitant to make this decision until I have a rough idea of whether or not I will get accepted in the US.</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Caucasian/Australian
Gender: Female
Major: Biology
School: Brisbane Girls Grammar School (best school in my state)
GPA: 95.55/100 (unweighted, my school doesn’t do weighting but I took the hardest subjects available to me)
SAT I: 2090 (CR: 730, M: 680, W: 680)
SAT II: Biology M: 710, Math I: 710, Lit: 720
ECs: Crew, Debate, Community Service (Kid’s Hospital and Nursing Home), Flute, Study Abroad Program and Enhanced Studies Program
Essay: Well-written but not engaging at all (I didn’t really grasp the concept of an essay for US admissions because we don’t do it at home - I just wrote about my extended science research/study abroad program/doing university course while in high school)
Recommendations: Absolutely amazing (almost all categories were ‘one of the top few I’ve encountered’, gave lots of personal anecdotes and my counselor wrote ‘she is, without question, a candidate of the highest order and I recommend her to you without reservation or hesitation’ at the end of his lovely letter.
Interview: Seemed to go well until the interviewer yelled at me and called me a moron because I said “I would turn down Harvard if I was admitted to both Harvard and Brown as I believe the Brown culture/community (after talking about how I visited campus) suits me better”</p>
<p>Thank you in advance for any help</p>
