I’m a rising senior hoping to be admitted to Brown in the regular decision round for the class of 2021.
GPA: 4.19W, 3.99UW
ACT: 30-single sitting (30E, 34R, 26M, 31S); 32-superscore (35E, 34R, 27M, 31S)
I realize Brown does not superscore, but will view all of my test scores.

Honors and AP’s: Honors English 1, Honors Algebra 1, Honors Biology, Honors British Literature, Honors Geometry, Honors Chemistry, Honors French II, AP World History, AP Lang/American Lit, Honors Algebra/Trig, AP Biology, Honors French III, APUSH

Senior Course Schedule: AP English Lit, Honors PreCalculus, AP Physics, AP French, AP Art History (online), AP European History, 2 English electives

Extracurriculars:
Cross Country: 10,11,12 (haven’t run varsity but received team leadership award junior year)
Track and Field: 10,11
Health Careers Club: 11 (thought I wanted to be a doctor in order to something “practical” but then I changed my mind)
Service Club: 9,10,11,12
Campus Ministry: 9,10,11,12
French Honor Society: 11,12
National Honor Society: 11,12
Editor for School Magazine: 9,10,11
Link Crew: 11

I like spending my free time reading classics and writing poetry.

My essay is going to be about overcoming serious adversity. I know this is difficult and especially challenging to encompass in the short length but otherwise the admissions counselors won’t get the whole picture and I think it will help me if they do.

I am hoping to concentrate in English.

Recommendations from teacher are from my English teacher/cross country coach and math teacher.

I am concerned that A) I have low test scores especially in math and science, B) not enough leadership, and C) I struggle a lot in math and somewhat in science.

Also, Tufts?!
