<p>Just wondering, after reading thread upon thread of the stats of the accepted and rejected Brown students, I kinda saw a trend of so-so stat people on CC (2100/2200 ish SATs, not perfect SAT ii’s) getting more acceptances to Brown than the more perfect ones (2300/2400s, 800’s on SAT ii’s).</p>
<p>The only perfect ones that I saw getting into Brown were those who got like 2400s, 800s, and had the perfect EC profile.</p>
<p>So does this mean that Brown is more partial toward the personality and the essay? And in a sense, less-than-perfect students as a result?</p>
<p>Well, interestingly enough, it seemed like an either/or situation. Like either the 2400's got in, or the 2200s. Most of the 2300s fell through, but still got into Yale or Harvard or something.</p>
<p>(Okay, not most, but you get the general point)</p>
<p>i guess they look at the whole profile of a student. A perfect student to them isn't a perfect test taker.<br>
yes for me...haha
i think they put a big emphasis on ECs.</p>
<p>I don't think that CC students are a good database to use to make a judgment on this. The sample is too small, self-selecting, and I don't necessarily trust that people report their actual scores here. </p>
<p>If you go to the facts and figures page (Brown</a> Admission: Facts & Figures) you'll see that the higher your SAT scores, the greater the probability you'll get accepted. Based on that chart, I don't think your hypothesis is necessarily true.</p>
<p>I second fireandrain's post. My SATs were 2300+ (not 2400) and I'm attending Brown this fall. A holistic review means it has less to do with which interval your SATs fall under and more to do with your entire application as a whole.</p>
