Brown Class of 2017 RD!

<p>Thanks, unicameral2013!</p>

<p>Oh man this it, my app is in 0.0 now comes the grueling wait and constant email checking.</p>

<p>I applied to Brown as well…so many supplemental mini-essays! Did you guys do A, B, or C?</p>

<p>Hi guys! </p>

<p>Sent in my app about an hour ago. Really not expecting very much out of this whole process, but I can dream!</p>

<p>harvardhopeful, I did C</p>

<p>I wrote about my “love for literature.”</p>

<p>B. I talked about a shift of interest in politics, which is what I want to focus my studies on.</p>

<p>B. I talked about my pseudo-intellectual club I formed :P</p>

<p>Is it actually called the “pseudo intellectual club”? Because that is genius, and I would have totally joined if I went to your school</p>

<p>Yeah, well we mainly met and talked about whatever seemed relevant at the time… Again the “name” means it’s not really a club, but the name also is an oxy moron… We debate over the most random of things it’s great!</p>

<p>That’s awesome. I wish ppl at my school were chill</p>

<p>Lol there is probably <5% of my class that is “chill”… The rest either drop out , care too much about swag, or something else… I’m the only guy in my class applying to top 25’s</p>

<p>@IvyLeague2020 I interviewed for Yale and it was super casual. Just talked in a Starbucks for about an hour about everything from politics to astrophysics. Unfortunately, I got deferred SCEA from there, but I’m keeping hope alive.</p>

<p>I also interviewed for Harvard and that was a far different atmosphere. It was with an 86 year old urologist and was at his house. Nothing too stressful but definitely not as laid back as the Yale one was.</p>

<p>I interviewed for Georgetown EA. My interviewer was like a 55-year-old realtor and we met in the lobby of her swanky condo. It was nice enough and she seemed impressed with me, but I wouldn’t say it was laid back or that we “clicked”.</p>

<p>I’m with you in that one karatekid, I’m not going to get my hopes up too high, after all, they call it a reach for a reason. </p>

<p>Oh man, just the thought of interviewing scares me, I hope I can charm my interviewer over with my awkwardness</p>

<p>Guys honestly though…how much did the supplement drive you crazy. Totally unexpected for Brown to have such structured questions. And some questions I just didn’t like. Especially the community one was like…ugh.</p>

<p>^ Firstly, welcome my fellow nocturnal hahaha. I see I’m not the only one who browses CC this late. </p>

<p>Secondly, writing responses to the prompts wasn’t difficult for me; cutting down my responses to fit the character limits however, that’s a different story. If I didn’t love Brown so much, I swear I would have just given up and applied to UChicago where there is no limit.</p>

<p>Hey guys! I just applied to Brown, but it’s my very, very high reach school to put it generously. What are ya’ll interested in studying? :)</p>

<p>Hey guys! Am I the only one who thinks the wait will be forever?</p>

<p>I really liked Brown’s supplement, even though it was pretty lengthy; gave a good sense of who I was. Unfortunately, I completely messed up the academic essay for my intended CS major: “Include your full name, school, and birth date at the top of each page, and be sure to indicate the number corresponding to each question.” ← I basically ignored that sentence. Looks like no Brown for me! I am going to send the admissions office a revision to reflect those instructions on a whim, but I can’t say I expect it to be accepted.</p>

<p>I really hated Brown’s supplement. If they really wanted to know all this information about us, couldn’t they at least give us enough space to answer properly?</p>
