<p>Another one of these,“I have a 2300, should I bother applying threads”
Your extracurricular activites,GPA, and SAT scores are great.
Think about this: Your Math, CR, and Writing are all in or near the 75 percentile, which means you are probably more qualified than 85% admitted students.
You are not only on the dartboard but toward the center.
Chance back:

<p>I know I’m going to apply, I was just looking to get some peace of mind, and also to see if I should be optimistic or pessimistic. Thanks for the help</p>

<p>You have the scores, GPA, and good enough ECs. You do stand a shot, even better if you do ED. Cool summer experiences!! Good luck :)</p>

<p>Please chance back:</p>

<p>I would chance both of you back, but I feel like I’m horrible at that. I find myself never being able to give constructive criticism to strangers. Probably something I should get used to, but I’ll do that later.</p>

<p>Hahahah. Even write a generic comment bro, anything to assuage some anxiety :wink: In all honestly, I would apply if I were you, assuming you really do want to go to Brown. Best wishes :)</p>
