<p>Hey everyone! So I am brand new to this forum and I joined to ask one question that is pretty much the center of my life right now. Can I get into Brown University? I have done countless hours of research about Brown and I plan on visiting it in a few weeks. It is my number 1 college by a LONG shot. Here's my academic, extracurricular, leadership, etc. </p>
<p>I live in Robbinsville, NJ and go to Robbinsville High School where I will be a senior this year. The school is public, but it is one of the best in the area and is small and new enough to be highly flexible to my academic wants. I am an eastern-Indian girl. I was born in India, but I was raised in America my whole life and I'm an American citizen now. </p>
<p>My grades, AP scores are overall really good. Here's a brief overview.</p>

<p>ESSAYS/RECOMMENDATIONS/:
I do not have the BEST essay writing skills, because I am not passionate about writing (I am a lover of math and science). But, I am a fairly passionate and creative writer when I need to be. I am not good with highly formatted essays, but my creative writing skills are good.
I have recommendations from my Honors/AP Bio teacher, my honors/AP Chemistry teacher, my guidance counselor, my AP Calculus B/C teacher, and I am going to get one from my senior year English teacher. All the teachers are VERY good writers and like me a lot. </p>
<p>To set me apart from other high-end candidates, I am the YOUNGEST EVER DIRECTOR of the New Delhi, India division of an international volunteer group called Dr. Interns. Basically, a group of 8-10 US Undergrads pursuing medicine will go to India to see the culture and get a hands on medical experience. The students pay money for this experience and all of that money gets donated to the host NGO organization. I facilitated this by partnering with New Delhi NGOs to organize their 30-day stay. </p>
<p>ANYWAY, I am sorry this is so long. I really, REALLY want to go to Brown in my pursuit of a medical degree. I am SUPER motivated and I really think I have a lot going for me.
The other colleges I am applying to are: Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State University, Duke University, Columbia University, Rutgers University, Drexel Univeristy, Dartmouth Univerity, John Hopkins University, Harvard University.</p>
<p>Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. And I thank you for reading all of this post. I really have my heart set on Brown and, as you can see, I am incredibly passionate about getting in.</p>
