Oh I’m wavering between majoring in theater(kind of incongruous with my app I know), public policy/political science, sociology, developmental studies, international relations, possibly humanities or modern media studies or literature/English
Which ones do you feel seem like someone with my stats would pursue ?
And pls reply, I was convinced to apply and would love to go, but I really don’t know if I am good enough

You sound like a good candidate. And, I’m under the impression that Brown doesn’t admit based on major so whatever major you do choose shouldn’t affect your chances of getting in. However, don’t take my word for it haha. I’m in the same spot you’re in. BTW, what level in figure skating are you? Are you with USFSA?

Haha thank you. I’ve only passed preliminary moves in the field for figure skating. I have been doing it for a while just cause I like it. And I heard (don’t take my word for it :D) that adm officers look at your writing style and how it meshes with your intended majors on another thread, and isn’t overall cohesiveness v important? If you wanna pm me or smthng go for it:)

Oh that’s cool! I’ve been doing skating for a while and it’s always cool to meet new people who do it!
Really? I haven’t heard that haha. I suppose it’s too late change anything now though :stuck_out_tongue:

You have great scores, stats, and ECs! In my opinion, you really do give off a “Brown” vibe :slight_smile: Good luck with ED you have a great shot!

Ahhh you skate? So exciting to meet people on here who skate!!! I’m currently slogging through Junior Moves LOL. No end in sight right now.
