<p>“Brown University. Fits every qualification you listed. And right in RI! Definitely look into it.”</p>
<p>My brother goes there. It’s the school I’m trying to ED for, but I’m afraid my scores are too low. </p>
<p>“If revealing clothes make you uncomfortable, then go someplace cold”
Yup! Thanks! I love the cold~~</p>
<p>“Your GPA is low for some of the schools I mentioned. If you were new to the States in 9th grade, your C’s were confined to Math, and you show a strong upward trend, then it may not be a deciding factor.”</p>
<p>I went to an International school in China, and had a Chinese math teacher who pushed us very hard. I took 2 years of Math Honors under her, and dropped to Math Regulars now in 11th grade, where I’ve gotten an A in the first semester, and an A+ in recent quarter. Talk about strong upward trend, huh? Half the kids in her class got low B/Cs, so I’m not exactly the outlier. (Should I tell my counselor to write it in her rec?)</p>
<p>“You may want to focus on colleges that are not in the top 20 (Occidental, Whitman, Bates, etc). Being Asian/International may give you a bigger advantage at small New England schools than California schools.” </p>
<p>Okay, thanks! I’m a US citizen studying in China, actually, so I won’t have that International advantage (but hopefully my 7 years in China will help??) </p>
<p>Thank you both!</p>
