<p>Political science.</p>
<p>@laz1997 what major did you choose? Also why do you think they asked for the grades? Sorry for all the questions haha I don’t know anyone else that applied ED @Condensed711 radness! I applied for history, but I almost put poli sci!</p>
<p>they also called my school for grades.
do you guys know if the financial aid package is given with the acceptence? or after?</p>
<p>Someone before said they thought they asked for everyone’s grades but I’m not sure how it works. @Condensed711 - did they call for your first term grades?</p>
<p>Hey guys! Just joined. I was a questbridge match finalist, but was unfortunately not matched to the school. Brown has been my dream school now for forever, and I contacted them asking to apply ED and they are letting me! Just wanna say good luck to everyone! Can’t wait for Dec 11.</p>
<p>@runcupcakerun the following is from a blog by Brown Admissions (<a href=“http://blogs.brown.edu/admissions/2010/11/04/if-youve-applied-early-decision/):”>http://blogs.brown.edu/admissions/2010/11/04/if-youve-applied-early-decision/):</a></p>

I don’t know if you can answer this, but why does Brown call certain people’s guidance counselors to ask for progress reports? Why not everyone?</p>

Some schools automatically provide first quarter/marking period grades, and others do not. We read every application carefully and review many pieces of information when making admission decisions.</p>
<p>My daughter’s school sent in 1st quarter grades because we were notified that they had not received them.</p>
<p>Yeah, my school counselor told me that they don’t ask everyone, so I was mostly just wondering if that was true </p>
<p>Anyway, as admission director Miller mentioned on brown herald, “If we pull (recruited athletes) out, the admit rates for early and regular decision are very similar.” (<a href=“U. sees second-largest early decision pool - The Brown Daily Herald”>U. sees second-largest early decision pool - The Brown Daily Herald)</p>
<p>So let’s just put our hopes down… and wait another week. Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>@runcupcakerun I love history! So much in fact that I’m taking three history classes this year. :))
@lax1997, by my knowledge, no. If they did, my counselor may have handled that. </p>
<p>I’m curious to hear what everyone responds to @runcupcakerun’s question about prospective major. </p>
<p>I indicated Political Science and Spanish. </p>
<p>Visual art and education studies, here. :)</p>
<p>I put environmental science and political science, but I’m also interested in public health. Environmental science is definitely my passion though</p>
<p>I gladly put Economics and Math. Hoping to specially concentrate in “Applied Math: Economics.” Such a wonderful and successful program at Brown :D</p>
<p>1st Choice: History
2nd Choice: Philosophy</p>
<p>I put biology and psychology. </p>
<p>Math, followed by physics.</p>
<p>But at this point I’m really leaning more toward physics because of the career options and impact of research.</p>
<p>1st choice: Public Policy and American Institutions
2nd Choice: Modern Culture and Media</p>
<p>1st choice: Biochemistry
2nd choice: English</p>
<p>Also here’s a really interesting video about what happens after you click submit. It’s done by two Brown admissions officers, and it really gives some insight into what goes on. It is a bit lengthy, 22mins so watch it if you have the time. </p>

<p>@tman1005 I chose applied mathematics too… but my second choice is statistics. </p>
<p>@leahleah My first “choice” was economics, and the second was math. I actually didn’t put applied math, cause I really needed the math supplement to explain what I’m doing in with applied math and economics. I’m doing an independent study in Calculus Based-Economics right now, and the supplement let me talk a lot about that 
</p>
<p>They will probably consider me in the context of the prospective econ/social science majors, but who knows?</p>
