I’m kind of a mess right now. I have a test and a presentation tomorrow at school, and I don’t know how well I’m going to perform under the anxiety that the anticipation for decisions is going to cause. I keep going back and forth between thinking I have a good shot at admission and thinking I have little to no chance. I have some meditation apps downloaded, so hopefully those will help, especially during the school day. I’m planning on going to the gym and getting a good workout in around 4:30 so that by the time decisions come out I’ll be feeling good and full of endorphins. The rest of the evening after that will probably be rough, though.
I’m going to try to get some sleep now. Best of luck to all of you tomorrow.
I can definitely relate, @jrdsnw. I hope you get some rest and get through it all well, and we’ll be here as a mutual support group in the evening after, especially those who are deferred/rejected (though hopefully that will be very few of us, and not you or me). I’m going to sleep now too, and I wish all the best for all of you throughout the day tomorrow! Thank you so much for being a wonderful community! I’ll likely be busy until significantly after the decision is released, so idk when I’ll be on here next, but I’ll be here in the evening for sure. Good night!
im going for dual degree too! idk if its feasible but i wanted to do materials engin/chemistry and… lol im not entirely sure on the RISD side. one of my friends got accepted ED there so im crossing my fingers that i’ll be there too!! we’ll see tomorrow i guess…
@astrobiodreams You’re essentially saying that reservations should be made in colleges for people like me, who are part of the LGBT community, just to fulfil a quota. If someone recognises the fact that ivy-league colleges do do this (an assumption), and are within the legal limits and boundaries why not take advantage of it?
And who’s to say that a person part of the LGBT community deserves that spot more in lieu of his/her(you get where I’m going) sexuality?
That being said, this is not a recommendation, but rather a consideration of an outlook on the college admissions process for a group of colleges in the United States.
i’m an international student in the us too, yeah, i feel like there generally a quota for number of students admitted from a specific country, which makes it harder for many asian internatinoal students
For you international students, are you gonna check your decision as soon as it comes out, or will you wait till the evening to be with your family?
I have a literature mid term on the morning results are out and I feel like I should wait it out… let me know what you guys think…
Wow 790 posts… I guess we’re all nervous haha
I’m an international student wondering if i should just stay up all night so I fall asleep after seeing my results in the morning
Guys I’m so so anxious right now. 12 hours from now I’ll very likely get deferred or rejected from the school I’ve wanted to go to for years. I have a major presentation in school today idk what I’m going to do. Whatever happens you’re all incredible people so it doesn’t matter where you go to college, you’ll find success anywhere. Good luck and goodbye, I need to stay off this forum until decisions.
@clalaore i did a conceptual one where i just chose whatever seemed like my best 12 pieces except now i regret it because I’ve done more work in AP art and i want to edit my submissions so badly
All right guys I just had a good cry as I woke up so let me tell you a story. Last year, one of my best friends who is absolutely brilliant applied early to her top-choice college: Harvard. This time last year, she was deferred. She was so upset, and all of us were so sure she was going to get in so it was heartbreaking when she didn’t. Come March, she eagerly opened up the status update from Harvard only to be wait-listed. Harvard was the only school she didn’t get into–she got into MIT, Princeton, Yale, UPenn, Tufts, and more. This time last year she was so upset, and right now, she is right where she belongs at Yale and she is hating on Harvard and destroying them at football. More importantly, she is so happy! Like her, we all are going to end up where we are meant to be. I know next year I will be happy wherever I end up, but it’s just really hard to believe that right now. You’re not alone in this. But we’ll all be okay in the end. Right now though, I don’t know how I’ll make it through school today without crying :(.
I’m gonna close down all my Brown-related tabs and try to calm down and take it easy for the rest of the day. But before I go I just wanted to say good luck to all of you! It was nice getting to meet some of you and I really hope that we will be meeting on campus next fall, but if not, I know things will turn out great anyway. Everyone have a good and peaceful day!
Just catching up on this thread! I hope everyone can relax until 6. Whatever happens, we’re all going to end up at great places! Not getting into Brown won’t change the passion and drive that we each have. We’re going to make the impact that we want to, wherever we go to school. I’m excited to see what the Class of 2022 does, whether in Providence or elsewhere. Good luck to you all!
Everyone grab some pizza rolls and put on a good old episode of iCarly. Just forget about 6 and pretend it’s 2009 again. Obama is president, we’re all in third grade, everything is right in the world.
I applied RD but reading this thread has shown me the truly amazing types of people that Brown attracts. I truly wish everyone luck and will be waiting on decisions with you all lol. Brown is close to my heart since I did their summer camp and it would be a dream to go there so I know how you all are feeling (but with a March decision date, haha). Each of you are extremely qualified and Brown would be lucky to have you all. Again, best of luck, I’m rooting for all of you!
