<p>depends on the major you are applying, if you apply medical, then I think it will be very challenge!</p>

3

<p>You think so? My intentions are to pursue medicine…or engineering. I’m actually undecided.</p>

4

<p>ruiming’s post is simply incorrect. It runs counter to what Brown itself says. You apply to the college, not to a degree. </p>

<p>No one can give you chances Kevin. You put yourself in the pool of other top scholars and hope for the best. This goes to the other Ivy forums you’ve posted as well. Good luck</p>
