<p>I’m deciding between Brown ED and Yale EA. Decisions, decisions…</p>
<p>I was in that situation a few weeks ago. But after I visited the campuses, it became very clear that I liked Yale for mostly superficial reasons. Also, Yalies seemed a little too intense, if you get what I mean? The people at Brown were uber-active, no doubt, but were also very chill and seemed to be loving life.</p>
<p>Hey, random survey. How many guys do we have here, and how many girls?</p>
<p>tetrisfan: Girl!</p>
<p>chica chica!!!</p>
<p>girls: 2</p>
<p>guys: 0</p>
<p>I’m a girl.</p>
<p>Girls: 3
Guys: 0</p>
<p>Also, I agree that Yale’s atmosphere seems too competitive- I haven’t visited, but that’s what I’ve heard. Brown seems more relaxed, but with similar academic quality nonetheless.</p>
<p>Do people who aren’t applying to Brown ED count?</p>
<p>If so, make that a ratio of 4 to 0 :).</p>
<p>Oh, that’s a good point. If only EDers count, it’s 2 to 0 still, because I’m not applying ED either.</p>
<p>Yale wasn’t competitive in the cutthroat sense; it was more like the students were constantly trying to one-up what they’d accomplished the previous semester, either in terms of grades or extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I’ll be applying Early Decision, unless I fall in love with Swat and/or Amherst between now and October. </p>
<p>I’ll be applying for Swat’s Discovery Weekend and Amherst’s Open House Weekend. Both in September. </p>
<p>But I’d rather be at Brown so I’ll compare and contrast. </p>
<p>Oh, and 4-1 right (I’m a guy)</p>
<p>This school’s made a late surge onto my list. I wasn’t originally planning to apply anywhere much besides Penn State and Texas. Doubtful I’ll get in, but I might as well toss my hat in the ring. The ratio is now 4-2 
. I’m liking that 53 girls - 47 guys ratio too.</p>
<p>im a girl! and ABSOLUTELY applying brown ED so add me into the ratio :)</p>
<p>^Good luck :)! (to everyone who’s applying)</p>
<p>5-2. Girl power? :p</p>
<p>NO FAIR!!! I thought there is only one guy applying ED? Who’s the other one? Yay us two!!!</p>
<p>And yes, I love Brown. Too much sometimes. I imagine if Brown was a real place, it’d be a bear and I’d hug it. Brown Bear :)</p>
<p>I’ve woken up dreaming about getting accepted from Brown and finding out tears were rolling down my eyes in the morning lol.</p>
<p>I’ve had the opposite dream, where my parents told me that I could only apply to a state school (and not one I’m particularly interested in, though my parents want me to apply) and woke up near-crying.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Random fact: my mum won a giant teddy bear in a raffle once. It was the jackpot too, lol :)</p>
<p>Haha python :D</p>
<p>It was the weirdest dream, especially because my parents presented it as some amazing surprise. 
Also, the teddy bear thing is funny. I always wonder what people do with those when they win them at theme parks and the like…</p>
<p>i have one lol… i won it at a church fair last september…its currently sitting in my basement collecting dust</p>
<p>guys are seriously slacking</p>
<p>Brown’s minorly skewed female-male ratio is due to a majorly skewed female-male applicant ratio?</p>
