Wow....you have *so much*!I feel is worthless looking at all your accomplishments. None of us have any idea whether Brown would like you, but I *suppose* you have a really good chance with Brown.

You don't need to take the SATs again -- your scores are fantastic. Don't waste your time or money.

PLME has a very low acceptance rate, so despite your credentials you will have a small chance of getting accepted. None of us can tell you your chances -- only admissions knows.
