I Hope I Don't Get Into Brown

<p>Maybe you should try talking with your parents. Would they really make this decision for you?</p>

42

<p>Withdraw admission = nothing to worry about.</p>

43

<p>Ah, all right, Mapleleafs. Good luck and I hope you don’t get accepted. <em>smiles goofily a lot to mitigate ostensible meanness of words</em> :)</p>

44

<p>Well, to be honest, Brown’s RD acceptance rate is going to be ridiculously low, like about 5%. So the probability that you’ll be accepted there is pretty low, unless you have something that really stands out.</p>

45

<p>No, Brown’s RD acceptance rate this year will not be 5%. I do not believe it will drop that low any time soon.</p>

</p>

<p>Unless you can provide us a datum for it, we’ll just assume it’s invalid. You never know what the Brown admissions could look like each year depending on what happens.</p>

<p>You’re a cat. You have 9 lives.</p>

<p>Why don’t you secretly sabotage your application process by calling them and saying “I lied, I don’t want to go to Brown” etc o.o</p>

50

<p>Brown’s admit rate would only be 5% (based on those stats) if it had a 100% yield. </p>

<p>Considering that the people who get into Brown will probably get into institutions of equal or better caliber (many with great FA packages), the yield will be far far from 100%. Even Harvard’s yield on a typical year is “only” about 80%.</p>

51

<p>:b no. My parents aren’t that manipulative. It would just save A LOT of effort explaining why I don’t want to go to Brown if I didn’t get it, plus I’d feel bad for people that didn’t get in. The 5% acceptance rate (or anyway less than 10%) gives me hope :]</p>

52

<p>I think you do a chances thread “Chance that I will get rejected by Brown” all of the people saying that your stats aren’t good enough (for some reason someone always raises that point) should cheer you up lol.</p>

53

<p>^^ Also Maple out of curiosity what did you write your UChicago essay about?</p>

54

<p>Brown’s acceptance rate is 8-9%. it’s all over the Brown board lol.</p>

55

<p>^ That means nothing… we don’t know how many of those kids were serious contenders to begin with, how many kids were potential varsity athletes etc.</p>

56

<p>“I think you do a chances thread “Chance that I will get rejected by Brown” all of the people saying that your stats aren’t good enough (for some reason someone always raises that point) should cheer you up lol.”</p>

<p>LMAO, doooo itttt.</p>

57

<p>I will start that chances thread.</p>

<p>My Chicago essay was based on a quote, and I talked about maturing and stuff lol</p>
