<p>I’ve always wanted to attend Brown but after taking the SAT and reviewing my statistics I felt it was no use in applying even after I had written all my essays and was determined to apply. Today I decided to apply after having a long conversation with my cousin who just graduated last year. I don’t know what to do, or even if they’ll accept my application. It’s my first choice! I just lost my interest in the school after i saw NO HOPE. Does anybody have any suggestions of what I should do? The common application let me submit my app. & my supplement so does that mean they will still let me send my other application materials? </p>

<p>Please respond!</p>

<p>Though I don't have any concrete knowledge, my guess is that they don't look at applications sent in past the deadline. Sorry!</p>

<p>The best shot you have is probably to call the admissions office and (without depreciating your value as an applicant w/ talking about "no hope") explain that an issue arose with your ability to apply but you really love the school. Maybe you can get lucky but if you dont at least there's the option to transfer in next year. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>cinnamon9724-- thanks anyway for responding! I hope they peek at it at least (lol).</p>

<p>catastrophic09-- thanks! I sent them an email but I left out the "no hope" part, I'm thinking of calling them too as soon as Tuesday comes since Monday is a holiday. Thanks anyway.</p>

<p>This is exactly what happened to me with Yale. Exactly. I was going to submit early decision and then balked. Ended up submitting 32 seconds before the RD deadline. XD</p>

<p>Good luck with that.</p>

<p>oo man! But maybe it's destiny! (lol) I called today and they were like, they got my application I should be getting an ID soon, I was SHOCKED...I guess people do get second chances. I'm sending EVERYTHING else tomorrow. Hopefully they look quickly! (lol)</p>
