<p>I have more activites and stuff, but I heard you should only choose a few, like 4 or 5.</p>

<p>I admit Brown is quite a reach…but I don’t wanna regret anything. Other places I should apply to?</p>

<p>Brown is a reach for us mortal beings, so I wouldn't sweat it. Better to just apply rather than not even try at all.</p>

<p>Hmm, I think you could work on getting your test scores higher - a 570 in verbal is a bit weak. </p>

<p>From the classes you've taken and your ECs, I see that you have an interest in the sciences and perhaps government and leadership. Be sure that you are able to show adcoms your passion for these subjects.</p>

<p>The heart defect (I had two, so I'd know, heh), the trip to Mexico and the hostess job could all make for possibly very interesting essays, so be sure to capitalize on that.</p>

<p>If you're looking with places with that Brown feel, I would check out Vassar. Good luck!</p>
