<p>I want to know this ASAP. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Do you plan to reverse engineer yourself to fit?</p>
<p>If you’re asking because you want to become Brown’s ideal student, the answer is “not you.” Just be yourself - colleges don’t really give any preference to certain “types” of students.</p>
<p>HYPWAS, </p>
<p>you have the acronym wrong, it’s PRESTIGEWHORE.</p>
<p>Also, what irony that you’re only school specific posts have been about MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Brown, and Northwestern.</p>
<p>HYPWAS, if you did get in you probably wouldn’t be very happy. Brown students are not so much into prestige, they are more into independence and flexibility. They tend to mock prestige-seekers. Brown itself begins its presentation to accepted yet still undecided students with a series of movie and TV clips which make fun of the school. I still wonder if this is an intentional last-ditch effort to get rid of those prestige-obsessed individuals who managed to slip through the committee.</p>
<p>Honestly, Brown takes a huge array of students. Trying to be one of those rather than being yourself is not a good way to start your app.</p>
