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): AP World History (4) AP Calculus BC (5, 5 AB sub-score) AP Lang (5) AP Chem (3, RIP) AP Stat (5) All Honors Classes/AP’s taken: Freshman (All A’s but with a B+ in Spanish II with a B- In Spanish 1 from 8th grade): Algebra 2 Hn, English 9 Hn, World History 1 Hn, Biology Honors, Spanish II, Gym, Advanced Band - Geometry Hn (8th grade) Sophomore (All A’s EVEN IN SPANISH III LETS GO): Chem Hn, AP World, English 10 Hn, Pre-Calc w/ Trig Hn, Advanced Band, Gym, Spanish III Junior (All A’s): AP Lang, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Chem, Physics Hn, US History Hn, Advanced Band I’ve improved a lot since freshman year, showing an upward trend. I don’t know how important this is for colleges, but I know I’m proud of it! Senior Course Load: Multi-Var and Matrix Algebra (only 20 kids in the whole school take this course, dual enrolling) Adv STEM Engineering (.5 boost) AP Gov AP Physics C AP Comp Sci A Advanced Band English 12 Hn EC’s: 1. Intern at a place I will keep private because it is unique to my state. What you do is teach people about STEM won’t go too much in detail but it was really cool, very passionate about getting people to pursue STEM cuz I used to hate STEM but gained a love for it, wrote about this change in Brown’s “why are you interested in your intended area of study?” (2018) 2. Treasurer of Science National Honor Society (2018,2019) 3. Intern at the Teach The World Foundation (2018,2019) still going on to this day 4. President of Astronomy Club (2016-2019) 5.

Member of schools Varsity Math Team, high scorer for all of the events (top 3 in school) (2016-2019) 9. Key Member in our schools marching band (play euphonium in schools top band) (2016-2019) 10. Chosen to be the 2nd Trombonist in Schools Jazz Band (2018,2019) Awards/Honors: Nothing big at all AP Scholar MHS NHS SNHS Academic Honor Roll 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
