Brown Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

@xda Same here!

@xda @aryastarks same here too!

it is technically Dec. 7th now. Three more days to do! Best luck to everyone!

@xda I am the same. Anyone else?

wait just making sure, we check the results on our portal right?
where it says, admission results not available - this will change? Right?

@helpplss correct. That will happen at 5pm ET this Thursday.

I have a question. If someone is admitted with financial aid, will the aid package be provisional, since they are yet to have a look at our official tax returns and other papers? Or can we go with the assumption that the aid package will be final? If the aid package is provisional, and the person withdraws from all other schools, then he might find himself in trouble just in case the final aid package quoted by them changes.

The financial aid is an estimate and shouldn’t change much unless your financial situation changes.

Does anyone know how much pull, if any, music and art portfolios have?

@ruby21 I’m guessing it would only have pull if the music or art department thought it was ridiculously fantastic, or if you indicated on the application that you want to concentrate in one of those fields. I submitted an art portfolio and applied as an English/Art concentrator, so hopefully it helps! Otherwise, it could probably help as an extension of ECs!

Omg i can’t stand the waiting, I just want to know!!

@ffina23 Exactly! I cannot concentrate on my school work at all, and I have a project, a presentation, a lab report and three worksheets to due on Thursday. Three more days left.

And guys, I look through the post from previous years and I find out the decisions sometimes release at 12:00 p.m… Is it possible that they release the results earlier than 5p.m.?

Thanks! And good luck to everyone!

@barbaragordon I didn’t get a “not permitted” either. It’s probably not true, but I hope it is bc that means i would be in!

Stopping in from the Columbia thread to say good luck! All of us Columbia ED applicants also get our decisions on thursday, so we’ll keep you all in our thoughts :slight_smile: I’m applying to Brown RD if I don’t get into Columbia, I absolutely adore the school! Best of luck to you all!

@michigangirl2016 good luck!!

@michigangirl2016 good luck to you as well!

Good luck everyone!

Who all is excited? What are you all most nervous about? I just keep looking back at my application and seeing everything that I could’ve done better, but oh well. Am I alone on that feeling, or what!?

Hi, is everyone down with their interviews? I’m an international applicant and I will be having my interview in about 5-6 hours from now.

I also have that feeling, really excited about so nervous. I almost check my portal page and CC every hour, just to see if there is any updates. I guess I cannot concentrate on doing anything on Thursday. I really wish I could go to Brown for summer school last summer.

@clueless96 You have to prepare for why Brown. The other questions will differ from each interview. I’m also an international applicant. Good luck with your interview.
