<p>^ Is it a bad thing for me if they didn’t contact about third quarter grades?</p>
<p>No. That’s normal and neutral. It could mean you got in without them needing your recent grades (like most acceptees), or it could mean you got rejected without them needing your recent grades (like most rejectees). It means nothing.</p>
<p>^ Alright, thanks. :)</p>
<p>Gotta say, I’m officially dying. Why can’t it just be April 1 already?! I just want to knooow! I know I’m going to see rejections at at least some places, but I’m really getting nervous about seeing them across the board. 
This year is brutal. Ungh!</p>
<p>Sigh… this year does seem absurdly brutal. The MIT decisions thread is atrocious!</p>
<p>just looked at the MIT Forum. MIT had 17,000 applicants?! Brown received over 30,000?!! How much harder is it for Brown then! scared into bajeebers</p>
<p>Well, Brown has more spots to offer applicants than MIT’s 1600. But either way, both their admissions rates are <10%. Hopefully it won’t be as awful! <em>Prays</em></p>
<p>I just want to know so bad. I really don’t want to open my internet that Thursday to see a rejection notice, I want to get into Brown so bad! I’m on spring break and I’m going crazy waiting!!!</p>
<p>haha oh man, tell me about it privera. This has got to be the absolute worst time to have spring break- no school or anything to keep me constantly occupied, so every time im out doing something, the realization that decisions come out soon pops into my head…i wish i could just know already =P</p>
<p>each time I remember I tell myself “Why not?” e v e r y t h i n g - i s - p o s s i b l e!</p>
<p>^such optimism! Im impressed 
mybe some of it can rub off on my overly pessimistic defeatist self :D</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I was a victim of MIT’s massacre this year, and trust me, it was not pretty.</p>
<p>^what happened? :)</p>
<p>I’m 3 hours into my spring break, and I’ve already gotten emails from half the colleges I applied to reminding me about April 1 and my impending nervous breakdown. Fun.</p>
<p>less than a week left… soooooooooooooooo nervous!</p>
<p>meeeeeeee tooooooooo… i applied for RD PLME… but i’m not sure if i’ll get in with my stats kinda low… i reaaaaaaallllly want to go though…but if not PLME… i still have my fingers crossed for Georgetown!!</p>
<p>The MIT forum was utter chaos. MIT was my first choice and I was deferred then rejected. There was no visible trend whatsoever with decisions. Amazing applicants, and when I say amazing, I really mean it- 2400/36/4.0/some kind of hook/research, were getting rejected and it seemed like people were getting in at random. There were a lot of crazy rants about AA and how obscure life experiences are the only way to get in, etc… It was insane.</p>
<p>Really? People were ****ed about AA? That’s shocking. :P</p>
<p>Can’t say I blame them too much. AA discriminates on the basis of ethnicity/skin color instead of what it SHOULD focus on - socioeconomic status. But anyway, that’s another story.</p>
<p>Just wanted to say good luck to all! I never applied to Brown myself (though a lot of my friends did), but I remember how those last few weeks felt.</p>
<p>I experienced the MIT massacre myself…not fun</p>
<p>I applied to Brown PLME, so i’m crossing my fingers</p>
<p>Another PLME RD applicant here. I hope I get in, but getting into Brown itself seems hard enough, so doubt I’ll be accepted, especially since I was waitlisted at Northwestern & WashU St Louis.</p>
