<p>schmincke, I KNOW it’s tempting, but I wouldn’t do that. Whether the results are good or bad, you seriously just won’t be able to focus for the rest of class lol. Try to read your decision around people you trust, people who can support you no matter how things go. GOOD LUCK TO YA!! :)</p>
<p>arggghhh ok by the time I get home, there will most likely be a million new posts on the Brown results thread LOL
If only I live on the east coast :p</p>
<p>So where are all y’alls’ second choices, if Brown doesn’t work out? Wellesley and Vassar are tied for second for me. I like them for the same reasons I like Brown, but there’s something about Brown that I just love the most!</p>
<p>Swarthmore, Williams, Amherst, Dartmouth, Vassar, University of Southern Idaho, Columbia, UPenn, in no particular order.</p>
<p>UChicago is tied for first with Brown; I know UChicago’s Core Curriculum/culture is basically the exact opposite of Brown’s Open Curriculum/culture, but I like both schools for different reasons. </p>
<p>After that, I have no other schools in mind. Applying for my EA colleges has exhausted me so much that I can’t even think about more colleges right now.</p>
<p>For all of you having major anxiety from all of this waiting: listen to “Forever” by Haim. I guarantee that you will be dancing around feeling a bit less stressed out after just 30 seconds of the song. </p>
<p>On a different note, anyone else select Education Studies as their first choice for concentration? Seems to be a fairly unpopular concentration at Brown. I’m hoping that my interest in education along with my desire to hopefully double concentrate in Visual Arts add a little bonus unique twist to my application. Fingers crossed. Now if only I can survive the next three days until the 12th…</p>
<p>2 days, 19 hours, and 10 minutes, guys!</p>
<p>@lilzee, I didn’t apply to that, but I applied to Astronomy. I, too, hope it’s fairly small and therefore they recruit hard for it.</p>
<p>I just realized that I’ve been stalking the BlogDailyHerald all day . This can’t be healthy .</p>
<p>Should I be worried if I didn’t get an email?</p>
<p>@iphIPH It was just a generic email. If you can log on to the application status page and it shows your application info there I’m sure you are fine. But just in case, maybe you should call the admissions office tomorrow and confirm they have you under ED and not RD. Just in case.</p>
<p>I’m going to stay FAR FAAAAAAAAAR away from CC on D-Day. Maybe the day before too for good measure. I can’t bear the suspense. I’m going to go climb a mountain with my family or something instead.</p>
<p>It’s weird, the month actually passed really fast for me. I can’t even believe we’re so close to the decision.</p>
<p>I wish it said that on my application page. It does say I have everything in but it doesn’t specify between RD or ED.</p>
<p>I feel like the month overall passed really slowly, but this past week has been quick. It may have been due to the fact that I was out of town and quite preoccupied for the past few days, haha. But I have a sinking feeling that these next 48ish hours will be slow and tortuous .</p>
<p>not gonna lie the most brutal thing thus far has been getting that brochure/viewbook thing in the mail. i mean seriously i applied ed if you let me in i have to go, no point in trying to pitch yourself anymore. STOP TEASING ME YOU FOUL DEMONS!!!</p>
<p>If I get rejected, Im getting wasted. If I get accepted, Im still getting wasted. :)</p>
<p>If the applicants ecs are stronger than the applicants with higher test scores then they will get in. So lets say a student opened up his own successful business but got only a 30 act and then there was a kid who got perfect 36 but just played sports and did a couple clubs they would take the other guy. A university like brown wants students that they can brag about. Every university has good test takers.</p>
<p>oh my. the deadline’s coming soon. I can’t focus on work or stop checking this board. I’m so nervous. I have pretty great test scores, an average/subpar gpa, decent ECs but nothing extraordinary, and okay essays. I was so sure that I wasn’t going to get in, but darn’t, as the 12th approaches, the tiny glimmers of hope in my tummy start coming more and more frequently. Dat hope is gonna be da death of me when i get rejected/deferred. Sigh… best of luck to you all :)</p>
<p>What do you guys think is the most unique factor on your application?</p>
<p>@CallMe, my musical experience, I think. I have extensive awards and activities related to band (All-County, All-State, Tri-State) plus so much marching band stuff. I tried to market other parts of myself in my essays and statements, but band is really what came through with the extracurricular things. </p>
<p>On an unrelated note, I think if (when) I get rejected, the thing I’ll most be disappointed about is the waste of all this knowledge that I’ve amassed about Brown. Trawling through blog after blog has given me all of this trivial knowledge that will be absolutely useless if I don’t go. It’s gonna be like if I majored in biology but got a job fixing cars for the rest of my life.</p>
