Rank: school doesn't rank, but def. in the top 10 out of over 400
Other stats: 5's on four exams and 4 on physics and english
Subjective:
Essays: original, but unedited, not refined
Teacher Recs: the coolest teachers ever who love me to death
Counselor Rec: my prinicipal wanted to write it...really good
Hook (if any): sec. gen. of MUN, drum and bugle corps, diplomat stuff
Location/Person:
State or Country: SoCal

General Comments: I know why i didn't get in (yet, hopefully). My sat scores weren't good at all and my essay wasn't refined and I turned in my app 3 minutes past the time I thought it was due. I realized that it was actually a day early. So i panicked, and nothing got read before submission, freaking out-ness etc. OK, that was really confusing, sorry. |

Other Factors: Executive Board Member of Caring Adolescents Reaching the Elderly organization; Layout Editor and Assistant Editor-in-Chief of school yearbook; nominated to be a member of school Kolbe Retreat Leadership Team and a Eucharistic Minister; Math Tutor (2x per week); lots of research; NYLF & NSLC on Medicine; Altar Serving for 10+ years; Flute player; Jiu jutsu for 8+ years; Hospital volunteering; Inducted into Quill & Scroll Honor Society for Journalism; Ranked 1 out of about 650 for 2003-2004 academic year General Comments: Brown has been my dream school for a while...and I had a pretty good interview too, so I'm hoping I have a chance!  Also, I've heard it's recommended that deferred students send letters to Brown saying that it's still their first choice. Does that sound desperate, or should I contact them? Thanks! | |

Also, if you have any new information over the next couple of months I'd send that a note on that too. | |

Congrats to those accepted! | |

your ECs are incredible. I seriously don't know why you did not get in, unless SATs are worth 70% (and i'd really hate to think that). Love your attitude, keep trying! =) | |

| Aw, thanks lillynch! *blush* I wouldn't say godly by any means, but I know I tried my best.
Incidentally, I ultimately wasn't accepted to Brown or PLME; I'm going to the Siena/Albany Med program instead. I'm so excited!
Thanks to everyone on CC who helped me through the nightmarish application process. | |
