<p>^ i second you, schmincke! lets have a bacon fest :)</p>
<p>i think i’ve started to romanticize the college experience as the brown experience… when i think of my next four years, i think of providence, cold weather, open curriculum, etc. (i live in socal now!) and not much else. it’s insane, though, considering about 90% of applicants are rejected (that sounds much worse than 10% accepted!) and the worst part is i made the mistake of telling a few friends that i applied early, and now it seems like everyone knows. so if i get rejected, that will be poopy…</p>
<p>last night i had a dream i got in and i woke up and i was so sad lol.</p>
<p>I know what you mean about having dreams, konakoffee.</p>
<p>My latest nightmare was about getting accepted into Duke because in my dream the school was HELLA creepy with very narrow dark halls and weird classrooms. I dreamt that I went into the bathroom, which was also dark and ominous looking, and there was a little girl crouching in a corner. When I approached her, she turned around to me and projectile vomited into my face Exorcist-style. Needless to say, I was pretty shaken when I woke up.</p>
<p>@Kiwi: I wouldn’t consider myself HYP standard, but I’ll likely apply to Yale if I don’t get in. </p>
<p>Question: do you think schools consider you in comparison with other previous applicants? For example, all from my school who’ve gone to a certain top college had really low scores, so would I have a greater chance of looking good? Or would it be inconsequential?</p>
<p>@kiwi I probably have no chance, but I’m applying to HY anyway. Cause you never know, right? I’m still keeping my expectations realistic though.</p>
<p>@schminke I’m with you. I may also add some chocolate to my consolatory meal.</p>
<p>@kona and schminke Me third! I keep trying to squash my daydreams, but nooooo. My brain decides daydreaming about Brown is HEALTHY for me. When, in reality, it’s going to kill me on decision day.</p>
<p>@kona I’d actually much rather get rejected right away. I can’t stand waiting a few more months hoping Brown would accept me. I’d rather move on to other colleges, knowing that Brown already rejected me and that I have no chance. But then again, if I get deferred, I’ll probably try to convince myself that Brown already rejected me and tell myself that there is a 0.0001% deferred to acceptance rate or something.</p>
<p>I just realized that the results are out for me on Friday the 13th. Haha!</p>
<p>Oh goodness gracious I am by no means HYPS, although I will be applying to Harvard and Yale.</p>
<p>My birthday is on the 15th, so I’m either going to have a truly fantastic birthday or a grumpy one. If only I could blow out the candles and wish before the decision comes, I might swing the stars in my favor. xD</p>
<p>@iph You mean you only got a 34? Yikes. Retake it for sure! But if you choose not to, it’s okay. I’m sure there are some community colleges out there that would accept you somehow. There is hope.</p>
<p>Hi guys! I applied ED and I am anxiously awaiting results like the rest of you. I was wondering if anyone wanted to give me some feedback on my chances of an acceptance letter…</p>
<p>I’m African American & a female. I have a 4.3, 2110 SAT. I’m in 5 AP classes (AP Lit, AP Calc BC, AP Gov, AP Bio, AP Psych and also two creative writing classes required by my speciality program). I’m captain (have been for 2 years) of my varsity dance team, National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, treasurer of my school’s Norsemen Community Service Club, Key Club member. I attended the National Student Leadership Conference, I’m on the National Youth Salute Committee. I work at a local teacher store & I also babysit. My first quarter grades that I sent to brown were straight A’s. I think my teacher recommendations were relatively strong, I am loved by one of the teachers and pretty well liked by the other. I was wondering if my stats match up with any of you guys’? Am I totally dreaming here and out of my league or do I possibly have a shot? Please reply with your feedback and don’t be afraid to be honest. I wish you all the best of luck & sincerely hope you guys are all accepted :)) DECEMBER 12TH WOO!</p>
<p>@schmincke I’m 95% sure iph was being sarcastic. Haha. After all, his/her post is right underneath hypotheque’s post about us Brown-applicants not being so stats-obsessed :)</p>
lol.</p>
