<p>I was rejected from Brown this year for grad. I know sad, sad, sad, it is THE greatest university, I believe, in the world.
So heres my thing: I live very close to Brown (MA/RI line) and I'm interested in still going there (HA HA they're not done with me yet!) Should I take some classes, get to know some faculty, and then perhaps re-apply? Since I live close -- it's convenient. This might prove to them how serious I am of being accepted. Also, I don't want to do a "probationary" grad student deal because you are often looked down upon by the department.</p>
<p>But, I could also apply to one of Darthmouth's MA liberal arts/interdisiplinary programs -- the deadline for is in July -- or NYU's Tisch MA Performance Studies in the FALL.</p>
<p>Thought I'd throw some options that I'm chewing on out there -- i doubt anyone has ever been in this quagmire before -- but i could def. use some imput...</p>
<p>THANKS!!</p>
