<p>Thank you! be honest</p>

<p>Yes, low income, first generation from VT gives you a shot. It would really help if you could raise the scores a bit.</p>

<p>I don’t if i’ll raise the scores… I’d have to take the SAT’s for a third time, and the second time I took them, my math score actually dropped… :frowning: ^that is my super score with my math score from the first time</p>

<p>*I don’t know if I’ll raise the scores</p>

<p>bumpppp…</p>

<p>our stats are really similar. i liked brown when i visited, but i prob won’t apply.
but other than that, i think your chance is good. what do you think you’d write about in your essay?</p>

<p>also chance me back please :D</p>

<p>and we’re taking the same 2 sat 2’s
:D</p>

<p>Why aren’t you applying? And you honestly think I have a good chance? Explain.</p>

<p>For my essay, I’m currently writing about cutting my own hair, by accident. I don’t know if I’ll stick with that topic, though.</p>

<p>that’s really creative!
there’s some people from my school also applying with much better stats, so yeah :frowning: </p>

<p>and you seem like you’re very interested in brown, with the summer program and all. and i would assume your teachers would write great recs. apply early?</p>

<p>I don’t know if I will apply early or not. It seems like I don’t have enough time at this point, considering none of my essays are done. I’m not really familiar with ED, however.</p>

<p>bumppppp…</p>
