I wanted to know what my chances are as of now for Brown. I have always wanted to go there since freshman year, but I do not have any legacy at any school in the US as my parents are from South Africa.

I am taking 2 AP Courses and 5 AP Courses next year (this may not seem like a lot, but I am taking all the courses my school offers). I go to a highly-regarded public school.

Scores:
680- CR
720- M
670- W

EC:
- Vice President of Advisory Board for my city (appointed by the mayor)- 3 years
- Vice President of TeenLink (a youth suicide/crisis line open nightly from 6-10 pm, have contributed over 300 hours so far)- 3 years
-Editor (and hopefully editor-in-chief next year) for our nationally recognized school newspaper- 2 years
- Relay for Life Logistics Coordinator/Team Development Coordinator (helped raise the annual donation total from 20,000 to over 50,000)- 3 years
-Track Team- lettering this year (as a junior)- 3 years
-BRIDGES Leader (advisory period student leader for a class of 20 high school students)- 1 Year
- Summer Volunteer Program- summer volunteer program, contributed over 500 hours in the past 5 years.

The SAT scores are a tad low, but everything else seems good. When are you taking the Subject Tests?

I think you're a stronger candidate than I was and I got in. Focus now on recommendations and essays, I think those might be your key to getting in.

I had 590 CR 680M and 620W

Rank 1/70
