<p>Yes, you fall into a few of them haha.</p>
<p>It’s still a great feat. You should feel proud!</p>
<p>Well I’m from Brown…but rejected
Perhaps because I’m an international and want almost full FA…
Now I’m waiting for four more painstaking decisions:/</p>
<p>Look on the bright side, morningglory. Even if you get rejected from all of them, you still have a fantastic college to go back to in the fall. Some of us have hellholes we have to crawl back into if we get rejected everywhere :(</p>
<p>morningglory93: Where else are you waiting for?</p>
<p>muaythaiguy18: Agreed! There’s a very real chance I’ll have to stay where I’m at and that really scares me. Though I guess my current isn’t horrendous, it’s just average. I just have higher expectations of myself so while my school is average in my major and to a lot of people here it is a good school, I know there are a lot better schools out there.</p>
<p>“Some of us have hellholes we have to crawl back into if we get rejected everywhere”</p>
<p>This is a pretty ridiculous statement. I’d use the word hellhole lightly when people in this world actually suffer in hellholes (Syria, North Korea…) You’re (presumably) an American in college, making you one of the most privileged people in the world.</p>
<p>Does anybody know the chances of getting off the wait list? Perhaps based on admission stats from last year?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>

<p>At least we haven’t hit the “everything reduces to being called a Nazi” argument.</p>
<p>I think that he misunderstood me. There is a difference between a place being a hellhole in the physical sense, and a personal hellhole for someone. </p>
<p>Anyway, we are drifting from the thread’s purpose.</p>
<p>It reeks of privilege and a lack of awareness about your position in society. Whether you consider it a fallacy or not, good luck complaining to the rest of the world about how hard you had it in college.</p>
<p>I know Brown is a great school and I love it soooo much, but basically I can’t attend this school anymore due to financial difficulty:’( This is a main reason why I applied transfer to need-blind schools. So I am now extremely nervous about upcoming decisions of other schools. I need to relax myself and try to focus on studying for remaining finals…though it’s really hard.</p>
<p>Can those accepted update us with their stats? thanks</p>
<p>^ I guess there is no point. Dartmouth is sooo exclusive you can’t possibly pattern yourself on those accepted. Not in this life.</p>
<p>I got accepted! and for those of you who want to know, my stats:
3.9 gpa from a top 5 liberal arts college, 2320 SAT, one “glowing” rec letter and the other should be pretty decent as well (I was the only freshman in a upper level class and got good grades…), extensive work experience and an additional rec letter from my boss, which I read and was fantastic… intended major government with education on the side. not much extracurriculars during college tho. I am an international student from Asia. Havent heard about my financial aid yet but hopefully it’ll be satisfactory. hope this helps.</p>
<p>@Lumberjack123, lol, who knows though?</p>
<p>@legokidswear, congrats man, thanks for the update, wish you all the best!</p>
<p>i got accepted 
stats: 4.0gpa from UCLA (Dean’s list for fall 2012), 34 ACT, subject tests: 800 for Math 2, Physics and Chemistry. high school grades are mostly A’s and my relationship with teachers was good so hopefully that helped with my rec. letters. Represented India in International Junior Science Olympiad and won two gold. Selected for many scholarships in India and top 200 for millenium youth science camp in Helsinki. Received an invitation to join the Royal Society of Chemistry, London. </p>
<p>Overall, i have been an extrovert and i try anything that interests me. I take life as it comes and try to enjoy every moment because one never knows how much more time one has. i wasn’t expecting to get accepted. i was hoping though and when i saw the acceptance, it was a dream come true.</p>
<p>Congratulations. It looks like they made a good choice.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! Oh, and for people saying they only take rich legacy families and minorities, that’s not the case for me. I’m a white male who has no connection to any college outside of Ohio. Did I just get lucky?</p>
<p>Anybody know the chances for the wait list or is it as good as rejection</p>
