I am in love with Brown University. It has everything i was looking for in a college and more. It really is my perfect match. So beautiful, so friendly. It's open curriculum is perfect for me. i could go on forever about it.
I attend a really good high school, but i have a B+/A-/A average with four APs and about 9 honors. (except regular math and sciences in all years but senior yr). My transcript shows that i have been adding more challenging classes to my schedule each year.(Ex. freshman yr i was only in english h, soph yr i had english h, world history h and italian h etc)
I have leadership ( elected president of prom committee/ homecoming committee/ cheer captain/ peer nominated 'natural helper' followed by a retreat of sorts/italian club officer), extracurricular activities (piano/italian club/class council all 4 years), work (local supermarket since soph year ), lots of community service (baby sitting/tutoring special ed kids at the library, religious education teachers aid at my church, youth council, UNICEF ambassador) and have been a JV cheerleader freshman - junior year. Silver honor roll (As and Bs) every quarter/semester in highschool. nominated to be an All- American cheerleader (this professional cheerleading organization). cheer squad one 1st at one competition and 2nd at another while i was captain. made a documentory about the holocaust and won 3rd out of 8 school teams in 9th grade. those are my only awards really.
Right now my SAT is a composite score of 1950. My SAT II's are 600 and 620. i passed the 2 APs I have taken so far w/ 3s. i know, bad.
I am applying ED.
What can i do to get in? raise SAT scores? write amazing essays? I know those are obvious and i will do that.
should I independently study to take another AP test in May?
do you have any suggestions that may be out of the ordinary?
i will do anything it takes.
Do you think i even have a shot?
be honest.
thank you!
