Other Factors: 1.i EDed Brown/ I spent the most time on Brown's Applications
2. ECs: math team, speech team, girls' volleyball while in Dighton-Rehoboth HS..nothing really impressing kuz i was in DR for only a year and most of the stuff i do at HS in China don't matter as much since Brown probably has no idea what they are anyway.
3. Awards: Southeastern Massachusetts Conference math league: top scorer 2006-07/ Boston Globe scholastic Art Award: Gold key.
4.maybe my art portfolio helped, too( I got in RISD with that portfolio)


General Comments: My test scores weren't really as good as a lot of ppl from my country, well, maybe Brown doesn't look at standarlized scores that much. I truly had great passion for Brown and as an international student I knew about Brown more than most of the ppl around me in my country because I stayed in Rehoboth in my junior year as an exchange student. Rehoboth is pretty close to Brown and I got to visit Brown and Providence a lot; i was really lucky to be able to spend a year in Rehoboth and get such a great experience.
Also, I got in the brown-risd dual degree program and I wonder if i will do well in the program because it seems so intense and difficult. it's great, tho, to get a chance to go to both Brown and RISD, both of which are my favorite colleges.
