My Chances for Brown??

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello? I'm a student from Republic Of Korea.
I just submitted my application for Early Decision in Brown.
I was intrigued by neuroscience programs in Brown after I met Professor Barry Connors in Brown.
Well, I think I didn't do well in SAT I, so I'm very worried...
Is there "any" chance for me to get in Brown?</p>

<h2>I hope that my published international scientific paper will increase my chances...ToT </h2>

<p>You have a decent chance. You want more than one school on your list though.</p>

<p>If you’re doing Brown ED, I’d bet you’re in

<p>Thank you~~~
I’m considering to prepare my regular for </p>

<p>Washington University in St. Louis
University of Pennsylvania
Emory University
UCSD
Duke
Cornell
MIT
Northeastern
UC Berkley
John’s Hopkins
Oberlin</p>

<p>They are all good at neuroscience~~!!
Well…I hope I will do well in Early Decision…^^</p>

<p>wow i am extremely impressed by all of your AP scores! thats incredible. anyway brown ED i’d say you have a very good chance. </p>

<p>Upenn Duke and Cornell you never know but it looks pretty good
the rest i believe your in</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Considering you’ve had work published by a legitimate magazine, and your academics seems consistent with the typical applying freshman, I’d say you definitely have a strong chance. There are a lot of people with the same grades as you, so it really helps that you’ve got such a good set of awards and activities.</p>

8

<p>Thankx for good comments~!!</p>

9

<p>Do you attend Minjok?</p>

10

<p>Yes!! How did you know??kk</p>

11

<p>Oh…By the way, my SAT I Math score is 770…not 760…kk
Still…Total scores are low…lol</p>

12

<p>well, SAT is only one part of the admission process so don’t worry.<br>
Just try to take one more time in November.</p>

<p>But I actually think you got a pretty good chance.
Good luck, Hopefully, we’ll be at Brown next year :)</p>

13

<p>you’re such a KMLA</p>

<p>BrownED - match
Washington University in St. Louis - low match
University of Pennsylvania - match
Emory University - low match
UCSD - in
Duke - match
Cornell - low match
MIT - well it’s MIT so you never know
Northeastern - why would you even apply here but in
UC Berkley - match (but it’s UC i’m not sure)
John’s Hopkins - match/slight reach
Oberlin - not sure </p>

<p>you can chance me too though i dont have such impressive scores, just a friend who used to goto KMLA hahaha
i better warn my girlfriend who’s applying there too
you can chance me too! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/803639-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/803639-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>Thanx~!!!
I will take SAT I again in December…
I first tried to take it in November…but then I will have lower scores ha ha
I’m not good at English…</p>

15

<p>As long as you raise your CR scores everything looks great dude.
I hope that we both get in!!
See you next year. haha.</p>

16

<p>I wouldn’t worry about SAT I’s simply because your other scores are good. Are you a foreign student? If you are that might work against you but you have a great chance of getting in </p>

17

<p>i think you have a decent chance, despite your SAT score. I hope you can make a good impression/some good essays with those research internships.
You publish good stuff…i hope that stands out from those others around you.
Might you perhaps go to a school called Daewon?</p>

18

<p>the only possible thing I could say negative about your app is that you seem to be lacking a well rounded academia, however, the schools you have applied to are the ones that seem to accept students like that.</p>

<p>Good luck, I am fairly sure you will get in brown ed =D</p>

19

<p>Thank You~!!
I’m now going to Korean Minjok Leadership Academy(KMLA)!!
I wrote essays about my terrible sleep behavior…
I have been overpowered by sleepiness triggered by my meals…
In essays, I described how I endeavored to reveal the biological mechanism of this
sleep behavior(Postprandial Drowsiness in scientific terms…) and how I succeeded in
publishing my own theory in the journal…
I hope my essay and published paper will work…</p>

<p>Badgerz!! I agree with your idea… I’m also worried about the fact that I have been too focused on one particular area… Thanx for comments!!
Sadly, I’m the person who delves into what I’m interested in…lol
Well…but I have been doing couple of volunteer activities and music activities…
Those “might” work ha ha lol</p>
