Brown Class of 2017 RD!

<p>I liked the Stanford supplement. The top part especially, where it asked about favorite books, events, blah, blah, blah</p>

<p>Ealdi: I’m also a Williams applicant! And uchicago btw</p>

<p>Haha, what guys did you put for something that you wish you could do w/o the risk of failure?</p>

<p>I chose the “I felt I truly belonged when…” one</p>

<p>I did not want to be generic so I put the ability to understand 100% of “Ulysses” by James Joyce…I tried reading it once and my god that thing is dense…</p>

<p>Do you guys think I made a mistake by not putting something along the lines of “solving world hunger” ?</p>

<p>@lukelev07:</p>

<p>I think it shows your intellect, and is original as well.</p>

<p>@lukelev07 - I hope you’re not serious. I think your answer is exactly what they’re looking for, while solving world hunger is sort of a beauty-queen answer. At least, that’d be my thought process if I were an admissions officer.</p>

<p>Omg haha, I went really simple. Literally said I would clean my room because every attempt I have made this far is sub par to my mothers idea of clean!</p>

<p>Haha. I like these so far. I think (not that my opinion is particularly valid or not) what they’re looking for is a candid answer. Haha and I doubt anybody’s candid answer is something so vague as ‘curing world hunger.’</p>

<p>@lukelev, I’ve never actually thought about that before today. But I really agree with you. That thing is quite packed.</p>

<p>I think I said something about wanting to kiss the Kaaba in Mecca</p>

<p>I received an email for alumni interview! Anyone?</p>

<p>Thanks guys I thought Brown might think I am too specific, but it’s just what’s been on my list of things to accomplish …</p>

<p>I like the clean room idea! It’s original and personalized, something they’ll look for !</p>

<p>I just received an email for alum interview!! SO Nervous!</p>

<p>In retrospect I could have been more creative with my answer for the “if I could do anything…” question but I just took it at face value and said I’d pass my driver’s license test. </p>

<p>Iboss and shontaya, what state are you guys in?</p>

<p>@ivyvision I’m an international applicant!</p>

<p>ooo and i guess iboss is from thailand. international as well!</p>

<p>West coast needs interview love too !</p>

<p>@ivyvision
I’m an international, so I was really surprised to get an offer!</p>

<p>@shontaya
best of luck on your interviews!</p>

<p>@lukelev07
Interview offers are random so if you don’t get one, don’t worry! :)</p>

<p>When is the latest they’ll let us know for interviews?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>My son had his interview by phone only a few days before the final ED deadline. I don’t recall exactly when that was, but it could well have been in March.</p>

<p>In any case, relax and don’t worry about it – if no one manages to get back to you in time, it won’t be held against you.</p>

<p>People are already getting interviews?</p>

<p>I haven’t even received my online login info yet. O.o</p>

<p>Am I the only one?</p>
