<p>I have a FANTASTIC rec from my english teacher I had for both freshmen and junior year. I went from getting Bs in her class freshmen year to all As junior year and an A on my IB internal assessment. She is like my best friend and she went to Brown, UVA, and UMichgan.</p>

<p>I have 2 other recs: one from my chem teacher (a good rec) and one from my english and TOK teacher this year (should be very good)</p>

<p>I went through a lot my junior year. Including finding out about an affair my dad had with many many people, which was an issue even after we found out. he got caught 3 more times after. Also, i almost moved midyear, which caused stress and some how we got called by the Department of child services saying i was getting beaten and I wasn't... It was strange, but more stress. Threat that my brother had cancer. more stress...</p>

<p>FANTASTIC rec from my guidance counselor! I love her!! lol.</p>

<p>My brother also goes to the school and wrote me a rec.</p>

<p>So, PLEASE CHANCE BROWN ED!!!</p>

<p>bumppppppppppppppp</p>

<p>anyone???</p>

<p>i feel hated lol :)</p>

<p>It’s probably because your title is obnoxious.
I’d say you have as good a shot as anyone else. Your ACT is lower, but you have strong ECs (really no focus besides swim)
If you have strong essays I’d say you have a reasonable shot, but you still are just a fairly average, unhooked Brown applicant.</p>

<p>well, regardless to the title comment that was a little unnecessary, thanks for your honesty. Good rec from teacher who was Brown alum and having a brother who attends the school aren’t hooks?</p>

<p>Agree with the title comment. You can bet yourself that everyone else who’s applying to Brown will have fantastic recommendations. And it really doesn’t matter where your references went to school. Having your brother go to Brown doesn’t make you a legacy, so it doesn’t really give you any weight.</p>

<p>but doesn’t that depend on the school? Brown is known for wanting to keep families together. Not trying to knock down your opinion, I’m just trying to understand. The fact that I was said that I am a contender in the admission process is a huge compliment. Also, my brother worked in admissions freshmen year and said that the only rec they really looked at was the one from Brown, who happens to be my best friend lol.</p>

<p>oh btw, we can let this thread die. I started a new one.</p>
