@JamesKM :You have been given good advice from your other threads. You need financial aid. You aspire to be a doctor. You changed to another school during sophomore year. There are many factors which needed to be considered. Your school is on Brown’s radar screen, which is a good thing. You explain much clearly about your situation than your chance thread. Make sure you have a good essay to present you to the schools you decide to apply. BTW, a 10-second search failed to locate your business on Etsy. Remember, you only get a few minutes for your file. Make sure you still have your business running when you apply. Good luck.
