Form 3A-- Computer, Chemistry, Physics Statement

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Hi:
My d recently got a letter stating that form 3 A (Computer, Chemistry, Engineering or Physics Statement) was missing from her Brown application.<br>
Is this form required for the Bachelor of Arts degree? (She is not sure if she wants to be a Physics major, but had noted Physics along with Psych and Philosophy as her choices for a major…and she is a strong physics and math student but is really interested in the Philosophy of Science…)</p>

<p>Any help here would be appreciated. Should I tell her to just send in form 3-A late (i.e., fedex it today), or simply to change her major (delete Physics) on the update sheet, since she is not sure about a major yet…
Thanks so much.</p>

<p>My son is also applying to Brown. For fewer hassels with the admissions ofice I would just advise her to fill it out and send it asap.</p>

<p>Wow, that's my situation too. I marked Physics as primary and philosophy as well as music as secondary, thinking (I misread it) that because I put bachelor of arts no supplemental would be required. Now I have to write some short essays on Physics--I thought I was done!!</p>

<p>I'm deciding to stick with it though as opposed to calling them up and having them change it--I think it will most likely help, anyway.</p>

<p>Hi Gouda:
My d is writing the essay right now -- I hope things work out for both of you and that you both get accepted!</p>

<p>Offhand-- Gouda, are you Dutch? If so I guess the interest in Physics, Philosophy and Music runs in the genes cuz my D is also part Dutch.. and these are her interests and strengths......Interesting.....</p>

<p>Hope you got everything faxed off OK and I hope that it is not too late for you and my daughter ... I believe in destiny, and if Brown in in your destinies, you will go there regardless of the delay with Form 3A.</p>

<p>We also misread the requirement for 3A. She filled it out yestereday-- the downloadable version was not editable with Adobe Acrobat full version so in the end it was hand-typed, whiteout and all........ </p>

<p>Unlike the 3A PDF, Georgetown's PDFs were editable, BUT any edited PDF files were NOT SAVABLE--- meaning if you turn the computer off for the evening -- you come back the next morning and bring up the "saved" pdf document and it is a blank form again..... kinda like a modern version of Sisyphus without the rock..... tee hee....</p>
