Best tip: ignore the troll named LetsBeReal21.

You look pretty solid. Make sure you write a great essay that helps tie your interests and achievements together.

My advice?
Write about how you founded the Chinese Club. Brown looooooves kids who make things. I would know, I'm Brown class of 2016 and I started a club too. The awesome thing, I think, about the Brown application is the addition of the unique essays on the supplement. They are questions that you really have to think about. If the supplement is similar(which it most likely will be) you will have the perfect platform to write about it. They actually read those essays. Your SATs are fine. You're obviously smart, that goes without saying. Make sure ou demonstrate why you are different and an asset to Brown.
Good luck!

1) I think it is absolutely ridiculous that some people are giving out percentages for your chance to make their evaluations seem more credible.

2) Very strong app. You better have killer essays. I really hope you started them in the beginning of the summer or earlier. Don't skimp on the supplements, or you will appear to be an "ivy plus" mass applicant who applies to twenty schools.

3) You appear very academic. Which isn't always a good thing. Try your best to show admissions how you aren't going to be cooped up in a library for four years.

Are you an interesting person who has "a life"? Are people in college going to want to talk to you? Or are you just a dull person with an extensive list of accomplishments?

Good luck.
