Teacher’s rec- I have one teacher who will definitely write me a really good one, haven’t decided yet for the other one.

I put this on Chances thread, wanna hear from ppl who are thinking of brown…

ED for brown or Cornell??? I’m reallllllly intimidated just by the name “brown”

I think Cornell would be a lot more realistic, but brown is my dream school…

My SAT IIs are weak. Should I just re-take the Oct MathIIC and Chem and submit whatever I have, or just NOT submit them since brown doesn’t really “require” SAT IIs for ACT takers, although having them would be a lot better? (I guess more the better??)

Or take the MAth IC instead of IIc ?? may be I should take both… (Not a mathematician at all, though I’m Asian)

Well, I just want to hear from people who don’t know me so that I get honest feedbacks…

ED for brown? or forget it and go for Cornell? HELP!!
