Five kids from my school last year got into Tufts.
@Guacamoleisgood Three people from my high school did! Two got in ED. Itās possible! @casspud
@sciencenerd123 that makes me feel soo much better. If you donāt mind me asking, what kind of school do you attend? Like public/private, urban/rural, big/small?
It gives me such great comfort to know that I am not alone with all the frustration. Reading through the comments describes exactly how I feel; the emotional breakdowns because you know you will get a rejection (I have had so many of these), the lack of motivation to work on other essays because you feel at the back of your mind there might be a tiny bit of hope and Brown might say yes and going through your application a million times a day āin the eyes of your admission officerā to see what they might like and what will send you to the reject pile. This wait is frustrating, we all know that and for those like me who have the slimmest chance to get in makes it 100 times worse, then add the fact that all my close friends just got rejected from their ED schools. I am just an emotional wreck waiting to blow up.
Itās five am where I live and I canāt go to sleep. My heart is pounding so much it got my head doing it too. I am a nervous wreck and I keep micro-analyzing every single event in my life. I make a typo in a text message; I lose a game of monopoly; I spill ketchup on the table; how on earth did I think I could apply to Brown?
Iām so glad this thread exists. Thank you all for posting the insecurities and worries and doubts plaguing you right now. It comforts me to know that every single one of us applied not because we were above a certain threshold but because we love this damned school so much. We applied because we saw ourselves there, and we deserve to.
Thank you all for helping me see that even if I am rejected, deferred, or (that slim chance that gives me this frustrating sense of hope) accepted - no matter what I donāt have to feel bad about having the guts to apply regardless of the chances. I hope I feel the same way when the results come out.
Letās just get through these last few days.
I just want to remind everyone that regardless of where we end up going to school, we can still achieve all of our goals if we work hard enough. Yes, Brown is the best school in the world, but if we get rejected on Thursday, it does not mean that we are failures. Every one of you has worked so hard in high school. Getting a rejection letter does not discredit your accomplishments.
@casspud I go to a public high school. I think itās one of the top 10 in Maine. About 700 students, usually around 150 in the senior class.
@geugen amen. As one of the AO at Duke told us at these type of top end schools like Brown etc kids are not ārejectedā but rather students are SELECTED.
Ok, so Iām not the only one being (incredibly) slowly eaten alive by anticipation right now. Good to knowā¦
I am so stressed it is so hard to focus on anything. I wish they would give us an actual date and time! But regardless I completely agree with the people above, so few people actually get into this school, and while I really hope Iām one of them, no matter what happens we will all get into a great school and things happen for a reason (as cliche as that sounds). I truly believe everyone will end up where they are meant to be, and the fact that we worked hard enough throughout high school and had enough courage to apply to brown at all is something to be proud of. 
Good luck to everyone!
^^I keep refreshing the admissions instagram and facebook waiting for some sort of announcement to confirm Thursday. But alas, nothing. Yes though, I think that weāll all end up where we are supposed to be (any elseās second choice Tufts? haha).
Good luck to all you ED kids! Iām rooting for you Does anyone know when Brown releases their RD?
@clvmsy We donāt even know when the ED is releasedā¦
@clvmsy It could vary, but the last few years itās been March 30th. @Lutus221 is right though, we donāt even know when ED results come outā¦ we just have to trust and hope that the admissions officers will send us them at the earliest time that they can
Tufts isnāt my second choice but is on my list.
@xoxo254 - how were you able to apply to both Stanford and Brown early?
@Deaston They werenāt. Probably broke a few rules here and there lolā¦
Hey! I just now saw this thread and OH MY GOSH it is SOOO nice to read how I am not the only one not able o focus on anything!! Iām at the point where I actually want midterms to take my mind off of Brown!! Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know that I just got off the phone with someone at admissions and they said thatBrown will release notifications December 14th at 4:00 pm. Donāt know if date wonāt change again, but as of right now thatās it! Good luck to everyone and I hope you all (and me 
) will be part of Class of 2022!! GOOD LUCK!!
Thatās great! Same time at Dartmouth! When did they tell you this? @yadeforlife123
And what time zone is that?
