<p>although i'd love to think that i'll get accepted, i will probably be waitlisted, or more likely rejected. i don't think brown likes my school in general anyways, and i'm not superqualified. but maybe they'll change their minds?</p>
<p>Not only are my fingers crossed, I've crossed my legs, my arms, my hair, made the sign of the cross, x-ed my entire house and have made crosses out of my family members...</p>
<p>There might also be some ritual animal sacrfice in there somewhere, too.</p>
<p>If I did not get a likely letter from Duke, then I would have thought I'd be rejected, but now I'm much more confident, and yes I think I'll be accepted.</p>
<p>Well, ooh la la, mr. successful-person-who's-going-places.</p>
<p>congrats goldfish. One of my friends got a likely from Duke. I didn't but I got full tuition at Vandy which has done very little to improve my confidence but it has relieved my nervousness.</p>
<p>a full ride at vandy?</p>
<p>wow. that kicks ass huh?</p>
<p>actually, it is like 35 a year, which leaves about 10K but I was pretty happy (actually, my parents were pretty happy). It certainly doesn't suck.</p>
<p>i'll be rejected, but hey, doesnt hurt to try, only a broken ego :-/</p>
<p>I think I ll get in cause' that 's what panetha ott aka the dean of international admissions told my college counselor! I got deffered early but she said that if I break the 600 on my sat math part I d be in regular, and i just got 610 so there...!</p>
<p>i'm not too sure...im an int'l with decent stats, nothing special in terms ECs, essays etc. Not applying for fin.aid might help me, dunno though. i guess 50-50 chance of rejection/acceptance</p>
<p>~10% admission chances.
144 applicants from my country, out of which approx 13-17 will be accepted.. Lucky thing is I am 1 out of 2 applicants from my school, and my interviewer (a regional coordinator) said it was to my advantage.
Probably adds 1% or so to the equation, but still >85% chance of rejection.</p>
<p>I think I'm on that same boat with a 50/50 chance of getting accepted or rejected. Goodness knows I'll be praising everything and anything if I get accepted but I'm not going to count on it.</p>
<p>I really don't know, I would love to go to Brown so I hope I do get in, but college admissions at most of the upper level schools is a crapshoot. I know that I have the scores and I think I have the ECs and the essays, but I could just as easily be rejected. I am just hoping that when the admissions officer reads my application they are looking for a relatively smart tennis playing debater.</p>
<p>i'm the only one applying from my school, but also the first to apply ever. does that hurt or help me? my stats, ec's and such are good... hm</p>
<p>I think you should be aiiiiiiiiiiiiite, dawg.</p>
<p>if im lucky ill get waitlisted
i have the grades (ranked 2 out of 700, 2310 SAT)
but im not sure if my activities will make me stand out
im really into music, i sent in a flute CD
but thats about all that i can do so
oh well</p>
<p>I don't understand why everyone on this board is so pessimistic. Everyone who applied to Brown is relatively intelligent and we all have a chance of acceptance. I try to look at my situation as optimistically as I can (hoping for acceptance), but I always remain down to earth acknowledging that I could get rejected.</p>
<p>I believe we understand that life continues if we are not accepted into our "dream school". However we all do hope to get into our top choice school. With the admissions process being so whimsical, you cant help but feel a bit pessimistic.</p>
<p>i think some of us our relaying that we're pessimistic because if we're all like "oh yeah i really think i'll definitely get in" then the arrogance of the thread would cause it to explode into a million pieces.</p>
<p>its kind of difficult to not be pessimistic when you have a 1280 M+V combined. If they overlook that, I think i stand a tiny tiny tiny chance, more on the verge of rejection, but i am praying. I already started looking at transfer apps and if I don't get in this year, I WILL be one of those 200 next year.</p>
