I'm so desperate to get into Brown that

<p>Maybe, pshhh. Be more optimistic!
We are GOING TO BROWN, HOMESLICE!</p>

<p>I remember reading about a guy who rented a plane and pilot then had them fly over Stanford with a banner that said ‘Stanford needs *** in the class of 2009!’ He also set up a booth on campus and handed out items to students and professors in support of his admissions request. The admissions staff said it was really creative and they commended him, yet they denied him admission.</p>

<p>Surely these great schools (like Brown) want creative people like you. If they don’t, they should! GOOD LUCK!!!</p>

<p>too many creative people, not enough brown</p>

<p>yeah, i’m a senior here</p>

<p>I’d like to think I’m creative, but I don’t really have proof of that on an application. I mean, I can just say “I make music” but that won’t mean much to them. It’s not like I’ve won a grammy or something, haha. Even if I wanted to actually submit a song, they say they don’t accept supplemental materials so they wouldn’t listen.</p>

<p>Really? Everything I’ve read has said that they do accept supplemental materials, in the form of a cd for music or a dvd with slides for art, etc.</p>

<p>Well, the website says this:</p>

<p>"Supplementary application materials such as music tapes, art slides, and/or writing samples should not be submitted; they are not required and will not be reviewed. "</p>

<p>…consider my mind blown.</p>

<p>I think the good folks at Brown may want to check their website:</p>

<p>Portfolio/Supplementary Material Submission Guidelines</p>

<p>Students who have achieved unusual distinction in some area (music, science, creative writing, art, photography, etc.) may submit examples of their best work for the Board’s consideration. Music tapes/compact discs and art slides are forwarded to the respective departments for review while samples of creative writing and videos are reviewed by the Board of Admission only if time permits. While the Board accepts such supplementary materials for review, history has shown that submissions rarely affect admission decisions. You should not feel obliged to submit to the Board anything in addition to the required credentials.</p>

<p>If you do wish to submit any additional materials, you should follow these few guidelines designed to assure the thorough consideration of your work:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>IMPORTANT: Supplementary materials submitted for review cannot be returned to you at the end of the admission process. Do not submit anything irreplaceable or of value.</p></li>
<li><p>We do not accept or review music or art portfolio materials submitted with transfer applications.</p></li>
<li><p>Do not enclose any of the regular application forms in a package of supplementary materials.</p></li>
<li><p>All materials submitted either singly or collectively must be clearly marked with your name and address.</p></li>
<li><p>Art portfolios should be designed to reveal and/or highlight the applicant’s creative potential. Applicants are encouraged to present a diverse body of work focusing on individual artistic strengths and interests. Please do not send the original piece of art. Include one sheet of 10-20 slides, or approximately 10 color prints of your work with an accompanying list of the pieces including title, size, and medium. We encourage drawings, paintings, collage, sculpture, photography, books, and mixed media; we discourage the submission of ceramics, jewelry, and other crafts.</p></li>
<li><p>Music tapes and compact disc submissions should include an informational sheet (included in or attached to the case) with your full name, name of the composer, piece(s) performed, primary instrument and years studied, secondary instrument and years studied (if applicable), description of music theory training, description of ensemble experience (if applicable), description of most challenging repertoire studied, and if applicable, the style period, i.e., Jazz, Classical, Romantic, etc. Original compositions should be marked as such, with a score included. Do not include any supplementary music materials with any regular application forms.</p></li>
<li><p>Consideration cannot be given to any materials submitted after January 1. The work of Early Decision candidates must be received by the Admission Office not later than November 1.</p></li>

<p>haha, you almost got my hopes up there for a minute! But yeah, I’m transferring, sorry for the confusion…</p>

<p>:P So are you a freshman? Sophomore?</p>

<p>Sophomore right now. I actually applied last year as a freshman transfer but was denied. My application sucked last year though, and I definitely have a better shot this year.</p>

<p>I know who this OP is. Good ol’ AP.net!</p>

<p>Stay out of my life enchilladam!!!</p>

<p>Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’m a reporter for The Brown Daily Herald, Brown’s daily, independent student newspaper (browndailyherald.com). I’m trying to gather input and ideas from students who are applying to be a part of the Brown Class of 2014. If you’re interested in answering a couple of questions (like the ones below), PLEASE e-mail ASAP at <a href="mailto:lauren.fedor@gmail.com">lauren.fedor@gmail.com</a>.</p>

<p>Are you applying ED to Brown? Why ED? Why Brown? Are you nervous? Excited? Anxious?</p>

<p>I look forward to hearing from you.</p>

<p>Best of luck!
Lauren</p>

<p>Hi Lauren, I’d be perfectly happy to answer your questions but I’m applying as a transfer applicant. Are you interested in that or no?</p>

<p>Anyways, if you guys want to download my song, I uploaded it over at thewelcomekit.bandcamp.com </p>

<p>It’s streaming higher quality over there and has a cool picture of Brown too!</p>

<p>So, any other Brown related songs or art out there? I’d love to see it!</p>

<p>i checked out your music on myspace, it’s tighttt son</p>

<p>Arcadefire1027:
Forgive my asking, but didn’t you apply for transfer last year and weren’t you rejected?
I know that high school seniors who apply and are rejected can’t reapply from the same status of high school senior.
Is it different for transfer applicants?
Can you just keep replying, year after year?</p>
