**Brown Class of 2020 RD applicant thread**

rejected. i cant believe it.

Rejected from Upenn, Brown and Columbia :frowning: Overall I have 6 rejections and 1 waitlist… guess I’ll just have to wait until I do my masters. Congrats to those who got accepted!

“To deny admission is an unhappy business, as much for those responsible for the decision as for the candidate who is turned away.”
wasn’t too mad about my denial bc i saw it coming but thIS LINE, THIS LINE

@saberchild What really stung me was this line:

“…please remember that in the long run where you go to college is far less important than what you do with the opportunities that surely will come your way.”

So now you’re just rubbing it in our faces at this point. If we truly thought going to college was “less important” than what we do, why even apply to Brown?

@mg29409 honestly, i disagree. where you go to college isn’t the most important thing and it is what you do BUT BEING AT A NICE SCHOOL DOES MAKE THOSE THINGS A LOT MORE ACCESSIBLE and that’s why I applied to brown

Rejected!

nvm

Waitlisted but that’s okay bc Harvard 2020 guys :slight_smile: gonna decline that wait list spot for you guys

Rejected, but totally not shocked

But they’re not wrong, in the professional world no one is going to be more impressed by a Brown degree than a state school degree. It’s all about the work you do, I promise ya @mg29409

@schroscat Sorry… Guess all that hype about the portal changing and this and that was for nothing. Reject here also.

@mg29409 Yep, kind of feels silly now looking back on how we were speculating so much. I got rejected from both ivies I applied to. Two stacking rejections. Ba-boom. Like they played the drum.

State school it is.

EDIT: Is anyone going to make a results thread? I want to serve as a warning for future minority applicants that are similar to me.

Here is the thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/1870558-official-brown-2020-regular-decision-results-thread.html

@exl028 what are your stats ? Where are you gonna go haha ? What are you studying

@schroscat I was rooting for you :frowning:

Accepted!

@Rafalala AWWW, thank you! It sucks not getting into 7 schools today, but it’s okay. I have great state schools to choose from; I know I will excel wherever I go.

Accepted, now I have to decide between Brown and Duke. Looks like it won’t be easy
