HS stats were subpar, but am excelling (4.0) at top 30 LAC. Do I have a shot at Brown?

I just finished my freshman year.

My HS GPA was around a 3.6 and my SAT score was a 2100. The thing is, I had great ECs and I think that helped get to me where I am now. At my college, I have a 4.0. I have a bunch of pretty big leadership positions. For example, I’m student rep on two committees with board of trustees, am president of an organization for sustainable investment, and have 2 solid teacher relationships. This summer, I have an internship at a startup and paid collaboration with the New York Times.

So, in short, I have been excelling in college and if I ever had a chance at Brown (my dream school), it is now. I didn’t even apply after HS because - again, my HS stats were subpar - but I’m wondering if I have a shot now?

Your shot is definitely better now. Go for it and good luck! Start early!

You can apply next year but your odds are much lower than when you were in high school and, if you have a scholarship, you may lose it. So keep doing well at your LAC.
