<p>Ok heres my problem. Im in love with Brown and in the back of my mind I just know that most likely I will be heartbroken. I keep envisioning opening the letter from Brown and it being an acceptance letter and being filled with joy beyond belief. At the same time reality hits and I know that it prob wont happen. I guess Im just really depressed right now.</p>
<p>Apply anyway! It won't matter in the end; you'll go somewhere if you don't go to Brown.</p>
<p>I was in your shoes... and then I got in!</p>
<p>Is there any reason to think you don't have as good a chance as any other applicant?</p>
<p>In my opinion, it´s better to experience the consequence than to regret.</p>

<p>No not really its just that looking at the numbers of people who apply vs. the number who get in can seem really intimidating.</p>
<p>kevin, we're in the same boat. i had a dream that i got a letter from collegeboard saying that i got a 1500 on my sat. then shortly following that, i got a letter from brown telling me i was rejected.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure i woke up with teary eyes.</p>
<p>my advice to everyone is to not even worry about it. things will work out in the end. a year ago, i had almost zero idea of where i wanted to go. brown wasnt even in the picture, like i mean literally i hadnt even considered it. and alas, a year later, im about to move across the country to go to school there. dont stress about it.</p>
<p>I remember freshman year when one late-night hallway conversation revealed that nearly all of us thought we'd been let in by mistake!...</p>
<p>Also, make sure to look for other schools that have a similar vibe to Brown. They are out there. You will have a happier senior year if you cover your bases by including some safer schools you'd be happy to attend. </p>
<p>IMO Vassar is one of the closest in spirit to Brown.</p>
<p>I feel ya, kevinhaspockets, especially when I look at other people's scores who were rejected, or who just seem to have done more amazing things in high school than I've had the chance to do. But I know what I'm best at and what I'm passionate about, and I'll just do the best to get into the school(s) for me.</p>
<p>I think it's much better that I feel a little discouraged about college and therefore plan to work 5000 times harder than I was before than to think I'm invincible and then come toppling down.</p>
<p>So? There is absolutely no point in crying about how youre getting rejected until youre actually rejected. What the hell is the point to it?</p>
<p>SHUT UP, WRITE AN AWSOME ESSAY AND DEAL WITH THE DECISION.</p>
<p>Haha I'm likin' that attitude.</p>
