don’t have my PSAT back yet…
I’m looking at Brown and also some LACs…</p>
<p>what are my chances</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but really your GPA is way too low. I honestly think you have a 0 chance. But I think its great that you do lots of community service and you are motivated. That will take you far in life. </p>
<p>Improve your GPA to at least a 3.95 and then there is a possibility. Until then, I’m sorry.</p>
<p>xxxFutureIVYxxx is a year behind you and doesn’t know what he/she’s talking about.
For Brown you need to be in the top 10% of your class. Even if you do poorly on your PSAT, there’s plenty of time to improve. If you haven’t already, register at the collegeboard/SAT web site so you can get the SAT Question of the Day emails. They are a great free tool for preping. Keep up the EC’s and prepare for the SAT/ACT and you’ll have a good shot at Brown or any other similar schools.</p>
