@browndirt2021 I’ve decided to go ED to Brown as it’s truly my #1. Took the ACT again so I’ll have at least a super score of 33 (and I’m feeling the 33 on the actual test). I have a 4.0 GPA and 4.6 W (I didn’t score as high as I would’ve liked bc of test anxiety).
My advice is to apply early to your #1. But if Yale and Brown are neck and neck, go SCEA to Yale. A girl at my school with a 2240, 4.0, and legacy at Yale got in SCEA and got into Brown RD.
Also my mom is an interviewer for Harvard and her boss asked for my name to tell the admissions office (don’t know if that’s a big help in admission, but it definitely doesn’t hurt!).
Good luck!
