[ size=+1][ color=green][ b]Decision: Accepted! [ /b][ /color][ /size]

[ b]Stats:[ /b][ list]
[ *] SAT: 2310
[ *] SAT IIs: Bio 700, Math 780
[ *] GPA: out of 100 scale, 99ish
[ *] Rank: School doesn't rank, but I predict 3ish
[ *] Other stats: National Merit Commended, AP Scholar with Honors, Coca-Cola Semi.... etc.
[ /list][ b]Subjective:[ /b][ list]
[ *] Essays: I thought they were good - I guess they did too?
[ *] Teacher Recs: Good
[ *] Counselor Rec: Very Good
[ *] Hook (if any): None at all - I'm a white jewish male from NY - probably the worst anti-hook you can come across
[ /list][ b]Location/Person:[ /b][ list]
[ *] State or Country: New York
[ *] School Type: Public Suburban
[ *] Ethnicity: See above
[ *] Gender: Male
[ /list][ b]Other Factors:[ /b] Millions of clubs, including Pres. of Student Government, Theater/Television, Vocal clubs, national honor, spanish honor
[ b]General Comments:[ /b] My interview sucked, so whoever thinks decision depends on interview, it absolutely does not. Just be yourself, show some initiative in the application process. I e-mailed two professors to ask several questions, one of which talked to an admissions officer on my behalf because they liked my "inquisitive mind." And that took 2 minutes of my life - I think Brown values the "little things in life that mean so much." And this is one of them :-)
