<p>I don't know of any Brown athlete that leaves when injured. In fact, I know of two that were injured freshman year and couldn't play anymore at all that are still at Brown through year three. I know two guys who were injured and lost their season junior year to it and they're certainly coming back to graduate. I have no idea what you're talking about, in fact.</p>
<p>didican -- at many schools, if a student is injured or quits they lose their aid/scholarship</p>
<p>at brown, they don't, and can finish their degree.</p>
<p>denial is a very good thing.</p>
<p>Denial or evidence directly from people I know in that situation? Being an ******* who doesn't know what they're talking about is cool too. How's that going for you didican?</p>
<p>From reading her posts I don't think she would have made it at Brown anyway.</p>
<p>didican't ftw</p>
<p>I can also attest to modest. A friend from my high school got injured on the football team his junior year and he still finished his time here at Brown. Didican you just need to learn to shut up and stop pretending to know more than everyone else. </p>
<p>Maybe she really got into John Brown University. She's good at being self-righteous.</p>
<p>I'll be an athlete at Brown next year and I can confirm that what separates Brown from the schools that award scholarships is that the coaches don't "own" their players and that we are free to leave the team anytime and keep on with our studies without any problem. The coach kept on emphasizing this to me and I met a girl who actually experienced it. She was injured as early as her freshman year and had to stop completely. She's a Junior at Brown now. So I don't see what didican is talking about...</p>
<p>Some people don't know the difference between their mouth and their ass and think they're talking out of one when really the other is what's active. People on these forums drive me nuts spreading disinformation and bias for the hell of it, as though they have something invested in putting down other places.</p>
<p>Pinder's post is obviously completely uninformed. </p>
<p>And i personally know dozens of people who applied to both yale and brown... in fact, i know more yalies who were choosing between yale and brown than yale and anywhere else.</p>
<p>brown takes the common application now, right?</p>
<p>yup. 10 char.</p>
<p>I will give the op the short answer. YES
I will give him the long answer. YES
I will give him the right Answer. YES</p>
<p>Make up any excuse you want, but it is true. Its HYPS for a reaosn...</p>
<p>Sure, its HYPS for a reason. Most people are ill-informed, as you apparently are.</p>
<p>It's hard to make a blanket statement and say Brown is easier to get into than Yale, because it changes for each applicant. Different schools look for different things. Some people get into Brown and rejected from Yale, and others get into Yale and rejected from Brown.</p>
<p>I will give the op the short answer. YES

<p>hmm that post looks really familiar</p>
<p>anyone remember what I said about colt45 being a sockpuppet account?</p>
<p>haha thats just funny...honestly not my account</p>
<p>I was accepted at Yale and rejected by Brown. Actually, out of the five ivies I applied two, Brown was the only one that right-out rejected me (Harvard waitlisted me, but ultimately rejected me).</p>
<p>great story, but everyone admits that a lot of luck goes into it once you are qualified....so anecdotal advice isn't always the best.</p>
