not your typical brown applicant

Ehhhh, I don’t know if I’d say that I burned out as much as that I just never really developed any outside of school study habits…I cruised through elementary school studying things that no one else understood (Einstein, etc.) because I liked it, and not really caring about what we were learning, since it was so easy. Then, in middle school, my older brother, who was in high school, was a big distraction to me for a lot of reasons I don’t really want to get into…anyway I’m not going to tell Brown this, so it doesn’t really matter.

Also, I don’t really know how legacy works at Brown, but my first cousin is currently their, and her dad, my uncle, is a member of the faculty. Will this make any significant difference?
