<p>I think you stand very well among other applicants. Your chances, to me, seem high.
Your art supplement will also add nicely to your application!</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Brown will accept art and music supplements after the Jan 1st deadline? I plan on submitting a music supplement later on this week, and I need to know if I need to rush ship it or is it okay if it arrives a few days after the deadline ?</p>

<p>popcharlie93 - thank you so much for your feedback! it’s really helpful to hear opinions, and i really appreciate what you said. btw, saw from your location brown plme - congrats!!! that’s an awesome accomplishment.</p>

<p>iloveoreos - i think on the brown admissions site they say that art/music supplements are due jan 1, but you can probably call or email the office of admissions if you have a specific question about it getting there in time, they’ll probably give you the best answer!</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s January 1st. I remember asking them about my drama supplement and they were very exact about the date I should have supplements in by. I’d rush it just to be safe! </p>
