<p>Didn’t you already post this? I remember seeing it earlier.</p>

<p>Most of us that frequent this forum choose not to “chance” people, especially based on the limited information we have about you. You look very much like many other Brown applicants based on your GPA, SAT, and extracurriculars. What Brown takes into account is really the things that make you different, which are most easily known through your essays and recommendations. Those will make you stand out.</p>

<p>Good luck with the rest of high school!</p>

<p>Honestly, </p>

<p>I don’t think top 25% is going to cut it…especially for the ivys…I mean, if you look at the statistics…on their website…It says that 97.6% are from the top 10% of their class make it into the school.</p>

<p>So its not about us chancing you…its whether or not you think your that…2.4%…</p>
