hello everyone. I was just curious, which applicant has a better chance at getting into brown. It’s possible that both of them probably won’t get in but, out of curiousity, who has the better chance…
APPLICANT 1: UW 4.0 gpa and took the most challenging possible courseload at our high school. about 2200 SAT and near 800 SAT II’s with few extracurriculars (some service, one or two clubs)
APPLICANT 2: maybe 3.7-3.8 UW who took as challenging of a courseload as #1, minus maybe one AP. Has over 2100 SAT and mid 700 SAT II’s. Co-captain of varsity volleyball (played all 4 years), has leadership positions in clubs, some service…

basically are grades enough to get one into brown??
