<p>@CallMeDuke</p>
<p>For any other school, I’d say my art stuff (national level awards, sent portfolio, etc.), but I’m guessing a lot of artsy type kids apply to Brown, so it’s probably not as impressive.</p>
<p>@Callme, I guess my Hafiz background, I never went to any school and was sent to memorize the Quran. This kinda caused me to have not so stellar grades and test scores in high school but my rigor was pretty up there (17 AP courses by the end of my high school career).</p>
<p>@CallMeDukeUni i think that my most unique part is my diving. not underwater but like into a pool. I have been doing it for a while and the theme of fearlessness is at the core of my app. most of my essays and stuff relate back to that. Its just something i think most people do not do. also my dedication to this charity i do. the charity gets its money fro sponsors who pay money for people to swim great distances to raise money for cancer. I brought the charity to my local pool where kids could participate because the open water swim was too daunting for them. And my brown interviewer is also a big part of it and was happy to see me do something he does. this is on top of a bunch of other typical ECs other people have. i am, however the person with a 30 ACT and 2020 SAT, so i know I’m getting deferred. I took the SAT saturday and may have gotten in the 2100s, fingers crossed, so i can get in regular.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone! Only 48 hour left! Remember, no matter what happens, we are all smart, intelligent, and AWESOME. All of us!! Congrats on applying! Best wishes!</p>
<p>48 hour mark! I think once we hit 24 hours im going to steer clear of this website i will get too anxious haha</p>
<p>this might sound crazy, but I think i’m going to wait for the envelope in the mail…</p>
<p>LOL peppermint why??</p>
<p>snail mail is too unpredictable though, peppermint</p>
<p>your mailman could lose your letter or deliver it way too late. :(</p>
<p>What’s up everyone, Brown '15 here. Just wanted to check in and wish you guys the best of luck with however your college process turns out. </p>
<p>I know that it’s somewhat cliche, but everything related to it really does turn out all right in the end–it can just be kind of hard to see in the moment. Three years ago now I was rejected by Stanford EA and was pretty upset about it, and I similarly had a bunch of rejections during RD, but the process honestly couldn’t have worked out better because I really love it here. And even if Brown ends up being your Stanford, and you end up going to school somewhere else, it’s very likely that you too will come to love that school so long as you keep pressing ahead and you don’t lose faith in your abilities.</p>
<p>So, with that said, keep your heads up! There are good things ahead for you, whether at Brown or not, and I honestly wish you all the best!</p>
<p>pepper: my alma mater only sends a letter to rejectees who have not checked their online portal about a week later. Then what do you do? It’ll be almost deadline time for your other apps…</p>
<p>You likely will have a long wait for an actual letter. Your plan is fraught with holes.</p>
<p>I’m going to vomit oh my god oh my god</p>

Thank you for your kind words! I applied RD, but I am learning a great deal from the wonderful people in this conversation. :)</p>
<p>thursday at 5 is honestly all i can think about and i don’t know how i’m going to get through the next two days… how are you guys dealing with the wait?</p>
<p>guys, what is the proper way to respond when the elitist/cliquey/snobby brats at your school diss your favorite college? 
</p>
<p>Seriously all I can do is shop. It’s the only thing that comforts me. And run.</p>
<p>I honestly can think of nothing else and am counting down the hours… I have so many tests and homework assignments this week as it is a testing week, but I can’t focus at all… Staying up late, waking up early… It’s a huge issue! Becoming even more coffee dependent than I already was! The joys…</p>

<p>Thanks dodgersmom <3</p>
<p>24 more hours until errythang changes :p</p>
<p>Guess what I’m doing for the next 24 hours. Nothing really. Oh wait, that’s right. I have an exam tomorrow. And the day after. And I’m getting my letter at 3am on Friday. Did I mention that it will be the 13th too?
No worries. We’ll survive. Hahaha.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh… .this anticipation I really can’t stand it</p>
