Brown Class of 2023 Applicants Discussion

@undergrad2023 Same! I haven’t been able to focus during school all week to be honest

): today is the day! I can’t believe it…

I don’t think I have ever been this nervous for anything in my life. I’ve just been constantly checking the portal on the off chance that my decision is waiting for me ?

Who’s ready?!

Hi everyone!
I applied to Brown for ED, but I didn’t submit the graded paper because the website said Brown ‘encourages,’ not ‘requires.’ However, reading the forum, I realized that many of the applicants submitted the graded paper…
Would this affect my decision???

I’m worried…

@hellothere68

If you have an otherwise strong profile that wouldn’t need a supplement it likely won’t affect your chances. Don’t stress too much about it!

No point worrying about it now @hellothere68 :slight_smile:

GUYS! Just take a deep breath. Whatever happens, happens. Worrying about it won’t change anything – in fact, doing badly in school MIGHT change things, so focus on school! Trust me: one of my good friends has been worrying about college ED decisions for the past three days, which means he hasn’t been studying as well as he should have for our exams.
You will be fine.
This is not the end of the world.
You WILL get into college. You will get into an AWESOME college. You will be SO HAPPY in your future, because if you’re applying to a place like Brown, you already have the credentials and confidence for great schools, even if they’re not the ABSOLUTE BEST.
Take a deep breath.

Don’t stress yourselves out too much! The decision has been made, and the anxiety will only make it worse. I know it’s not that easy to control but try to forget about it and distract yourself and 6:00 will come faster.

Everyone here and that applied is wonderful and intelligent and just know its not about you. They just had too many wonderful people to choose from and some got lucky! I hope for good news from everyone but if not keep in mind that it’s not personal and you are going to go to an amazing school anyways.

I had all of my midterms this week so I hope I get some good news from Brown to supplement the utter struggle I had taking those exams.

did anyone see that their supplement upload box disappeared before today?

I did @iwannacry

Good luck to everyone from a Brown '22! I remember how I felt a year ago…really stressful day. For those of you who get in, welcome!! If you don’t, you’re not alone. I was deferred and it was a horrible experience. Just remember that what school you go to does not define you; if you are applying to Brown, you are clearly a passionate and devoted student. Take deep breaths, everyone.

Mine disappeared too… I heard brown removed the button for accepted students last year and didn’t for deferred

@sambrown101 would removal be the same for rejections too?

mine is gone to. I think they do it for everyone

Everything from my page is gone except thank you for applying and test scores. I know I’m going to get rejected but I’m in this forum anyways!

@sambrown101 wait r u sure about thiat??

6 hours… cue jeopardy noise

@iiMimic wait even like “alumni interview” and “verify your address”?
