<p>OH and appplied math major.</p>

<p>Of course you have a shot. You'll probably get in, too...especially ED.</p>

4

<p>Holy CRAP you are perfect.</p>

<p>I kinda just skimmed your ECs, though. On your real apps, I'm sure you'll organize them and elaborate upon them enough to show what you really DO in each one, right?</p>

5

<p>i agree. you are perfect. how the hell do you have time for all that stuff and get perfect grades???
you are in.</p>

6

<p>don't know anything about plme chances, so no comment.</p>

<p>but good shot ED at Brown imo, however, for you, I think the essays will be very important. we can see really good grades and performance, esp from a public school (how is your public so small?), but there is nothing that stands out to me as your passion. Some sports like you have are always great. So you need to use your essay opps to define yourself.</p>

<p>trim the Ec's down and don't pad, consider skipping 9th and 10th ones that you don't do anymore, ditto most awards unless they relate to something you do now. Think to focus yourself rather than to be all over the place. If you really are all over the place, then make a good essay about it.</p>

<p>thanks! yeah i kind of just have a random list of ecs. I guess I didn't really focus on one activity.. those random honor societies don't mean much.
thanks for the advice! and the encouragement.
and i'm far from perfect- i tried to get involved in everything rather than really focusing on what I like most. and I don't have many awards.</p>

<p>I've gotta write a kickbutt essay now :)
and yeah my school's small. the town I live in is tiny and I don't like it.
Brown on the other hand.. is a perfect size. :D</p>

<p>Think I have a shot??????
Why are you not trying HPYS with those impressive stats?</p>
