Hello!
Brown’s my top choice, and love the school. These are my stats. Just want to know what you guys think!
Race: Pakistani
Intended Major: For my Brown Concentrations I have Mechanical Engineering and Music
Gender: Male
Income: Family makes more than or about $200,000 a year but have to take care of 7 people.
Siblings/Legacy: No legacy but have 2 sisters that have graduated from UVA Engineering Undergrad and have 1 sister going into UVA Engineering in this fall.
GPA: 4.261 Weighted and a 3.85 UW, bad Spanish grade, speak Urdu at home and English so Spanish is very difficult for me. Also my school doesn’t do A+’s (school doesn’t rank) I’d guess top 10ish
SAT: Good but not the best, only factor I’m really worried about, 750 Math and 710 R/W (1460) with a 7/7/7 (21) on the essay
My parents have told me that I’ll never get into any university with scores like this, but I was really proud of it because I worked really hard to get that score. Standardized testing triggers my intense anxiety and I choke real hard. I plan on not retaking the test again (should I? I’ve taken it twice already. Don’t want to)
SAT Subject Tests: 780 Math II and 720 Physics
AP’s and (Scores):

Recs:
I love my Lang Teacher and she knows me really well as a student and as a person so I feel she would write me a very good rec (she already said yes) prediction: 10/10
Calc teacher loved me too because I was fun and wasn’t afraid to ask questions prediction: 9/10
Counselor Rec: Idk we got a new counselor so I’m gonna meet them once schools back up
Essays:
For common app I wrote about how it took me half of my life to solve a simple puzzle and how it taught me that there’s no one right solution to a problem and it can be worked around so that you can get the best lessons from solving them another way. Was humorous but serious in it so I’d rate it to be at around a 8-9/10 but I’ll ask if my Lang teacher can take a look at it
