I want to go to brown, i'm only a freshman but i reallyy have my heart set on it, the only thing is i suck at math, i don't like to study it either. I hate math so i'm afraid if i keep having a b,that Brown wont take me, thats my only b but like i said, i have my heart set. I'm also in swimming so i don't have the time to do any other extra curricular activites since i leave the school every day seventh period to swim so... i have a feeling brown wont take me since i go to a public school, have a b in one class and i'm not in any extra curricular activities, but i am only a freshman, do you think they would?? and also, should i be doing stuff now to give me a better chance of getting in??
if its only your freshman year getting a B really isnt anything to worry about. Schools look mostly at your junior year and maybe by then you'll have a better math teacher and bring that grade up to an A. Schools look at trends so even if you got a C freshman year and then a B sophomore year and an A junior year, you'd still have a pretty good chance of getting in.
Schools also look at if you've done community service and extra curriculars or if you were in any clubs. Good attendance is also a plus because it shows dedication. They also look at jobs or anything you might have done that shows responsibility or leadership. I really dont think you need to start worrying about it yet, but its just some stuff to think about.
