I don’t know much about the PLME program except that it’s really competitive.

I applied ED to Brown, and my SAT score was a little bit lower than yours (but I didn’t take any subject tests and so I submitted my ACT, which they accept in place of the SAT and Subject tests)

If you know you want to come, apply ED. It’s a lot less nerve racking to know where you’re going a whole semester before everyone else, AND you can get a Brown hoodie to sport for Christmas. 🙂

I hope to see you on campus next year!

Your SATs are on the lower end, but there are definitely students in that range who were accepted. Keep working on them.

Also, the quality of your high school matters…straight A’s from a poor school aren’t going to fly as well as a 3.6 from a top ranked school. Unfortunately, that’s not something you can change. If you feel like your school might compromise you (i.e. you’re one of the few kids in your school who goes to college or at least who is applying to good colleges) play that up in your application…that makes you special.

GOOD LUCK.

2 topics for you–

excluding military academies, it matters not

one bit if one starts classes at one’s ideal

university as a frosh or a junior.

I have never ever heard of one college in the US to reject a jr that had applied for admission.

does that help you in any way?

In my BIASED opinion, all students should

stop taking college entrance tests and

not enter any university as a frosh or

as a lower division student–it is a pure waste!

[the college tests are part of American culture, not any law. They depict probabilities only.

I got the nation’s lowest score and was on the

honor roll in 1 semeser!!!

But I’m curious…. ANY SAT IIs?
