<p>For those who chose a major in Chemistry/Computer Science/Geology/Physics, did you write a straight forward essay for the specific programs essay? Also, which topic did you choose, 1, 2, 3, or 4?
Thank you.</p>
<p>Have the prompts changed? Because I had to answer 4 short-responses (none of them were optional, and each had about a 150-word limit). I will say, my responses had LOTS of uncertainty “I think physics would be good because it seems to fit” sort of phrasing. Is that a good route? I don’t know, but it was honest. I actually didn’t address why, specifically, Brown’s physics program was my preferred program at all. Just physics in the abstract.</p>
