**Brown Class of 2020 RD applicant thread**

I’ll be home. But not long after I’ll be at an awesome event!! If any of you guys have watched Making A Murderer, do you remember the lawyers (the nice ones lol)? They’re doing a tour and will be in my area that night so I’m seeing them! I have to make sure I compose myself quickly after reading decisions ;:wink: it’s weird because one of the lawyers actually went to Dartmouth and I’ll hear from them that day, hope there’s good news for everyone!

I’d love to hear those lawyers speak! That seems like a great opportunity, enjoy!

@whitespace The course itself isn’t horrible; the problem is that I’m a very fast reader and I can’t rush through the course…I have a specific time allotted per slide. HeLP!

@schroscat Oh man, I’ve taken classes like that before. Netflix maybe? Or doing other hw during? It’s the ones where there is no time limit that I like. I got through a state req online semester course in 8 hours. :slight_smile:

@whitespace I’m watching YouTube, haha. It’s for 6 hours, but all of it is COMMON SENSE. Like, “what is road rage?” “how can you prevent an accident?”

Where do you live that you have to suffer through that?!?

@mjstewart1224 NEW YORK IT’S THE DUMBEST THING. I NEED THE CERTIFICATE SO I CAN TAKE MY ROAD TEST. SCREAMS

@schroscat dude. That sucks.

@mjstewart1224 in my state personal finance and health are grad requirements. :frowning:

@schroscat That stinks. Although I guess maybe I shouldn’t talk, because I totaled my car in May.

@mjstewart1224 I’ve had my permit for a year and a half because I have been avoiding this course at all costs.

@whitespace How did you manage that? On my part, I’ve driven in Manhattan unscathed, so I think I’m fine? I dunno, driving is weird here.

I drive everywhere. It’s just the city I live in. But yeah I pulled out in front of someone. 10mph, they were nice, no ticket even, just wrecked my car. It’s still drive-able, I just can’t take any passengers because that side is bashed in.

@whitespace :frowning: that sucks, I’m sorry

It’s okay. It was my fault. Just a stupid mistake, you know? :slight_smile:

Hey everyone. Just got rejected from Berkeley :’) Brown, don’t fail me.

@whitespace I totally understand. Driving is super weird…like, you have the conscience ability to either drive well or kill people. It’s weird.

@McKilla99 me too!

Did anyone else just get rejected from swarthmore?? their acceptance rate supposedly dropped to 5% this year… I’m freaking out!

Not Swarthmore or Berkeley, but I got waitlisted at Vandy yesterday.

I feel like acceptances have just absolutely dropped at a lot of top schools this year, but then again it may be because I’m right in the thick of things right now and was not paying attention (obviously) last year!

@schroscat - At least you aren’t a NYer taking her permit test now…
