Brown 2014 - ED applicants

<p>Nah, she’s from India.</p>

<p>Why do I always feel the urge to answer that particular question for you, tetris?</p>

<p>Haha, I don’t know. But yes, I’m from India. I just like being creative with my location.</p>

<p>Yeah, and the creative with locations trend was totally started by me.</p>

<p>Yes, I’ll give you that one.</p>

<p>Another class of '14 hopeful here :slight_smile: haven’t decided yet whether or not to do ED, Brown is definitely my #1 but I want to give myself as much time as possible to get my essays perfect! :slight_smile: I’m visiting the campus next month, and I’m really excited about that!
And I’m super glad there’s a whole bunch of Brown-freaks here, not just me ;)</p>

<p>Please people, Aap log aisa baat karnaa chaahate hain to FaceBook, or chatrooms hain naa…</p>

<p>Hey people, is NO ONE scared that brown has, like 6000 undergrads? Im so frikkin worried…</p>

<p>Arrey, tum Hindustani ho ya kya? Nepali?</p>

<p>No, I think the size is pretty perfect!</p>

<p>Ahhh Brown. Can’t wait for November 1st and then ~December 15th!</p>

<p>CLEAR! okay. i think i may have just saved this thread by jumpstarting it :)</p>

<p>Submitted your app?</p>

<p>tetrisfan, your location made me giggle :)</p>

<p>Anyone got their application in yet?</p>

<p>Lol. Have you read the book? I really liked it!</p>

<p>No, app’s not in yet. I’ll submit it around October 15th.</p>

<p>I read it a couple of years ago and loved it :slight_smile: Have you read the author’s memoir, Lucky? It’s really good, in a kind of disturbing way.</p>

<p>My friend was just telling me that! I’m borrowing it from her tomorrow :)</p>

<p>I loved Lucky! It made me kind of sad for a while though.</p>

<p>Sorry to crash, but I have a couple of quick questions:
Firstly, are you supposed to elaborate on all of your academic interests in the academic fields essay? Within 1000 characters?
Second, how long are you people’s Why Brown essays? (tetris, I know you’ve told me before, but I forget. Sorry. :frowning: )
Is anyone doing the “What don’t you know” topic?</p>

<p>I’m only elaborating on my primary academic interest. Either way, my EC short answer is on MUN, and I’ve listed IR as my secondary academic interest.</p>

<p>1000 characters - you can’t exceed the limit, not even by one measly character!</p>

<p>Nope, I’m doing topic A (last year’s topic).</p>

<p>I’m just writing about my primary academic interest too; although I did list a 2nd choice on my app.
I almost did the “what don’t you know” topic - I made a page of notes to brainstorm from for each topic and thought that that was a really interesting question, but I ended up writing a first draft for the advice topic that I rather liked, so I think I’m just going to refine that.</p>

<p>So are you doing ED for sure?</p>

<p>I am :slight_smile: I figure, at this point it can only help if Brown knows how much I <3 them! Haha!</p>
