Class of 2008- Who is Applying ED to Brown? Post Here!

<p>there is a possibility....</p>

<p>today i decided im pretty much going to apply to brown ED</p>

<p>but do u guys think its worth it if i have only a 2080? i mean, ill probably re-take....idk</p>

<p>but no matter what, i still think i will apply ed!! :D</p>

<p>ahhh, basking in the glory of already being accepted as a transfer. no more butterflies..no more worries!</p>

<p>laugh it up, furball</p>

<p>i can't decide between ED to brown or tufts... i've always had my heart set on brown, but i love tufts too, and it makes more statistical sense.... ugh</p>

<p>I'm gonig to apply ED to Brown if I DON'T get teh QuestBridge scholarship... lol. :)</p>

<p>lol, i BETTER GET QUESTBRIDGE!</p>

<p>I love Brown. I'm definitely EDing.</p>

<p>I <3 Brown!!!!</p>

<p>I am most definitely! I was at the 3-week summer program... i LOVED it.
I wish the application had been released... if anyone knows the essay questions or has the essay questions from last year PLEASE post them!</p>

<p>im thinking of applying ED but my financial status hinders me from doing so. do you guys know if they would let me drop if i could not afford it at all? cus i know columbia does something like that....</p>

<p>This is only to my knowledge....ED is like a contract and if you are accepted, they expect you to attend and assume that you have thought it all the way through and decided that nothing will keep you from attending if accepted. I didn't know that Columbia had something that allowed you to apply elsewhere after ED acceptance, but to my understanding, ED is binding and applying elsewhere after that is not a good idea</p>

<p>maybe...def not early</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to drop an accepted ED with anyone. ED is also a way they can screw you on financial aid, because once you're accepted you HAVE to go, and they don't have to give you as much money.</p>

<p>not really true. Go to collegeboard.com, and look at the acceptance rates and such for colleges. For the early decision section, there's usually a discrepancy between number accepted ED and number attending ED. It can be due to financial aid, if there's no way at all someone can attend (I believe so at least). But those are just a few cases.</p>

<p>I mean, I guess if you absolutely cannot go, that's a different story. But when you apply ED, you sign a contract that says you can pay (though you may need financial aid) and you agree to going if you are accepted. </p>

<p>It'd be interesting to find out how people get out of the bind. Does collegeboard list reasoning for the drop?</p>

<p>for most schools, you can break the binding ED commitment if the financial aid awarded to you upon acceptance is not sufficient. i'm sure that this accounts for a great deal of the "discrepancy" that guguru is speaking of.</p>

<p>ED right here.</p>
