Glad I wasn’t the only one. It’s super stressful knowing that your decision might be all ready to be released. It’s just waiting on a computer somewhere or in a file cabinet right now with a stamp on it saying “Accepted,” “Rejected,” or “Deferred.” That’s the worst part, I think!
Good luck friend! I had mine a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely adored my interviewer. She was this polite lady that loved art (I do too), and we bonded over that for a solid 20 minutes before the interview even started! Just stay calm and remember that the person across from you is just another person! Best of luck!
Adding to @jacobpilawa 's point, I think Brown does a really good job to assign interviewer. I have had five interviews so far, but only the interviewer from Brown shares the same interests with me.
I’m insanely nervous, I’ll probably be sick on Thursday from nerves. I don’t know how I’m going to get through the school day… I’m from California so the decisions come out at 2:00 here, but I won’t be able to check until about 2:30. What are you guys doing to pass the time? I can’t believe it’s less than 3 days away now - I’ve been counting down to mid-December since, like, when last year’s ED decisions came out!
I’m the same way as you…it’s killing me! I probably won’t be able to think at all at school (I’m in Ohio, so 5:00 PM for me). I’m probably gonna go home, make a hot cup of coffee, and continue to refresh the page until something happens.
I’m most definitely not going to my 5th period on Thursday. I’m from Cali too @artblogger ! Most likely I’m going to get a smoothie and wait it out in the library with my friend just constantly refreshing the page lol.
@greentealover there’s no way I could check my decision with a friend or in public haha! I will be alone in my room when I check it, probably with my mom and my brother. I’m too scared of bursting into tears in front of anyone else (which I will inevitably do if I get deferred or rejected, sadly).
@artblogger haha I feel ya! Hopefully we all receive good news so that the the only tears are from joy. I’m 99% sure that when the time comes, I’m going to be too scared to actually click the link :’(
It will be 5:00 p.m. for me. I will finish school at 3:30 p.m., and it takes an hour to get back home. I guess I will fill in the information at result thread, since I’m not sure whether I can still keep calm to to write them down after I know the result. And once the result comes out, I just simply add in the result on the thread.
I’ll be in my free block with another Brown ED applicant. Thinking of leaving school and getting some food before I actually check it at 2 though haha
i don’t think any of these ways of checking if you got in things mean anything. brown creates a profile and data vault for each applicant and that automatically allows you access to these links. too many CC’ers including my D have been able to log in, check their profile, navigate through various pages. in either case, best of luck to all here.
I’m going to be in class as it’s 2 pm for me on the west coast, but with access to my laptop. should I do it in class or wait until afterwards in case I cry in front of everyone??? (honestly likely to burst into tears even if I get accepted…)
I live overseas so it’ll be my early Friday morning when decisions are posted and I’ll be at home getting ready for school. Whether I make it to school that day would depend on whether I get accepted or not.
ffina23, I don’t know how you would be able to wait even a second later than you have to, but just do what feels right when the time comes!
My best friend (who finds out about her ED school on Friday) and I have free last period on Thursday (I live on the East Coast so I’ll find out at 5), so we’re going to drive to the mall and go to Build-a-Bear and then go to Whole Foods and eat an insane amount of grapes (our favorite food). At least I’ll get a cute, cuddly stuffed animal no matter what! 
Best of luck to everyone; I can only imagine that all of you are as stressed and anxious as I am. Just remember that you are all beautiful, wonderful people, and any college or university (especially Brown) would be lucky to have such talented, interesting students like you! Sending much love everyone’s way…<3
i’m glad we are finding out on the 10th instead of the 15th because i can work on my other college apps starting this weekend once i get deferred.
Is it possible that the site will crash at 5pm due to the massive sea of people checking their decisions just like the college board site does whenever SAT scores come out?
Hey guys! I was wondering, did anyone else get an email from the Office of Admissions that said something along the lines of “Explore Humanities at Brown”? It was just a generic advertisement email, but there was a direct link to my intended major (Classics). It’s not weird to get college mail, but I’ve never received mail from Brown before, and obviously I’m already applying. Maybe I’m over analyzing it. Did anyone else get an email?
@gillianm27 Yeah, I got that email too! I applied as an English/Visual Art concentrator.
@gillianm27 I applied as a neuroscience major and I got an email regarding the science at Brown! I’m pretty sure its just a generic one though
Yea I got a science one too
