<p>As you can see, my passion really lies in communication and creativity. I hope that’s what comes off, at least. Do I seem too one-sided? </p>

<p>I would SO amazingly appreciate any kind of feedback. Brown (with the facilities of RISD) is so where I see myself.</p>

2

<p>no SAT IIs??..i think Brown requires them</p>

3

<p>ahh didn’t realize you were only a junior…sorry about that</p>

4

<p>I thought Brown only required SAT IIs for PLME.</p>

5

<p>a good deal might depend on the high school you’re at (an AP score from sophomore year isn’t enough to make an assumption)…</p>

<p>but in my opinion you’re about as set as any applicant could be. embrace that communication/creative side! let it shine through in your essay when it comes time</p>

<p>and speaking of time, my experiences have taught me to relax at this point in your high school career. it sounds absurd, I know, but seriously take the time to enjoy things and not worry about how colleges will see you. you’ll have all of next summer to do that</p>
