Brown PLME - SAT Score?

Hello,

My dream is Brown PLME, but I know it’s super competitive and pretty much everyone applying has amazing statistics/academics. I just got my SAT score back today and I’m really disappointed unfortunately :frowning: I got a 1450 (660 EW, 790 M) and I’m really worried this will completely ruin my chances of getting in. I’m thinking about retaking it in March, but if it doesn’t work out, I’m probably not going to submit my SAT score.

How much does the SAT impact your application at Brown? I’m a Californian and an Asian female (11th grade). My grades are fine I think (4.0 unweighted as of now), and my AP scores right now are:

AP World History: 5
AP Physics 1: 4

I’m currently taking AP Literature, AP Biology, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Calc AB. If I get 5s on these, could it compensate for my low SAT score? I’m also shadowing a pediatrician (applying to hospitals now to volunteer). I’ve won a competition (Conrad Challenge) by creating a diagnosis device and was invited to a conference for that. I’ve participated in some summer programs (UC Berkeley ATDP - Advanced Biotech, Stanford Immersion in Community Medicine, UChicago Young Innovators Program).

If my SAT score might affect their admission decision, what should I do to make up for it? What does Brown PLME look for in their applicants? I’m hoping the March SAT will go better and I can superscore - but worst case scenario if I don’t do better, what can I do to compensate and make myself a better applicant? Please help :slight_smile:

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
