</ol>
<p>Why do you feel the need to open yet another chance tread in the Brown forum with very the same content just a week after the last one? Get back to us after you see the results of your SAT retake.</p>
<p>I’d say your SAT looks a little low, and your ECs seem a little weak. Your chances of getting in will improve because you’re black & 1st gen, but you won’t get in just because you’re black & 1st gen. You still need to be qualified. I think you need to do a bit more ECs. Are you planning on playing any of the sports you play at Brown?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was getting a major deja vu moment. Then I saw LoremIpsum’s post and I remembered.</p>
<p>Retaking the SATs is the big thing right now.</p>
