<p>My common app essay was a biography, comparing my life to a canvas, and ending with a request to finish the canvas that is my life.</p>

<p>My brown essay was about insanity (intellectual vitality one) , I wrote how everyone has a quality that makes them a bit insane, so the term really shouldn't exist.</p>

<p>If you wanna read my essays Ill send, I actually applied because I got an email with an application waiver, and needless to say I kinda liked the school alot as I read its viewbook.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your test scores are extremely low for Brown so I’d say it’s a pretty big reach (note: all Ivy’s are reaches for the most part anyways).</p>

3

<p>Isnt my 29 on the acts like a low average though? XD I really wish These tests didn’t exist, I just don’t think like they do!</p>

4

<p>me too!! you think the answers is one thing but it isnt…i would like to read your essay…i kinda like insanity…:-)</p>

5

<p>Here I’m PMing it to you :3</p>

6

<p>Oops, I didn’t see the ACT score. 25th - 75th percentile is 28-33 for Brown so yes you’re in the middle 50% which is good.</p>

7

<p>Your canvas essay sounds really interesting! Send it to me? (:</p>

8

<p>it is a reach b/c of your sat scores, but your ACT score should help, other than that your stats are good. your essays sound creative, that’s probably your best chance for admission. good luck!</p>

<p>Apart from the SATs, everything else looks fine. Do you have a chance to take them again?</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

10

<p>definitely a reach bc of those sat/act scores. other than that i dont see why not.</p>

<p>chance bck plz</p>

11

<p>IMO it’s a pretty high reach.
Average ECs
Good rank — but how reputable is your school?
Low, low test scores (including APs)</p>

<p>What is your ethnicity? That’s a biggie.</p>

12

<p>a high reach, but not impossible.
chance back please? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/842237-please-prepare-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/842237-please-prepare-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

13

<p>to be honest, a pretty good reach but you definitely have a fighting chance!</p>

<p>Would love to read your essay, I think the essay is a very important part of the application process, go ahead and PM me the insanity one. Thanks.</p>

15

<p>as good as your GPA and EC’s are, your test scores are not Brown material, but I will say its possible, so its a low reach </p>

<p>Chance back please?</p>

<p>like what everyone else is saying, the test scores are what makes brown a high reach for you… but everything else is fine</p>

<p>I’m in exactly the same boat as you. I applied ED to brown (my dream school!) with a 26 ACT and 12% (now 11%) in my class. The low class rank is due to mostly B’s my freshman year…but since then, I have been getting A’s. Anyway, I was deferred to regular decision so I will find out at the end of March…I am really hoping for a miracle! But I did have some pretty unique extracurriculars (i.e. wrote a legislative bill thats currently under review) and I have a lot of community and volunteer work. Plus, I wrote my essays about my background and how I am different since I know Brown loves diversity, as do I. But yeah - moral of the story: i was deferred before some kids who had ACT scores above 30…so I definitely think that Brown takes a more holistic approach when deciding who to accept/reject. Nevertheless, I do know that test score and class rank do serve some importance.</p>

19

<p>Btw…I HATE the ACT/SAT as well! I think it is so stupid and doesn’t measure work ethic or anything like that. That can only be measured by one’s transcript! However, I am also biased in my opinion since the ACT is really the one thing that is really holding me back.</p>

20

<p>I hate to say this to you, but your test scores are low for Brown. Your ECs, though they would be AMAZING for almost any school, are average for Brown. I would say that it’s a high reach. </p>
