Usual - advice about applying(international student)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I will apply as an international student. I expect to get about 28 at ACT, 700-770 SAT Math 1 and also take SAT U.S. History (although I have been learning it by myself for only 3 months). TOEFL about 90-100.</p>

<p>Not good, although I have 3.98 GPA and I’m in the top 5th - 1th of my school. I don’t have any choice of courses (only these college preparatory ones - those I take almost all), but I study at school with pretty high standarts . Should I explain why there are so low scores in the application?</p>

<p>As for activities I lead school drama club, play saxaphone, jog, swim, worked as volunteer (going to do do it again), worked as nanny for a while. I started to participate in those, but drama, in the 10th grade (11th is my final one). Don’t remember any honours (not so wide-spread in my country).</p>

<p>Can you give me any advice? I really want to study there.</p>

<p>Besides, could someone tell me more about Brown’s economics department?</p>

<p>Be confident. Brown will accept you if you get higher score</p>

<p>No, they might not. No guarantees. IMO telling people they are guaranteed to get in is setting up for disappointment.</p>

<p>I would say raise the test score and write good essays. Then hope for the best.</p>
