I sent out a line earlier in the year asking for help, but I did not have all the data in yet. Indulge me, please, one more time. CAN I BE A BROWN GUY?

White, Jewish
suburban eastern public high school–gets some kids into Brown. Well regarded school, not stellar
class rank: number 1 out of 172
(took all the honors and advanced classes, APs etc)

SAT: CR 800 WR 800 M 710 (Sigh-took it twice, same scores)
SAT II: US HISTORY 800, CHEM 800, MATH II C- 740

EXCURR: Started an after school community center with my best friend ( also in my school) for kids grades 6-12, offering tutoring, sports, etc. for free–all via donations.high school students get community service credit for tutoring and coaching. Started in 2009. Over 100 kids served and over 30 volunteers. WON COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS FOR THIS

Chief Delegate MODEL UN

Head of Debate team-- won some, lost some state wide competitions

principal clarinet in Band

Play piano since six years old. Won some local prizes.Played with a local string quartet a few times. Will submit a tape of Mozart piece to adcom.

Have pretty close relationships with the teachers who are writing for me. I was a TA for one of them, ( Chemistry) who knows me really well.

WANNA GO TO BROWN. All the intellectual excitement, the opportunities to explore and travel and think out of the box and none of of the uptightness–will my Math SAT keep me out? My lack of a “Hook”?

I know its a crapshoot for anyone these days. Any suggestions? Hope?
