<p>Your grades and SAT scores, unfortunately, don’t make you a competitive applicant in this really numbers-driven process. However, I think Brown looks at the whole person more than do many other comparable schools. Brown likes people who are really passionate about what they do, and it sounds like you’re really passionate about languages. So show them that. It will set you apart. Also, explain why Brown is the best place for you to explore this passion. With that said, it still might not change the end result, but it’s the best you can do.</p>
