Brown Class of 2019 Early Decision Applicants

<p>I just had my interview a few hours ago via webcam! I think it went so great. It was pretty short, only half an hour. My interviewer was class of '11 so was still pretty up to date on the school. We mostly talked about EC’s, why Brown, and what I wanted to major in. She didn’t really give me any room for questions, but I didn’t really mind. She said I seemed really passionate and energetic and she hopes I’ll get in. Obviously she doesn’t hold a lot of power over whether or not I’m admitted but it was a really great interview!</p>

<p>@BSMDEager: Bruno14 tells you the limits of the interviewer vs. the college. The alum has NO idea what’s going on behind the scenes. None. Thus he tells your son about the likelihood of deferral – cuz statistically, that’s the truth. But there’s not set protocol of what to say – it’s all the conversation. However, I would advise interviewers NOT to say stuff like this:</p>

<p>“going to write a glowing recommendation letter and said the Son was one of the best interviews he has had in years”</p>

<p>"it will be great for Brown to have a child like you as it adds value to Brown "</p>

<p>They add needless confusion and anxiety and false expectation. I’m very polite and wish the student and parents well. But I’d not show any of my cards – even if I felt it was a great interview. The reality is I have ZERO idea how this kid is coming across to the admissions committee. 94% of them from my college eventually get rejected – so I leave on a positive note – but not overly so. To me, it seems like a key to disappointment.</p>

<p>Like the students, I wait for decisions and celebrate w/those who do get admitted and try to get them to matriculate at the admitted students functions. I never try to predict – it’s a useless exercise.</p>

<p>Minimum about two weeks left until decisions. I’ve remained relatively calm until now, but as the date gets closer, I’m growing increasingly anxious about the fact that the decision for how I will spend my next four years is coming out soon. I’m sure all of us here are matched in passion and love for Brown and I hope the best for all of you and myself. I’m trying not to think about decisions, but sometimes it’ll just hit me and remind me that I have such and such time left. Anyways let’s all wish for the best since we’ve done all we can do at this point! Hopefully, a lot of us here on this thread will have good results to share.</p>

<p>Same, it was far away enough but now that it’s close I’m really freaking out D: . I guess all we can do is stay hopeful. Happy Thanksgiving to all! </p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving guys! Almost there~</p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am really freaking out now. Food will help.</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>When I click on the “Application Menu” after signing in, it says, “Processed Applications.” Underneath this banner it says “Fall 2015” which I can click on to view doc status. Obviously, it still says that “Admission decisions are currently not available.” </p>

<p>My question is, does anyone else’s say “Processed Applications?” I don’t recall seeing this earlier, but then again, I have a bad memory XD. </p>

<p>You mean the words in red? I think those have always been there. I mean I hadn’t noticed it before, but it doesn’t seem like something they would spend time to change. </p>

<p>@Tman1005‌ Mine doesn’t say that </p>

<p>@whats9plus10 what does yours say then? </p>

<p>@Anduar3 Yeah, I don’t recall seeing them, but I doubt they changed anything</p>

<p>my interviewer added me on facebook and i think he went through my pictures / posts xD
he just messaged me commenting on my new haircut etc lol</p>

<p>cant wait until mid december though</p>

<p>@Dildil- I’m applying PLME ED (I want to go into neuroscience) </p>

<p>I’m dying! I can’t wait until the decisions come out… Two weeks seems like such a long time… :(( </p>

<p>Has anyone done Summer @Brown/Knows if that impacts the decision? </p>

<p>@Ktb4864 In general, paid summer programs have very little impact, but if it gives you something to write about, it can be more useful. </p>

<p>@Ktb4864‌ oops it does say that. I think I was looking in the wrong place</p>

<p>@whats9plus10 lol I got excited, feels like we’re all looking for any piece of symbolism in the application. This feels so helpless, not knowing anything :(( </p>

<p>Less than 2 weeks… Oh jeez, and I should probably do more work on other apps</p>

<p>INTERVIEW TOMORROW OH DEAR.</p>
