<p>I'm a junior in HS right now living in MA. I go to a top tier small rural public school. Brown is my dream school and I'd like to know if I qualify. I'd like to major in neuroscience. I have one alumni who went there back around 100 years ago if that means anything (he played baseball and football for them). Anyway, here are my courses:</p>

<p>Freshman:
Biology H
Geometry H
World History CP
French II CP
World Lit H
Band
Study</p>

<p>Ended year wih 3.45 GPA. Kinda screwed around freshman year</p>

<p>Sophomore:
Algebra H
Chemistry H
World Lit II H
Us History H
Band
Band (2 band classes lol)

<p>ended year with 3.75 weighted GPA.</p>

<p>Junior year (current)
Chemistry AP
Physics H
Statistics AP
US Lit H
Band
Precalc H
US history AP</p>

<p>Currently have around a 3.85 gpa, bleh Also am going to take the AP English Language test</p>

<p>Senior year (projected)
Ap Psychology
Ap Government
Ap Physics
Ap calculus BC
Band
Creative Writing H
Study</p>

<p>I'm projected to finish high school with a 3.75 GPA. My current gpa from freshman and sophomore years is 3.66. In addition, I play both euphonium and tuba in the band and was one of the representatives chosen to attend the Bridgewater state honors band thingy. I also have played sports all 3 seasons since joining high school, although I only so far have played Varsity in track sophomore and junior years. I'm actually good at track and may receive a captainship next year but I doubt i'm good enough to make the team at Brown. Anyway, I took the PSAT without even studying or let alone knowing when it was and got a 208, which was 98th percentile among US juniors. I'm sure I will score at least a 1550 on the Reading and Math sections of the SAT (the parts that actually matter) beause I'm actually preparing. I will have glowing recommendations and my essay will be incredible. However I was rejected from the NHS because of a lack of leadership and questions about my character (lol). I received a 1 day in school suspension this year for hacking into my school ipad. I also have been tardy around 60 times in my high school career. I don't think those go on my transcript though lol. My grades and course level have improved since freshman year. Could I get into Brown? Or rather, do i even have a shot? (I'm 100% white btw lol)</p>

<p>oh ya i forgot im also in Mu Alpha Theta but my EC’s are dead besides sports and that lol. I’ve also volunteered a decent amount.</p>

<p>I very seriously doubt it but anything could happen. Just apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>tbh i dont think its worth applying to brown considering your race works against you along with lack of good ECs. and your gpa isnt helping either</p>

<p>If you want to apply, go ahead. It can’t hurt. But I don’t think your chances are good at all.</p>
