Brown Class of 2018 Early Decision Applicants

<p>Mine is 91. I submitted my app pretty close to the deadline but I don’t think this number holds any significance.</p>

<p>It probably has to do with similar names- mine has no numbers. I’m assuming it has to do with prior applicants’s names and whether your name would clash with theirs. Two John Smiths apply, meaning JSmith and JSmith2 would be given out.</p>

<p>W00t. I’m the 70th person with the initials E.S. to apply. (Oh how will I ever get in…)</p>

<p>And now we wait.</p>

<p><em>hyperventilates</em></p>

<p><em>rolls on ground and cries in agony</em> </p>

<p>I don’t want to wait any moreeeee</p>

<p>Is the date really December 12? My interviewer told me it was December 15.</p>

<p>I’d much rather it be the fifteenth, then I wouldn’t need to be at school (and Jesus will be on my side as it’s a Sunday)</p>

<p>As much as I want to find out the results right away, I do kinda of wish they picked a day other than the 12th. That’s the day of my school band’s Christmas concert, so I’ll be playing Christmas music when the decisions come out! I’ll have to wait until I get home around 9 PM to find out results. :^(</p>

<p>The results come out right in the middle of my exam week…</p>

<p>For me, the results are coming out on Friday morning, so the decision is going to either put me in a good or bad mood for the rest of the day.</p>

<p>Am I the only one who keeps being super pessimistic and thinking there’s no chance I’ll get accepted? I mean, I was pretty optimistic at first and thought I MIGHT get accepted this round or the RD round, but I feel like I’m going to get just plain out rejected ED. Haha. This waiting is fun.</p>

<p>@dancingwriter, I feel pretty much like that! My interviewer said that only a small number of people get outright rejected ED and most get deferred, which I found pretty comforting. Most of those deferrals end in rejection but, hey, it’s another few months of hope and probably a few acceptances from other schools in the mean time to lift your spirits.</p>

<p>Oh goodness I didn’t even realize decisions were about to come out until a kid at my school said “Poison Ivy Week” is next week (aka Ivy League decision week). The wait went by so fast until now.</p>

<p>@kiwis-- A lot of people will probably post stats on the results thread later. If you want to know where you stand in the applicant pool, you can probably look at past results threads to get the gist of who is accepted.</p>

<p>Everyone take a nice deep breath because you’ve done all you can do and now we just wait.</p>

<p>Yeah. I totally should’ve looked for this discussion a month ago. Dammit.
<em>sigh</em>
Oh well.
I applied ED too. As an international student. And apparently, “Poison Ivy Week” coincides with exam week. Yayy me. ("- -)
.
Good luck everybody. May the odds be ever in your favour.</p>

<p>I’m nauseous. I was trying hard to deny how much I love Brown (in fear of not getting what I want-kind of lame, I know). I can’t deny it anymore. It’s such a dream. It’s beautiful. I really /expletive/ love this school, and that’s scary. Yet, that fear is good and important because OMG we don’t always get what we want, and that’s something that needs to be learned, especially by me.</p>

<p>I’ve been trying to deny my love of Brown and to convince myself that I’ll get a rejection, repeating stuff like, “Brown hates me and I hate Brown. No biggie.” Haha. It’s really bad, but it’s the only thing helping me to open up to other colleges (no luck in finding a school I love yet except Yale, which unfortunately, is even more selective than Brown. Figures.) and to not get too disappointed when I open up my decision letter online.</p>

<p>Can you guys imagine?! Our decisions may have already been made… Eek!</p>

<p>After I get my rejection letter, I’m going to eat loads of bacon :D</p>

<p>I’m going to make a huge blanket statement here and say that the reason we will be upset when we get rejected by Brown is because we are so smitten with the school that we visualize Brown in our heads whenever we think about college in general, ie what it’s like to take classes, meet people. So when we end up having to go to another school, we are forced to abandon our previous image of what college will be like? idk. For me, that’s the main reason :p</p>

<p>nuuuuu sorry I didn’t mean to! I swear!</p>

<p>after I typed and entered my post, the page refreshed and I saw your comment pop up</p>

<p>ok to answer your question, no I’m not at that level. I’m very very far from that level.</p>

<p>the distance would have to be measured in astronomical units</p>
