**Brown Class of 2020 RD applicant thread**

@bobchillax Did you apply for financial aid?

@RightHand Alright well thats not going to work. Worth a try I guess lol

@collegbound1915 mine says the same…

What about the Canvas site on the Current Info for Students? Can anyone get on there?

Can we talk about what we put in our writing parts?

For the common app I wrot about the time I challenge my parent’s religion (very conservative) and how public school and the Internet reshaped my thinking

For my why brown I wrote about the mizzou protest that happened while I visited campus (sometime in November) I thought the activism feel of the campus was really cool.

For the growing up supplement I wrote about how I went from government subsidized housing to a more affluent neighborhood. (My parents are immigrants I truly am grateful for what they’ve done for me)

And I had an extra supplement to do for the engineering concentration so I wrote about how innovation works in biomedical engineering so futurism, and a lab program experience I had

I thought the brown application was the most in depth one I had to fill out and it set it apart from the other schools. My only regret is not applying early decision but I didn’t really fall in love with it until after the decision date. Also my guidance counselor made the binding aspect early decision really scary to me.

Oh great, there’s an article that probably has the acceptance rate but you can’t access it yet.

@RPD123 I can access canvas, but it might be bc I did a summer@brown online program

@RPD123 Nope. Ruh roh…

@RightHand I can’t access it either :frowning:

I really don’t think any of this means anything. Every college has seemingly correlated portal changes, and 95% of he time it doesn’t mean anything (like NYU, for instance).

How about we all just wait 40 minutes haha. Good luck you guys!

i think the canvas site requires a brown email, which you usually get after you put down a deposit for the school (or did summer@brown). nobody needs to worry!

@RPD123 @RightHand I can’t access it either – it says no account made for ____@brown.edu. I don’t think this is any sign though, but we’ll know shortly.

I’m freaking out…My heart is racing

OMG! 30 more minutes!

Do you think all of them will be up at 5:00, and people who got 5:30 in their emails were just told that so they would check later? Or are they actually going to be up at two different times?

They’ll all be up at 5 @wonderlanddd

20 minutes. Pray people. Pray!

15 minutes.

14 actually.
