<p>SAT I: 710 M, 630 V (retake in December)
SAT II’s: 630 MIIc, 710 Chem, 720 Writing
GPA: 4.14 weighted (4.22 senior yr so far); Rank: 6/80 (small, really tough college prep. private school)

<p>AP: Chemistry (4); Lit and Comp (3)
Senior courses:
Early American Lit, Film Lit, AP Biology, AP Art History, AP Calculus BC, Conceptual Physics, Latin 5</p>

<p>My counselors really liked my essays, so those are okay, I’m a National Merit semifinalist, student council representative, math club secretary, Mu Alpha Theta honor society, National Honor Society, Latin National Honor Society, Key Club, volunteer at Manatee Memorial Hospital (200+ hrs), 400+ hrs so far in all volunteer services, National Youth Leadership Forum Medicine (washington d.c.), State Champions Varsity Tennis 2004, district champs. 10-12, regional champs. 11-12, Tutor students at my school in math, science (job), district champion academic team (10th-12th)</p>

<p>So, thats some of my stuff, I have awards of excellence and things like that, but these are the major extracurriculars and awards. Also, I’m Indian from Florida- want to do medicine, trying for those programs too…i’d appreciate the honesty…retook sat’s december, hoping for 1400+…so, please, any advice, or any idea on how i’ll fare in applying to brown would be great…THANKS!</p>

<p>Not really sure, but have you talked to the tennis coach at brown? If your HS team was state champion (of a tennis state!), you might be D1 material and that could be a good boost.</p>

<p>one of my friends already got in for tennis, im not ranked 1-5 in school or anything, no private training, so i dont think tennis will really help at all, but do you know if a lot of people get in with 1400's-1430's and my ec's...cuz im just worried</p>

<p>If it's any comfort, my brother got in with a 1380. Don't sweat the SATs; they don't matter as much as you might think, although they do still count.</p>

5

<p>Do you happen to have your brother's other info?</p>

6

<p>Umm, some of it.</p>

<p>SATs: 1380
GPA: Around 94-95 (I think)
Rank: 4/58</p>

<p>3 APs (only ones my school offered at the time)</p>

<p>First semester senior year, he took 4 courses at Colgate (only one for credit)</p>

<p>He was a great violinist and taught it for 3 years I think</p>

<p>Got into Brown, Dartmouth (double legacy), Holy Cross, Carnegie Mellon, and Tufts. Waitlisted at Rice. </p>

<p>Went to Brown (the obvious choice, ha)</p>

7

<p>You're going to the same school as your brother? There's no way I would do that.</p>

8

<p>Well, we'll only be there for a year at the same time, and it's a pretty big place. Plus, he's a cool guy, and we barely speak when we're both at home, so I don't think it'll be any great stretch.</p>

9

<p>yeah, im applying to dartmouth and brown as my only two ivies, and im applying to tufts as well (no legacies though :(, nothing like that...i have a rec. letter from a doctor who is a chair at NIH, but i dont think that'll help )</p>
