<p>tetrisfan, that sounds godawful. what a terrible learning environment…
liberal arts ftw, most definitely!</p>
<p>I would like to be present in the committee room! who really says “NO” to the applications and who says that sweet “yes, you are admitted”!!!</p>
<p>EDIT: From Miami/Cuba!</p>
<p>i’m from long island too!!! it seems like there is alot of people from new york that is on this site…=)</p>
<p>I’m from Kansas. I hope living in a small town in the Midwest gives me some sort of an edge.</p>
<p>Adeyadi/other NY-ers - New Yorkers make up the second largest group at Brown. Number one, I believe, is Boston-area folk.</p>
<p>For your video of the day: A recap of facts we all already know, but isn’t it FUN to watch them in video form!?

<p>Long Island ftw!
I had my interview today, i think it went pretty well. I didnt ask about when decisions go up, though in retrospect i should have!
so there’s like no definite date that the decisions come out? like anywhere from the 11th to 15th is possible?</p>
<p>@mynameisrose: I know! It’s quite pathetic, really…I actually make an effort to understand the principles behind various phenomena (in, say, physics) while others just memorize the root causes of the phenomena, spill out a few words and the accompanying derivations/diagrams during the exams, and walk out none the wiser. </p>
<p>(Yeah, I CAN’T BLOODY WAIT TO GET OUT!!!)</p>
<p>My name is Delano from North Carolina planning to be part of the great Class of 2014 at Brown! Major: English Minor: French Studies </p>
<p>I hope I get it! GOSH Brown is my place! I would have applied ED but I had not taken my SAT Subject Tests yet. I’m so scare because you never know with admissions. I hope everyone up here get in! Ruth Simmons, if you reading this GET US IN! LOL</p>
<p>Welcome, Delano!</p>
<p>Hi! Thanks</p>
<p>So…what’s everybody reading right now?</p>
<p>The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The film coming out and I like to read books before the film comes out and compare them. You know what grinds my gears! Twilight! It’s a bad book and the movies are bad but I have no idea why I am still seeing them. The author can not write and the characters are terrible and whiny! It’s not even a soap opera! The story, what story! they are terribel!</p>
<p>YES YES YES! Twilight is rubbish. You know, when I was 13, I was a part of the whole fad. I read the first novel and was all “ZOMG Edwardddddddd.” But then, when I read the second and third novels, I started realizing what utter crap it all was. I read Breaking Dawn just because I hate leaving a series hanging (annnd because I needed to argue with all the Edward obsessives in my class :p). But yes, it’s mucho terrible (I clearly know no Spanish). I haven’t seen either of the movies, though, and I absolutely don’t intend to do so in the future. And seriously, how is Robert Pattinson considered cute!? <em>confused look</em></p>
<p>I’m not reading anything literary right now; I have finals. However, I’m binging on comics - the ULTIMATE guilty pleasure :D. xkcd is my all-time favorite, followed closely by Calvin & Hobbes. Right now, I’m devouring all the Pearls Before Swine collections which my local bookstore had (5 books filled with panels of snarky heaven :p).</p>
<p>The story for Breaking Dawn is kind of perverted! lol <em>spoiler</em> Jacob imprints on Bella and Edward’s baby that ages fast! Twilight has nothing on Harry Potter I think, the movies are great and the books have interesting stories [and no I am not applying to Brown because of Emma Watson!]</p>
<p>I love comics like Watchmen. You know graphic novels.</p>
<p>Haha I have read Breaking Dawn, so I’m versed with the weird-ass story (:p). But yeah, gotta give HP credit for being the infinitely better fantasy series.</p>
<p>Never really given graphic novels a shot. Perhaps I should try them out in the long interim between school and college.</p>

<p>@Adeyadi ahh! long island twinsies! Watch we go to the same school and don’t even know it~!</p>
<p>@tetrisfan Same thing, I read the books and I was young and dumb and finally I had a realization that this was a freaking creepy book, and robert pattinson is so fug, he has such a flat face. and kristen stew sounds like a man. everyone is freaking over new moon, people were absent from school because they went to the midnight prem. The Vatican even released a statement about how horrible the books are and saying they’re a “moral vacuum with a deviant message”</p>
<p>Ew, I can’t stand Twilight. I’ve had MANY heated arguments about it.
lovesbrownu - you can’t minor at Brown, just so you know.
