<p>Thanks everyone. Brownford, I’d love to go to Yale for undergrad and grad drama (mostly grad), but unfortunately it’s the more significant reach. I’d be more than delighted to go to Brown anyway. I only wish Brown had EA, not ED, so that I could compare financial aid. </p>
<p>AnonymousStudent, I suppose nothing ‘stands out’, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that there aren’t a zillion performers with my academic stats–at least, I haven’t seen anyone on the admission result boards I’ve frequented. I know this is a huge generalization, and snobby to boot; I’m just stating it based on what I’ve seen. I’m only seeing a small fraction of applicants, of course. 
and I agree on the essays, I’ve already started brainstorming. I’m super nervous to start since I know they must, must, must be fantastic.</p>
