VERY Small School...Chances?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I come from a very small high school in Wisconsin (only 125 in the entire high school).</p>

<p>Our school offers zero AP classes and has zero clubs (well…except pep club, but I’m NOT joining that). I exhausted our curriculum in both science and math after my junior year, so I’m taking indepedent calc and chem this year, both for no credit or grade.</p>

<p>*4.0 GPA (UW)
*5 credits of math (algebra 1, algebra 2, advanced math, geometry, calculus)
*5 credits of science (biology, chemisty, physics, anatomy and physiology, advanced biology)
*4 years of Spanish
*4 years of band (marching, concert, pep, etc…first chair clarinet for all four years…went to state solo/ensemble my soph. and junior years and most likely this year)
*4 years of varsity cross country (P.R. of 18:59…captain this year…our team went to state)
*3 years of varsity basketball (starting center…averaged about 10 PPG last year…captain)
*3 years of varsity baseball -counting this year- (3 year starting pitcher…2 year ace…around a 1.25 ERA last year…captain last year)
*3 years of NHS
*Went on Spanish trip to Mexico two years ago and going to Costa Rica next summer</p>

<p>*ACT - 33 (E-33 M-34 R-35 S-30 W-8)</p>

<p>I think that’s about it. What are my odds?</p>

<p>Very good. Colleges like to see that you’ve made the most - and more - of what you have education-wise, and I don’t think Brown is an exception. </p>

<p>And I thought my school was small (100 in each class; about 150 in the freshman class).</p>

<p>I’m really hoping I get into Stanford (I applied SCEA and I find out on Dec. 15) but if I don’t I would love to go to Brown.</p>

<p>And I laugh at people who call their school small :)</p>

<p>I come from a very small school, too! (380 people in the entire school…but it’s K-12!)</p>

<p>I think your chances are great. Good luck!</p>
