<p>I have also posted a thread where people tell me it will be “a long shot” or “impossible” to get into a college. Don’'t listen to those people. In the end, they may be right. What matters is that you want to go there. If you can get a fee waiver (like me!), then apply to any college you want. All it will take is your effort and I am sure that you dont mind that if you really want to go to Brown. It is a great school. Worse comes to worse, you get rejected (which is a possibility for anyone, no matter their stats) and go to a back-up school. </p>
<p>The thing that I am concerned with (with myself too) is that if you get in, will you be able to handle the difficulty of the classes. If there is one thing you can’t truly, accurately find out from the internet, it is the difficulty of the classes. You don’t want to be in an environment where you can’t handle what is surrounding you even if the people are nice and the campus is pretty and you love the food. As hard as it is (I know first hand, because I am applying to Duke!), it is something that will greatly affect your 4+ years at school.</p>
<p>I hope everything goes well for you regardless of your acceptance or rejection to Brown. It is not the end of the world if you don’t get in. We have to remember that.</p>
