<p>Hello everyone-</p>

<p>I’m a junior at a catholic high school in NYC. I would love to go to Brown (among Vassar, UChicago, Amherst College, and Middlebury). I’m not really expecting to get in, but just ballpark, you know? Do I have even the slightest shot?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 unweighted
Junior Course Load (No APs available): Religion 11, French 5-6, Algebra 2/Trig Regents, English 11 Honors Regents Legacy, Physics Non-regents, Entrepreneurship (next semester it’ll be an art course), and US History Honors. </p>

<p>Clubs:
10th: Travel and Culture, Scholars, Campus Ministry, Animal Rights
11th: Home Ec (gunning for leadership position), Travel and Culture, Scholars, Campus Ministry</p>

<p>Summer Activities:
9th: Museum of Modern Art: In the Making Class (Unconventional Painting)
10th: Docent at NY Aquarium and Photography Class at FIT
Note- I’m staying on with the docent program, so I’m still doing work at the aquarium throughout the year.</p>

<p>Other:
Internship at Catholic Charities during first semester this year through my Entrepreneurship class</p>

<p>I’m a strong writer, so I’m expecting to churn out strong essays. I’m doing prep work for the ACT and so far are expecting 30s for English and Reading. As for Science, I need to work on shortening my time, but I got a 27. And my math needs work, but that’s what junior year is for :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Thanks, guys!
Cheers</p>

<p>Hi, as a senior applying to Brown, I would say not to worry too much about stats. Just keep the grades as high as you possibly can and continue to take challenging courses. Focus on EC’s that you are TRULY passionate about. Remember, it’s about quality, not quantity.</p>

<p>A thing about Brown’s admission. I may be totally wrong, but the way I see it is, once your grades, SAT’s, and ACT’s reach a certain numeric value, it becomes trivial. What they seem to really focus on is the person. Focus on what makes you unique, and if you can show that to Brown, then I believe you have a shot. Good Luck!</p>
