<p>I feel like every child (if they can afford the app fee) should have one true reach school on their list. If Brown is that school for you, I say go for it. Yes, 3.2 is going to be a ridiculously tough sell but you might learn something about yourself in putting together your pitch. I wouldn’t put 5 reach school’s like Brown on your list but if this is your one, and you can afford the fee, then you should. </p>
<p>Brown is my daughter’s “throw away” application. Her stats are in range but she’s hardly the top candidate in a pool like that. Still, she’s enjoying the application and learning a lot about what she wants based on learning about the school itself. It’s helped her define the rest of her list which is filled with much more likely options.</p>
