<p>I don't know...I'm not particularly special (white male, not a published author, have yet to walk on the moon), so i feel kind of hopeless right now. I realized that i ****ed up on the app by not mentioning several EC's, so i'm going to send in an actual Resume this time, and probably another rec, because i've realized that one of my teachers probably wasn't a good choice just because she hasn't known me for long.</p>
<p>And i have to finish all my other apps...</p>
<p>my class rank has changed for the better since nov 1 and I got into Cum Laude so i will telling brown about this. if i advance to be a nat merit finalist i will also tell them. i will be sending in an arts supplement, hopefully (i have to figure out how to do slides!)</p>
<p>right now, im focusing on other apps thoguh too. im really pursuing the st andrews NA full ride, plus i have a million why --- essays....which are a lot harder for me than my why brown essay was!</p>
<p>heres crossing my fingers!!!!!</p>
<p>and i know what you mean about being compared to other people at your school now....a girl in my grade has a lot lower course rigor, grades, scores etc but she singlehandedly did a huge aids benefit concert in atl with famous bands and stuff that raised a ton....how am i supposed to compete with that?</p>
<p>Mmmm...being deferred isn't fun. I have quite a few friends who have been accepted at other Ivies (Cornell, Columbia), so the fact that I'm deferred isn't reassuring. I think I might focus on Cornell now ("the easiest Ivy to get into"...I've already heard 3 people from my high school are accepted ED there, and my credentials are pretty similar to theirs, so...maybe). BUT I would still love to go to Brown!!!</p>
<p>well this is disappointing...</p>
<p>i completely forgot about the option of getting deferred. I thought I was either getting rejected or accepted. Now i'll be stuck in limbo until march... Q.Q</p>
<p>Two people from my school got accepted ED as well. I don't think I can compete in an RD pool. :(</p>
<p>sulkity sulk sulk.</p>
<p>What percentage of deferred ED applicants are then accepted in the RD pool?</p>
<p>hey everyone i just wanna tell yall something
we gotta hold strong...i kno many of us have to do other apps and other essays, we cant have this linger in our minds...we r good enuff to get in at brown or wherever we apply, its jus a matter of the ACs seeing that...</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK with the rest of ur apps because from now til Jan 1 i have other skools to focus on and getting deferred here doesnt end it for me..or for any of us</p>
<p>I'm very lucky that I finished ALL 10 of my apps by mid-September. But this was what I was REALLY hoping for. Oh-- and I saw most of you guys' stats on the other board, and I gotta say- VERY impressive. Much more so than mine.</p>
<p>^ id have to agree haha</p>
<p>ur lucky you finished all your apps! I have about 8 more to do =[ which means essays essays and more essays</p>
