I just really need some HONEST feedback

Thanks Armagnac!
The stuff about legacy makes sense. My SAT scores are actually above my school’s average (and Brown’s) but certainly not for the students who matriculate to Brown from my school. The math weakness is lifelong and inexcusable–I’ve just always hated it and sucked at it, which spurred a vicious cycle. I have really, really tried to show my passions for the humanities (i.e. adding extra courses, taking classes over summers, through my essays, etc.) About art, mine is pretty great (not even bragging, it’s just objectively very impressive) and I may send in more along with a post-deferral “I still love you, Brown!” note. It’s basically the theme of my common application and my supplements, but so much so that I was concerned I appeared one-dimensional. Judging from Brown’s ED admits, they were really loving prospective pre-med and German double majors, or applicants who planned to pursue studio art and political science. Thank you for the honest feedback–I’ve been wrestling with the Wesleyan debacle for a while.
