Brown Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

Thanks, @emedylinaira but i think i need more than luck…!

Tomorrow, everyone!!! We’re so close, we should be proud we waited so long haha! I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve literally been counting down since early decisions were released in 2014… And I’m hoping we all get great news tomorrow.

@clueless96 Same with me; I never saw the supplementary material I uploaded. I’m just trusting that it’s there! I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.

Hello everyone, I’m a Dartmouth ED applicant. Just wanted to stop and say hi to everyone here. I can only imagine how excited you all are on the final day before decisions. Our decisions come out on the 15th :slight_smile:
Good luck!

@gearsstudio Thank you so much! Good luck to you too! Hopefully we all join the Ivy League community!

Do you guys have accepted/deferred/rejected playlists ready for tomorrow? I do, haha :slight_smile:

@artblogger No! But I like that idea! I’ll make them tonight!

What are on each respective playlist?

@jacobpilawa
Accepted - Are you ready by AC/DC
Deferred - The waiting by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Rejected - The Thrill is Gone by BB King

highlights from my playlists:

accepted:

this is the life - two door cinema club
legend - drake
good times - jamie xx
campus - vampire weekend

deferred:

Anyone else playing Fallout 4 to get your mind away from all the anxiety?

@artblogger We have nearly the same music taste, geez. I love TDCC, Animal Collective, and The Strokes. Couple of my favorite bands!

@jacobpilawa https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t69UYgeFDvY my favorite animal collective song. perfect for when I get deferred haha.

@wifigirl @jacobpilawa I’ve never had any friends that like animal collective, but of course brown hopefuls do! This is exactly why I want to go to brown haha!

Does anyone know approximately what percentage of ED applicants will get deferred?

@yellowdune I believe it’s about 70%!

@artblogger What? OMG… I didn’t know that. Shouldn’t it be a false hope for the deferred students? (although some get in by RD…)

I just found out that ED deferral rate for the Class of 2019 was 65.25%, acceptance rate was 20.46%, and 13.53% of the applicants were rejected. I also heard that compared to other Ivy Leagues, Brown has the highest deferral rate.

Oh my goodness @artblogger and @jacobpilawa I absolutely adore TDCC! They are amazing and I’m so excited to hear of others who love them too! I don’t have a playlist ready for the whole array of decisions, but I do have chocolate on hand (truffles, a giant chocolate covered pretzel and another chocolate pretzel that I ate when I applied- I figured it was only fitting) I’m eerily calm, but also a little depressed because I just got deferred from Tulane (which I was expecting a little because for the averages on Naviance from my school I exceed those) I just was not pleased to hear back the day before EDs, especially when I applied October 6th :-w Here’s hoping the best for everyone though! Wherever we end up, we’ve all worked incredibly hard and deserve to go to amazing schools. Good luck to all!

Can’t believe we are just about 24 hours away… Good luck everyone! I know I am just looking forward to finding out either way :slight_smile:
