Brown University class of 2021 ED applicants discussion

okay, thats what i thought. thank you :slight_smile:

@littlemousling i think that all my essays are pretty crap, but I’m also very hard on myself and super critical… but i totally understand, i think everything i do can be better haha

i just submitted my application!!!

I submitted my application, I’ve found that it’s best for me to entirely push something out of my mind if I have no control over the outcome. Now, to live my life until decisions come out!

Anyone get an email from Brown about setting up a Brown account? I applied yesterday, not sure how long it takes normally to get the email.

@ricka8 i’ve heard they’re sending an email to all ED applicants this wednesday. :slight_smile:

I called to ask about the emails and Brown admissions said they will be sent out next Wednesday, 11/9. This will have the ID number to create an account so we can see the application progress and all that.

Do you guys think you’ll get in? Even knowing you are a competitive applicant and have done all your stuff, all I can think to do is stress about not getting in.

That’s the downside of ED. You put your heart and soul into this one school, clearly falling in love with it. You are ALL competitive, deserving applicants; seemingly randomly, some will get admitted and many will not. Sigh. If only all the ED applicants could now get amnesia so totally forget about Brown for a few weeks. But alas, life doesn’t work that way. My little Brown wannabe thinks about it constantly. Good luck to all of you! If you are not at Brown a year from now, you will STILL love where you are and the school will be lucky to have you. Onward and upward.

@lf1999 i personally don’t :frowning: i think my supplements/personal statement/ECs are all good, but i wish my test scores were higher. that being said, i’ve accepted that everything happens for a reason and we’ll all end up where we’re supposed to be. i’m sure your application is wonderful! :slight_smile: the rest is out of our hands, and december 15th will be here before we know it.

@ricka8 wait Nov 9! but we only have until nov 12 to send in our supplementary research materials… if we have science research supplements, they’re expecting us to get them in from nov 9-12??

brown’s email says we will get the brown account
ā€œthe second Wednesday after submitting your Common Applicationā€ so it can’t be nov 9 for everyone

I regret each day for not trying hard enough my junior year. Submitted yesterday waiting for ā€œThank Youā€.

did you guys apply anywhere else early? i applied to Brown, UChicago, Northeastern, U Michigan and U of Utah (because the priority deadline for the honors college was nov 1 and I’m in state so it makes sense lol)

@lf1999 I applied to Northeastern EA yesterday

Finally applied after reading my supplements twenty times for typos lol. Submitted a visual arts photo supp too. Now the decision is out of my hands, and I know that I put my best foot forward. Good luck everyone!!!

Just submitted my application!! Great way to spend my last halloween at home… but oh my god it was so scary I was literally shaking. Now we wait! Good luck to everyone

Hey everyone, I’m joining this late but I just applied yesterday! I’m preparing myself for rejection, but I am excited nonetheless. I’ll keep you all updated and I wish you all the best of luck. :slight_smile:

Hello everyone! Submitted my application an hour ago. Didn’t receive any confirmation mail from Brown yet. Is it something to worry about?

Do most people submit portfolios???
