@YellowDune I am expecting an email that says “Your admissions decision is available” or something like that. I don’t think I’m going to check it at all tomorrow until 5 P.M. in case I accidentally see the decision.
I’m getting nervous just thinking about accidentally seeing it!
@jacobpilawa ME… When we get deferred, we are given false hope.
@jacobpilawa To be honest, I know that I will probably not get accepted, but I just don’t know why I am so nervous right now… This is awful.
To be quite honest I’d rather get deferred than flat out denied/rejected /: now THAT would suck
@nicold8 OH MAN. YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE FLOODGATES YOU HAVE JUST OPENED MY FRIEND
les mis is lowkey my entire life. it’s my favorite book/musical/etc. so i own 7 copies of the book, 2 versions of the movie, 4 versions of the soundtrack, a lucky cosette t shirt (which i’m definitely wearing tomorrow haha) and my room is literally papered with posters. i have a cosette flag hanging on my door. i got to see it live last year and i’ve just been dead ever since like honestly its been so influential on me IT’S SO NICE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
sorry that was weird but omg you don’t even know how obsessed i am and i never get to show it because it’s weird af . besides comedy it’s my main form of geekery (i hate that word lmao)
@YellowDune honestly if it were me I would go ahead and check just so I know… I know if I don’t get in I’ll be sad, but at least I know what the next few months are going to look like for me. Good luck on that speech, though!
Thanks, @emedylinaira ! and @rlathd2 , that is true… I mean I won’t be happy to get deferred, but I don’t want to be one of the 15% of the applicants who get rejected. I think I’ll just lose self-confidence and will have harder time applying to other colleges…
lol hey Brown people, coming to you live from Cornell’s ED page. I see you all only have 34 pgs?? @pontmercys I guess we hopeful Cornellians are a bit batty haha either way I wish the best for everyone!!!
@pontmercy DUDE honestly my friends have gotten so sick of me talking about Les Mis I am SO GLAD there’s someone out there who loves it as much as I do!! I got to see it live in NYC last year as well and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I’ve listened to or bootlegged (shh don’t tell) almost every version of the show like at this point I can practically tell which ensemble member is breathing in the background in like the most obscure cast which is VERY CONCERNING but you know, it’s chill, it’s cool it’s whatever. And two summers ago I slogged through the Hapgood translation and it changed my life. I assume your favorite character is Marius from your username?
@Curlynizzle lol I was looking at some of the other Ivies’ ED threads and Penn’s has like 300+ or something and I was so surprised bc thiis thread is so tiny lmao. Good luck to you all!
joins RD threads in preparation
@XCjunior2016 Lol.
Lol it is kinda true, that out of all the Ivy EDs, we are the quietest! Maybe says something about the humility and/or simplicity of brown applicants? lol
@YellowDune I suggest you to check it ahead, since you cannot concentrate on your speech for sure.
I am actually so nervous! What do I do to keep my mind of things? I already made a playlist and everything. I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight! I am so scared I am going to not be able to wait at 12:00 tomorrow and will accidentally see my decision.
I also have swimming until 5:30 so I won’t be home until 6:00 so it’s extra waiting!
@nicold8 OMG YOU ALSO HAVE CAST OPINIONS THIS IS LIKE THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE. what is your opinion of lea salonga this is very important. and yes the brick is life changing omg
yes the honorable baron is my favorite character haha. i’m lowkey in love with him because i love eddie redmayne but i also relate to his dorkiness hardcore lol
@emedylinaira haha right! I thought I misread the pages and pressed the arrow to go the last page and saw that the last page was pg. 34. I guess Brown applicants are more chill? Who knows lol. wow Penn is up there tho. On my thread there’s competition to be the one w the most views and posts lmao. Love my fellow Cornell lovers, they keep me hopeful and entertained
I am simply too nervous to do anything right now!I’d rather be deferred than be rejected. Of course being admitted is the best news! Good luck to all the ED applicants out there:) Hope to hear good news from you (lots of love)
@pontmercy I’ve always thought Lea was really lovely!! I remember being completely floored by her Fantine when I saw the 25th anniversary concert. This might be an unpopular opinion but I think her Eponine pales a bit in comparison to that - I think Fantine was a role that suited her more. It should also be noted that I’m a writer and completely tone deaf so I make my not-so-informed judgments based mostly on acting, which I have actual experience in. Also I just think Lea is a really wonderful person to have on Broadway right now :))
Also I completely feel you after the Les Mis movie came out I watched Eddie’s entire filmography. That was my whole winter break that year. I have fun. Personally Grantaire is my favorite character. I like that guy
