Hello everyone! I am currently a junior and next year, I will be applying Early Decision to Brown University and to their PLME program. I realize that stats are not everything, and I have been thinking of an awesome essay to write. I would just like to know what you think my chances are for Brown. Thank you all!

Grade: 11
Class Rank: School does not rank, but probably top 5% (not that it matters)
GPA: 4.65 (weighted)
SAT: I will be taking the SAT in May after I complete the school’s SAT course. I got a 2100 on the diagnostic, though, if that is any indication of how I will score on the actual. I will be taking the Biology M and Math II exams, and a 3rd on that I have not yet decided on.

Freshman Course Load (hardest possible)
Sophomore Course Load (hardest possible)

I am an IB Diploma Candidate, so here are my classes for my Junior and Senior year:
IB Math HL
IB Biology HL
IB English HL
IB Spanish HL
IB History SL
IB Latin SL
Theory of Knowledge

Clubs:
Key Club (recently elected lieutenant governor of my division, previously my club’s Program committee chair for 2 years)
Model United Nations (hopefully a head delegate next year)
Latin Club (co-president, 2 years)
National Honor Society (running for president soon)
Science club (3 years)

Sports:
Varsity Basketball
Varsity Track and Field
Varsity Volleyball (next year as a senior only, so I will probably not be putting it on my application; I’m really only doing it to stay in shape for basketball season, lol)

Volunteer Work:
I tutor children at a homeless shelter. If everything works out, I will also soon be starting to volunteer at a hospital on Saturdays.

Research:
Last year, I did a month-long paid internship over the summer on diabetes research at a Harvard lab. I will most likely be working in the same lab this summer for two months.

Awards:
Not a lot. Some basic school awards. I will (hopefully), given my PSAT score, be a National Merit Commeded Scholar and a National Achievement Semi-Finalist, but this is not definite.

Basic info:
-Ethnicity: African American
-Gender: Female
-Family Income: ~$120,000 (will be decreasing soon when my mother goes back to school)

Sorry this is so long! I just wanted to give you guys a complete view of me so that you can chance me to the best of your ability. Thank you all ahead of time!
