<p>Do you think Brown actually give less consideration to SAT scores compared to the other unis? Or is that just what they say.</p>
<p>the one indicator is that this is true is that brown has a really wide median distribution of scores among the admitted class.
brown takes a surprisingly small fraction of applicants with perfect scores (25%)
at the same time, the fraction of students brown takes with perfect scores is much higher than the fraction they take with < 1100. but the fact that they do in fact take a significant percentage of students with pretty low scores may be encouraging.</p>
<p>VERY encouraging for me</p>
<p>but remember you also have to standout at something, or be very solid all-around academically.
Does give most of us hope :)</p>
<p>Well, I'm still worrying! My SAT1 score is 1370 and my 2's aren't great either, although I am re-doing them.
However my academic grades are okay and I'm the swimming captain and swimmer of the year.
Should I keep worrying? haha....</p>
<p>my sat score is low 1300s and my 2s definitely are not too good (all 600s). I'm redoing my sat 1s in january. my academic grades...yea. could be better but I'm on that. </p>
<p>However, I'm big on community involvement and music. I think that gives me that edge (not well rounded but the specific talented). I hope brown is nice to people like that.</p>
<p>according to the 2005 usnwr, brown's mean sat scores are 1290-1500. so 25% of incoming freshman have scores below 1290. so whatever your scores are, don't lose hope!</p>
<p>my SAT score isn't quite up to par with all the others posted here. but do you think only taking one SAT II (math IIc) will hurt me? I submitted my ACT scores so 3 SAT IIs aren't required.</p>
