<p>Your high school is full of #$@%&'s and you resent them. Do you want to experience an Ivy where the #$@%&'s are actually smarter and harder working than yourself? I really doubt that any public school can match the sheer rigor, intensity, and focus of the private schools that feed the Ivies.</p>
<p>Go to one of you great options, do well, and try for an Ivy graduate or professional school when you are more mature and certain of your intellectual prowess.</p>
<p>You are smart enough for Brown. You are near the median SAT for many of the Ivies.
Your academic record is problematic for places where people “related to buildings” are often (but not always) turned down because they did not work hard enough in prep school. </p>
<p>Do you want an education or do you want to beat people over the head with your Ivy acceptance/attendance? If you want to attend Brown for its academic excellence then more power to you.</p>
<p>God Bless you and help you.</p>
