Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Yep, that's right. Brown is, indeed, my dream school. Do I have more of a shot than I hope? I'm also looking at Amherst, Swarthmore, Vassar, Wesleyan, Tufts, Oberlin, JHU, and Skidmore.</p>

<p>female; very competitive nyc private school
SAT - 790W/710CR/710M (2210)
SATII - 720 Chem & Lit
my school doesn't calculate gpa's or ranks, but my average is probably around an A-, putting me towards the top of my class. I take the hardest classes I can.</p>

<p>EC's:
theatre ~
-head of theatre company, multiple shows per year. enormous time commitment. have had 4 lead roles.
-organizing/acting in school-wide, student-run show this semester...first one in school's history!\
-in the process of organizing a city-wide show featuring kids from all over new york; all money raised from ticket sales/donations will go towards restoring arts programs in public schools around my area (they need serious help..)
-editor-in-chief of theatre newspaper</p>

<p>piano~
-i've played for 12 years. i'm in the city's youth symphony chamber music program.
-have performed at multiple hospitals around the city for community service
-i've been selected to play at carnegie hall this year.</p>

<p>employment~
-english tutor during the year, full time english and theater teacher over summers (yes, teacher - with my own classroom and everything! i teach motivated middle school kids from public schools in my neighborhood in the awesomest [yes, i'm aware it's not a word. well, it should be!] program ever!)
-theatre teacher during school year, 3 hrs./wk</p>

<p>random coolness~
I've had two things I've written (a personal essay and a fictional story) published in Teek Ink, which is a nationally distributed teen magazine. Other random writing awards, as well.</p>

<p>I'll also probably be a national merit semifinalist, not that it counts for much.</p>

<p>thank youuuuuuuu!!!!</p>

<p>bump...please?</p>

<p>The Brown admissions office is pretty strange. At our school, the only kids who get in are the ones who can get into HYP. Brown thinks our school (expensive, private) is not "diverse" enough. Lucky for you that you were invited to Carnegie Hall. That might do the trick. :)</p>

<p>You'll be a good candidate for Brown. There is no guarantee since those kinds of schools have strange admissions processes.</p>

<p>jhu seems a bit random on your list...</p>

<p>huskem~ heh, i know...i was thinking of applying "against type" - to my knowledge, not that many "artsy" kids apply to that school. i do, however, like the school, so applying can't hurt. :)</p>
