| When considering applying to schools such as Brown, you should type in their website on the computer knowing that there is no guarantee of admittance no matter what credentials you may have. This is not to make you feel bad, its just the truth. Numerically, you are a solid candidate and ECs look ok too. That's all anyone can really tell you, but personally, I would love to have your scores =)
Good luck with everything! | |

| haha dave. well try this for wack: I am a card-carrying member of the Monarchist League of Canada, and probably will be running for Young Monarchist Co-ordinator.
And high five for Art History. Just gotta put it out there, it was my favourite course in my entire high school career. And no, in case anyone is curious, it wasn't weird being a guy and taking Art History, as the school is exclusively male.
Ne t'inquiete pas. Tous ira bien. Je doute qu'il existe beaucoup de candidats qui sont aussi bon que tu.
(Would have never gotten anything close to 800 on French. Even though I have studied it for 8 years) | |

| Hmm...stiff competition :’ (
And thanks, Von_herrs. My mom’s French and I’m a dual French-American citizen, so I’ve kind of had an unfair advantage. Monarchist League of Canada?? Aha, not sure what to think of that.
Arslankhan90, did you even read the previous posts? I feel the same way you do.
Maybe I should join TEMPLE. You think so, Dave? Muffy? Definitely a h0tt EC. | |

| if SAT scores actually meant anything above 2200 (i.e. "The Plateau") I would be in hibernation, dave.
Oh, and Isabella, don't worry, monarchism in Canada is not a fringe movement......right? (whatevs...after all, we are still a constitutional monarchy....technically)
You have fairly good chances. I think you are somewhat stronger of a candidate than I am, and since a couple independent counselors have considered me a "shoe-in" for Brown (do I sound like I actually trust them?), you should in all likelihood get a fairly decent reception at Admissions | |

| There's a "Plateau?" This is news to me.
But with those SATs I could rest easy with applications in general. | |
