A lot of kids interested in business think a resume that might qualify them for an impressive job is what the colleges want. And then go ahead and phrase in terms of accomplisments and dollars. Or, make it clear how “important” they think their hs kid’s involvement is. In contrast, tippy top adcoms want to find kids who will fit and thrive, try new things, be open to more than just their career desires. As well as meet academic bars.

A lot of that is subtly communicated by what you chose to get involved with and how it’s phrased. What OP has shown here makes him look unilateral It’s not a case of “more” and “better” being a tip. They still want the right rounding- variety, some humility and that willingness to do more than just what leads you to an eventual job. Comm service beyond just what’s career oriented. In fact, too much emphasis on post college plans or a hint you’ll only be interested in career related, on campus, is an issue.

Plus, without an idea of OP’s broader interests, he can just not be a fit at Brown, with the unique curriculum. And yes, even without specific programs or “schools” (CoE or business,) a tippy top can evaluate the major interests you do put on the Common App or any supp questions, as context for his hs choices, stats, and engagements, his review. But still the right rounding.
