<p>I applied for a dual degree, one SCB and one AB</p>
<p>if Brown decides they dont want me for the SCB but do want me for the AB
will they still go ahead and let me attend, with only one degree?</p>
<p>thx

<p>No, I don't believe so. The separation between these application procedures is fairly imaginary. No one seems to know what you applied for once you are here. The separate processes are just ways for admissions to have an idea of what those who they are accepting will be doing here, as well as a way for applicants to emphasize their particular set of talents.</p>
<p>so even though the separation between the degrees is imaginary they will totally reject me if i don't qualify for the ScB?</p>

<p>I think what mgcsinc meant is that they won't accept you for the A.B. and not the Sc.B., but rather that Brown gives unqualified acceptances. If Brown accepts you, every program is open to you. In fact, even if you had only stated on your application that you wanted to get an A.B., but later decided that you wanted an Sc.B. too (or instead), you'd be able to do that.</p>
<p>Brown asks that question to get an idea of the kinds of students they're admitting. It might seem like you'd have an easier time getting into the A.B. program because you don't need another rec, or saying that you want to be a classics major instead of a chemistry major. But if your math and science test scores and grades are significantly higher than your humanities ones, the rec might be what you need to convince Brown that you aren't just a cookie-cutter chemistry geek. And Brown might be surprised that a future classics major wrote an essay about their participation on the science team and got mediocre grades in French or Latin.</p>
<p>lovely, What I am worried is just about my math grades, not my highest grades, SAT is alright but nothing spectacular. I am applying to be a comp sci major and I think that my comp sci rec is real strong</p>
<p>i suppose i just have to wait and see
