<p>I know my freshman years grades sucked and that has affected my total gpa HOWEVER there is a significant increase in GPA since then…do you think Brown would consider this growth as an advantage??</p>
<p>well it’s possible. although i’m not that familliar with the GPA system in the US, (i hail from South Korea) many of my teachers say that having an increasing GPA point average is great, and a lot of colleges take this seriously.
on the plus side you have a LOT of ecs, some of which even i am impressed with.
in conclusion? i think u have a fair shot.</p>
<p>I think that you have a fair shot because you do have a great upward trend, excellent EC in your organization, first generation, and tough work load. Very important are your essays/recs so beast those and best of luck! :)</p>
<p>to shsblu527,
i’m not sure if i’m allowed to ask this, but,
what univ. are you getting ready for? … or have you already succeeded in entering somewhere?</p>
<p>i don’t see why you not!
just show Brown how much you want to go there and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
You’re almost stressing as much as me!
Relax … go watch the Lakers game which is about to start in 3 minutes :)</p>
<p>Hey KB24, too bad you guys got blown out when 'Melo was garbage! HAHA, Birdman is one of my fav 10 players in the whole league. Kobe needs to dump the ball into Gasol like 10-15 more times a game; I think he forget that this is how he won 3 rings with Shaq. Just kidding all in good fun! :)</p>
<p>To the OP: You have as good as shot as most people, even better than a good number of applicants. Keep calm, continue working hard, and best wishes! :)</p>
<p>big dreamer: hahahahaha dominated by 27 now it’s time to dominate them magic shannon brown dunking on birdman. ouch … and the LO dunking on him afterwards. shoot son.</p>
