sorry to say, but you have 0 chance (just b/c of your SAT score)

Improved SAT score to close to 2000 but it was not
good enough I guess for the Ivies.
A jump of nearly 100 points!!!!!!!!!!!!
ACT was only a 29.
3.97 was actually UW and 4.30 was W.
Took pains for the essays, esp for Brown.
My friend a National Merit Finalist, got rejected by all the Ivies.
Still I got into some very good colleges. LoL. but not
Brown. Getting into an Ivy is a Crap Shoot!!!!!!
