A source of comfort for the crushed but hopeful.
Ugh this is rough, but a lot of us will get in in the end!
Rip, put so much effort into Brown since freshman year
deferred too!
OK I thought I was a mess before decisions but after I the deferral I have literally been crying for three hours with some breaks in between ugh I hate this I hate this I hate this.
At least now there is no ED agreement.
One of my friends just got into MIT. I’m trying to stay positive, but this sucks.
Think of it this way: you still have a chance at Brown, but you’re no longer bound, and have other options to compare
I didn’t want the other options. That’s why I applied ED.
Honestly, this was such a huge wake up slap. I was so confident that I was going to get in, and then at 6 pm–bam–I checked, and was deferred. Oh well, I guess this is a sign that I really need to amp it up for my rd schools. Though it’ll be hard. I was so, so invested in Brown, and I don’t know if I can inject the same passion into my other applications.
yeah. It’s a rough night.
How are you going to ramp it up?
It’s gonna be rough, guys
on other news, what’s y’all second colleges.
@giantoctopus idk, man. idk. I think my Brown essays were the best I could have produced. But I guess I’ll have to squeeze something more out.
^^^You have to…search for genius?
Georgetown!
What really kills is the wait until RD decisions. I wish the rd decisions could come out tomorrow, whether I’m rejected or not.
anyone know how many were accepted
@sciencenerd lmaooo yes. I made this username in sophomore year. At the time I was trying to look for lifestyle patterns in geniuses, how to maximize productivity, what it was about their brains that made them different, etc. Sort of like Cal Newport’s examination of the straight A student. Didn’t make much progress on that project tbh.
