<p>???</p>
<p>^why dont you try reading the website…more reliable than us dont you think</p>
<p>My friend is an admissions officer at Vassar and she told me it’s really annoying when students try to be overly creative with their essays and make it into a shape because it’s difficult to read. I wouldn’t recommend it and would spend time focusing on content rather than presentation.</p>
<p>excuse my asking but what is meant by “make into a shape”…does that mean forcing the essay into a certain mold? or making a physical shape out of the essay? like a ball…</p>
<p>Desmaius aka Stupefy, don’t you think that their website couldn’t be my first target?
obviously I wouldn’t have asked if I could found it in their website.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>^wt f is Desmaius?
I responded the way I did because that sort of stuff is the EASIEST thing to find on the website. took me like 30 seconds</p>

<p>@Seeme</p>
<p>I meant into a literal shape…kind of.
Haha, mine is kind of hard to explain without just showing people. And surely I wouldn’t want to do that :]</p>
<p>LOL at the carmen figuratum X_x. That must be difficult with rigid site formatting. I hope it doesn’t end up deformed or blobish!</p>
<p>Haha, Abcde…I’m really interested to see what it looks like and how you made it encompass an entire essay…</p>
<p>You should really try to elaborate. =]</p>
<p>thanks, the link is just what I wanted!</p>
<p>I just submitted my brown app, and weirdly enough, i got a confirmation email from commonapp for the payment and commonapp but NOT the supplement. strange…</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I am also applying regular decision to Brown. I am very nervous and excited probably like most of you all. I wanted to ask a question to everyone. Do you all think ACT scores are the final verdict on admission? I have a lot of leadership positions, community service, a high rank, and a 4.0 GPA unweighted. I also take plenty of AP classes and have scored 3s and 4s. My ACT scores are very low so I am very afraid of that. Please reply on what you think. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>^whats your ACT score? did you take the SAT?</p>
<p>Stupefy, check your CommonApp profile thingy in a couple of days, and if you see something like “Downloaded [insert date],” then you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I rather not say. It isn’t good at all, and yes, I took the SAT but only once because I thought It would be better for me to focus on the ACT.</p>
<p>I submitted my app last weekend and was totally fine, but now I’m FREAKING out. It just feels completely out of my control (which, sadly, it is). The more I work on the apps for other schools, the more I realize that Brown really is my top choice–I’m working on Cornell right now and the whole primary/alternate thing is confusing and dumb and the questions are no where near as interesting as Brown’s!</p>
<p>Why, WHY, can’t Brown have rolling admissions–I just want to know now!</p>
<p>Also, mailed in my art portfolio today–it was my only school that required hard copy prints, rather than an online submission or a cd. Old skoo.</p>

<p>^Brown does send out like 200 likely letters in feb/early march</p>
<p>@Stupefy.
I do hope you get into Brown, which – so the grapevine is saying – will be at 9 percent acceptance rate for the class of 2014.
I’ve written you a nice little note to you to put your mind at ease about Brown alumni employability, with a side bar about the much-chronicled Brown Mafia in publishing, media, and entertainment (and ignoring the Brown cadre at Goldman Sachs):

<p>^haha thanks for that</p>
<p>Just saying hello, all you wonderful Brownie wannabes. That was not supposed to sound derogatory at all.
I just love that Brown students can be called brownies.
And I am also a wannabe. I just couldn’t think of another word.</p>
