What are my chances of getting into Brown University

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I an currently a junior. I really want to go to Brown on ED or EA. I live in Massachusetts.</p>

<p>That being said, my school is one of the toughest in all America and has been recognized as so. Keep that in consideration while you people judge me. =)</p>

<p>GPA:
My school has a weird way of doing our gpa calculations. we go on a 6.0 system where an A in an honors class is a 6.0 but, i don't know why, AP classes are weighted the same as honors classes. In order to get into say Harvard, we need a 5.8-6.0, basically a perfect gpa. For Brown we need about a 5.7 or 5.8. By the end of junior year i will have a 5.5 or 5.6. which is like maybe 0.15-0.2 less then the needed on the 4.0 system. But naviance only shows gap for us so those people with 5.7-5.8 may not have taken as many AP classes as me cuz I take as many as I can plus one extra AP Physics cuz i had really good grades in math and freshman physics. So i may be closer to the wished gpa. PLZ TAKE WORST CASE SCENARIO: 5.5</p>

<p>SAT: I am currently taking practice tests at home and have worked my way up from a 1770 to about 2330 at home. by the time i take the real test i should have about 2350.</p>

<p>Extra (school related):
Cross Country
Academic Decathlon
Science Olympiad
Tennis (one of the best teams in the state)
National Honors Society
Im also in a club called Y-COMP (a start up club at my school that helps rural farmers by promoting composting in urban/sub-urban areas</p>

<p>Extra (Outside School):
Year-round Tennis
Raise money for orphans in Haiti
Volunteered at a blind school in India
Helped a doctor in India who spent a week of his time in the village areas to give treatment to those who cannot afford it
I work at Rhode Island Hospital over the summers (just for the sake of Brown, other wise I could have worked in MassGeneral or something) and I have gotten to know some on the doctors who have a huge connection to Brown University
I spent some time helping run the campaign in my town for the running senator (he won btw)
I go to RSM (Russian School of Math)
I take classes at MIT over the summers that they don't offer at my school.</p>

<p>Please let me know what you think. If you don't think I can get in here, plz let me know some schools I can get into. Maybe Duke, Tufts, Northwestern, or Berkeley.</p>

<p>If you actually do get a 2350 on the SAT, then I would say you have great chances but it would still be a Low Reach for Brown ED. </p>

<p>Duke: Reach
Tufts: High Match~
NWU: Low Reach
Berkeley: High Match-Low Reach</p>

<p>Honestly… just pour your heart out in the applications and show who you really are. I got accepted into Brown today and I’m shocked because I got very low scores compared to those rejected. SAT Superscore: 1990 MathII- 710 Chem- 740. GPA 3.96 Top 2%. <----------- but these numbers never tell you if you get in so none of our inputs matter. Just try and don’t doubt yourself. I spend days on each paragraph for my essays to make sure they knew who I was. Show who you are and don’t be disappointed if you get rejected for it. Other schools will see you :)</p>
