<p>Hello. I was wondering if some of you out there could chance me. I am planning on applying ED to Brown next year (I am currently a junior)</p>
<p>When it comes to essays and recs, I am not too concerned. I am planning on taking the ACT this year but I will probably end up sending in SAT and SAT II scores only. I am fairly sure that I will do well on the SAT II’s and that I will be able to get at least a 2100 on the SAT. I also have done and intend to do good (4’s and 5’s) on AP exams. </p>
<p>As of the end of my sophomore year, my GPA (my school only does unweighted) was 3.77 (taking the toughest schedule available at my small, competitive, private college prep school). The lowest grades I’ve ever gotten on a report card are a few B’s. Unfortunately, this all changed this year when I got a C+ as my AP Chemistry grade for fall quarter. In addition to this, I’m fairly sure that this year is not going to allow me to maintain or increase my GPA. If I had to guess, I would say that I will probably be at around a 3.67-3.70 by the end of junior year.</p>
<p>When it comes to EC’s, I am beginning to get involved in various community service activities (I will have atleast 100 hours by the time I apply), I have been involved heavily in student government and will probably be appointed one of the head editors of the yearbook and I am also a part of a youth leadership committee (I also have several other smaller school EC’s, but these were the main ones). </p>
<p>Athletics: JV Cheerleading freshman and sophomore year (got Most Improved Award freshman year), pursuing a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, beginning intensive training in preparation for a climb of Mount Rainier this summer and possibly a climb of Mount Aconcacua in Argentina (one of the seven summits of the world)</p>
<p>Other: Currently pursuing a private pilot’s license, have done charity work and travel in Ghana and will be traveling this year to India and Nepal (with school) Kenya and Tanzania (with school), and Korea (for Tae kwon Do training),
starring in my school’s winter play, may possibly obtain a scuba diving license and motorcycle license within the next year</p>
<p>Location: Ohio<br>
Race/Ethnicity: Parents originally from Iran but my ethnic background is Azeri Sex: Female
Possible Major: Economics, Biology</p>
<p>Thank you for reading all of this and please help me gain a better understanding of my chances of getting in. Although my grades could hurt me, could my unique extracurriculars give me the necessary boost that could help me get in? If I get stellar test scores, could it help?</p>
