Brown 2015 ED Pledge

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Decisions in 3 weeks! An Early Decision results thread should come out soon, so let’s pledge to post our results. </p>

<p>Result threads usually have the accepted students posting their stats and the rejected students either not posting or just posting “rejected, here comes community college.” This does not help the rising seniors who want to know their “chances.” So pledge to post your stats/admission result regardless of the actual decision (accepted, deferred, rejected). Good luck Brown ED’ers!</p>

<p>I want to but I’m afraid I’m going to be too upset if/when I get deferred or rejected lol.</p>

7

<p>^^realize that most of us are going to get deferred, so it’s not a big deal. Just write out your stats beforehand and click enter when ready.</p>

8

<p>Thanks, guys! Even though I didn’t apply ED this year (doing RD), this will be helpful even for us RDers haha though our chances will be significantly lower</p>

<p>“realize that most of us are going to get deferred, so it’s not a big deal”
Just because most of us are getting deferred doesn’t mean it isn’t a big deal. Where I go to college is one of the biggest decisions I’ll make in my life for the next few years.</p>

<p>I’ll post anyway though! :D</p>

10

<p>Yay, I didn’t mean to deflate the importance; it is important, but I think that it is also important to inform the next generation of ED’ers with a results thread.

<p>I’m pretty sure RainbowSprinkes didn’t apply ED. Lovin’ the name btw… rainbows represent!</p>

12

<p>^yup, I’m doing RD (probably sending in my app early next month)
lol rainbows represent is right! </p>

<p>Just a quick comment: totally agree with the OP of this thread-most CCers who post on RD/ED threads got accepted and the ones who didn’t just post “■■■” or “rejected”, without posting a full profile. It’ll be helpful for future applicants to see profiles of those who were accepted, rejected, deferred, or waitlisted!</p>

13

<p>another comment: Does anyone else think that most CCers have better-than-average stats, ECs, etc. - just overall a stronger application? It seems like most people on here are pretty amazing hahaha, but it annoys me when people complain about 790s.</p>

14

<p>yes, CCers do have better-than-average stats, but those who don’t have “better-than-average” stats get rejected more often. RainbowSprinkles, I put your name up there so you could post RD. I’m not going to hunt down those on this list, so it doesn’t really matter.</p>

15

<p>I’ll pledge RD. I’m really nervous, hopefully I can write my essay and why brown statement to make my application stand out</p>

16

<p>haha that’s fine, I’ll post RD, even though I’m not expecting much. Question: who is applying to PLME? (: and another quick question: why do YOU want to go to Brown? I know why I do, why do YOU?</p>
