<p>I’m not familiar with deadlines any longer, but you should know that some kids do much better on SAT vs ACT, and I would think especially writers as the SAT writing portions are so much harder than the math parts, assuming you do math.</p>
<p>Why ask when it is too late to make suggestions for you? “portfolio of writing” scares me. Were those scores below accepted student averages? below bottom? or out of range?</p>
<p>My daughter did not have her heart set on Brown, or any school. She just wanted to go to a top school with serious and intellectual students. Brown only came in at the last part of the ap process, cause she got into a very good school early and nonbinding. I’m saying this so you can consider alternatives.</p>
<p>Edited to say: I forgot that her scores were 99 percentile, so no equivalent experience here. You will really have to say how low is low if you want any opinions for real.</p>
