<p>I am currently a Junior</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.91ish</p>

<p>Projected SAT’s
Math: 800
CR: 730
Writing:740</p>

<p>will probably take SAT Math II, Chemistry, and US History in May </p>

  3. AP US History
  4. AP English Language
  5. Web Design

<p>My only B’s have been graphic design freshman year and AP Gov (will a 5 on the exam atone for this)? unless I get really hot toward the end of this semester, I’m getting a B in AP English. </p>

<p>Next year, I plan on taking AP Calc BC, AP Lit, AP Bio, Ap Physics C, and (maybe) AP Stats. </p>

I received national honors in 7th grade for the SAT math portion. (see above parenthetical statement)

<p>This sounds a lot like my son, and he was deferred. But, he still really loves Brown, so there’s always RD.</p>

<p>how much like your son? if you were willing to, could you give me a full profile?</p>

<p>I like your EC’s they’re not that same old boring stereotype ones !
I think if ur passionate enough you’ll have a decent chance :wink:
but don’t forget your grades and class ranks you’ll need those too :slight_smile:
Good Luck</p>

<p>my school doesn’t have class ranks, but if we did, I would imagine that I’d be in the top 10%. Our school runs on an honors-based curriculum.</p>
