<p>I love that I’m in the countdown disclaimer hahaa.
Anyways, I’ve decided I’m not going to start any applications till I get my Brown decision. That way I won’t work on them half-heartedly while pining for my shiny acceptance letter. If I get rejected I will lock myself up in my room for the first bit of winter break and will be working hard because my future depends on it.</p>
<p>And that is the rationale of mynameisrose.</p>
<p>But at the same time, it’d be nice if it was on a Friday or something so I could hide out in my room for the weekend if I don’t get in as opposed to sulking around school for the whole week. Oh well.</p>
<p>that makes a lot of sense because right now i cant force myself to actually put effort into any apps, im def not sending any before i find out but im gonna try to make myself do most of them</p>
<p>and my interviewer had no info on me like no paper in front of her and she didnt say anything about my app… is that weird?</p>
<p>Haha, no. I don’t know how to link it, but from last week there’s a thread about Brown Interview FAQ and Answers. The interviewers only know our names and where we’re from. my interviewer asked to see my resume so that she could take notes during the whole thing. They don’t know about your grades, scores, or even what your essays are about.</p>
<p>ohh okay thanks i just got nervous when some1 said the interviewer told them admissions thought they were RD so it made me think they had their app or something</p>
<p>thats scary my interviewer was really laid back and was like im sorry i have to ask you these questions theyre a formality lol</p>
<p>you better call admissions smileelv. and thanks guys for the reply. but i am going to have to start working on my apps early cuz i have 20 colleges and then scholarship stuff so…but you guys told people you were applying ed? the only people i told was obviously my parents and guidance counselor, and then like 5 of my friends… i just dont want to be embarrassed…</p>
<p>I told two of my friends… but somehow the word got around and now everyone who knows my face knows… Urggg… It’s gonna be a difficult week if I don’t get in cuz everyone’s gonna ask me if I got in or not. Yea, Adeyadi, I also think I should call admissions just to make sure. The interviewer told me they recognized I was ED not RD, but just to make sure everything is ok…</p>
<p>I told people as well. I originally considered not telling anyone in case in got rejected, but then I realized that regardless of whether or not I get in, my friends will be supportive. They’re not going to think any less of me if I don’t get in…
And plus, I talk about Brown way too much to avoid the questioning. I don’t go parading around saying that I applied ED, but if someone asks me straight up I’m not going to lie. It’s kind of silly, in my opinion.</p>
<p>haha!!! i understand rose. it is just that people in my school would put you on this pedestal and then would talk you down if i dont get in. i know. alot of my past friends experienced it…</p>
<p>Mine hasn’t changed…but then again, I didn’t apply for financial aid. So I don’t know. My GC is also calling the school in a few days I think, so maybe it’ll change then.</p>
<p>Yes, but those two tabs were added on my account weeks ago, and the same for a number of others in this thread. Don’t read too much into it, as it means virtually nothing, haha. =]</p>
<p>I don’t know. It’s the policy of my school to call every Early Decision school. I know they had to make appointments and such a while ago. I don’t think it really makes a difference, they just check and make sure things are being processed.</p>
<p>It’s so much more real now that there’s a date. Also I wonder if Brown calls the school of every applicant they plan to accept or defer because I don’t think my school has been called :/</p>
