<p>Hi. I’m applying to Brown for Regular Decison. Even though I’ve already decied to apply, I would appreciate any advice on whether I have a better than 16% chance of acceptance. I’m suffering from at least one college-related mental illness…I know :)</p>

I’m in a mildly selective “specialty center” that emphasizes the humanities. I attend a suburban high school in central VA. </p>

<p>Other:
Belarus native, U.S. citizen and resident for about 12 yrs.
Fluent in Russian, reasonably competent in Spanish</p>
<p>For recommendations, I asked teachers who know me well, and who have taught me in two classes each…those should be positive (unless they’re all conspiring against me :))</p>
<p>My essay is apparently pretty good; everyone who has read it has been impressed, including my praents, who aren’t impressed by anything.</p>
<p>Thanks…</p>
