<p>definately won't cut it for Brown PLME</p>

<p>What's your selection criteria for schools? Why do you have 5 of the 8 in the Ivy League listed? Some of these are very very different from each other....</p>

<p>Without knowing class rank nobody can say. Your scores look good (raise CR) and ECs are coming along. But NJ is an overrepresented state and you're Indian, so you are in a tight spot. If your school is a top NJ public you could possibly go as low as top 5% to have a shot at ivies. If it's a just competitive (average SAT under 1300) you need to be one of the very top.</p>

<p>^ i said my rank was between the top 4 - 10 students in my grade which is equivalent to top 1% maybe 2%</p>

<p>also yes they are very different schools but i've visited most and i really like them</p>

<p>you have a good start no doubt, I wish my school let sophomores take AP's--oh well. I think the reason no one has Replied is because your credentials are already swell, academically anyway and you are a rising junior. Try applying for governors school if your State offers it</p>

<p>Most people reply to the posts that list creds comparable to theirs. don't worry you still have a couple of years. Really work hard on that research!!aka PAssion and that can make up for the e/c's </p>

<p>From what I see great start. Keep it up. Try to make all A's and chance me if you don't mind at</p>

<p>A shameless PLUG</p>
