<p>Very strong resume. Applying RD will hurt a little. Suggest you work on demonstrating in your app how Brown fits you and you fit Brown in regards to its approach to curriculum, i.e. open curriculum and ability to self direct and self motivate.</p>

<p>RD is unfortunately my only option as I am applying restrictive ED to my top school (Brown is my #2), but I feel I talked quite a bit about the open curriculum and breadth of a concentration. Thanks for your advice!</p>
