sorry but that's not very informative

Your scores, APs and extracurriculars are pretty impressive, but your GPA might be the only concern. Good Luck!!!

i just wanna take a moment and laugh at "sorry that's not very informative" guy, after i spent like five minutes reading a page of accomplishements, what do you want, a novel?
but yes, you definitely have a chance, but i agree with ksp791, gpa's the only concern

A bunch of kids can't tell you anymore than you can predict. People with lower stats than you have gotten in, people with higher stats than you haven't.

I think you have a pretty good chance of getting in. Grades aren't perfect, whatever, but EC's are great and i think that's pretty important to Brown..All we can do now is wait

swimrunstudy

URM is a definite help in this case, GPA is low, SAT is good but not exceptional, but your ECs are pretty solid (I'm a Forensical too!)

You have a chance!! Good luck!

Lol...your SAT score is great. Did you get in?
