<p>would i have a shot if i did ED to brown? my gpa isn't the highest and i could have taken slightly higher classes (ex. taking calc ab instead of bc right now) and I'm at a competitive high school, so i don't know how much that damages me. i live in an area that would allow me to have an interview. i could ED some other good college where i knew i could get in, like northwestern... but brown is my dream school. i also have triple legacy at university of michigan and my dad works there so i don't know if i can consider that a safety or not but should i just shoot for the stars and go there if it doesn't work? WHAT DO!!</p>
