Official Brown ED Thread

<p>The applications are in! Lets roll!</p>

<p>i think its a bit early...</p>

<p>no it isnt, people can talk about what they think theire chances are, how they are feeling, what they are going to do if they get accepted/rejected</p>

<p>I'm looking at the whole situation in a realist point of view. My chances are small, so I'm prepared for the worst come December 15th... Which is really just making the next few weeks absolutely miserable, but oh well. </p>

<p>If I get accepted I'll go wild. If I get rejected or deferred I'll be disheartened and finish up RD apps elsewhere. It's going to be the very first cold winter in Miami for me if it comes down to that.</p>

<p>I would strongly advise everyone to finish up most if not all their RD apps now. It's very hard to do a good job on it if you are feeling low after being denied. Do it now, and you won't begrudge the time if you have a good outcome and withdraw all your apps, because you'll be so happy, and you won't begrudge the time if you have a defer or deny, you'll be happy you got it out of the way. </p>

<p>(and walking the talk, I have encouraged my daughter to send in 7 of her 9 apps already - she only has 2 left if she is deferred or denied at her early school)</p>

<p>All I have left are supplements at this point, which are filling out more informational responses and then the obligatory "Why this school?" short answer response. I'm working on a few now, but I won't be totally finished by the time the response rolls around.</p>

<p>Well... I applied ED to PLME (but not Brown)...</p>

<p>anyways, their site says it has everything but my english teacher's 4A recommendation form, and he sent it in 4 weeks ago, so I'm kinda worried. I called them twice (2 weeks ago and last week), and they were like "Don't worry about it, we're still processing mail." So I'm kind of worried. Plus I haven't gotten any correspondence about interviews... Eeek!</p>

<p>My parents' friend's friend's daughter (I know... indian ppl networking :roll: ) graduated from PLME and I talked to her earlier tonight. She made me feel better about my decision to apply to Brown (or PLME rather) ED, but I'm still kind of worried about whether I'll get in. I'll easily be the happiest person in Ohio on December 15th if I do get in.</p>

<p>Good Luck everyone!</p>

<p>I have loved Brown since my sophomore year and now that I have completed all of my standarized tests and gotten my rank and handed in my application, I realize that I should really be looking for a rejection....I would actually be surprised if I get a deferral...I almost feel like I wasted all this time working my a** off for a school that was always out of my reach, only now its really obvious</p>

<p>anyways, GL to everyone!</p>

<p>wow..it's amazing how everyone's going through the same post-application phase as me. I feel like there's no way I'm getting in, there's thousands of ppl just like me, why would they choose me...etc etc. </p>

<p>Krishfish, I emailed Brown because my part II didn't appear on the status thing and they gave me the same response they gave you and mine appeared eventually. But if your teacher sent your rec in 4 weeks ago, that seems like an awfully long time...</p>

<p>And for those who applied to PLME, what other combined program applications are you working on now?</p>

<p>I don't know if this helps, crzy, but I think we are all in your boat. Or at least, most of us are (and the rest are just unwilling to admit that).</p>

<p>Hey, count me in! I am an internatioanl applicant. I am also so worried these days about my application. The good news is that all my documents have arrived yet.
But something horrible occured yesterday...... My interviewer did not show up and I waited for about 3 hours. Her cellphone is still powered off now. btw, I haven't got any reply from her either a call or an email since 10 days ago....</p>

<p>I haven't gotten called for an interview yet and I sent in my application Oct 24th...is that bad?</p>

<p>I applied for PLME and now I am working on the Rice/Baylor med program, the REMS for Rochester and Sophie Davis. My parents are making me do Sophie Davis. I don't really like it and the people that I talked to that were in it aren't very happy there.</p>

<p>I applied ED to Brown because of Isabella. </p>

<p>My interview is in 100 minutes exactly. I'm excited.</p>

<p>im a canadian applying for financial aid. that's pretty much the best situation to be in, right? right???</p>

<p>Wow.. This thread is so hot now... I just wonder how I will feel about today's words one month later when I come back to this official ED thread...</p>

<p>yeah, i'm an international applying ED to Brown. I'm going through the same inferiority complex now that I've sent my application... Life would just be so easy if i get accepted. If i get rejected/deferred I will have to spend every waking (and probably sleeping) moment of my Winter Break doing RD applications. Blah. I know i should start them now, but I just don't have the heart. The college anxiety section of my brain is focusing on December 15th... It seems like that day will never come. I can't imagine actually looking online and seeing the decision. Lol my heart just started racing...</p>

<p>See, all of the guidance couselors at my school make all of the ED kids submit at least their other favorite schools right after they send in their application for early decision. I have been so hooked on this school, that I had to work on other apps to get my mind off of it. I am expecting a heartbreak, so to prevent having an emotional breakdown, I am looking at the positives in other schools. I am no where near the top of my class and don't have the strongest credentials, so looking at other schools probably makes the most sense for me.....but I am still hoping</p>

<p>I think I'm waiting on the letter. Something in me just wants to do it the old fashioned way... Probably because I remember how exciting it was to come home in the second grade to find my brother pouring over his Duke acceptance letter with glee.</p>

<p>Although once I come on here and start seeing responses, it's going to be really hard to hold out...</p>

<p>We all get our responses at the same time....?</p>

<p>Counselors are just being careful because they don't want a red flag sent up at the other universities and have them assume that the student only applied to the school because they were deferred/rejected ED. I don't see how they would think that as long as the apps are in on time. </p>

<p>I sort of just want this all to be over with. Have an interview on Tuesday at the local library and submitted my stuff into Intel. Anyone know what the chances are for acceptance of an ED person who has been deferred if they retake the SAT's and do really well and idk, have a good mid year report..etc? I really don't think I am getting an acceptance letter, but I am really stubborn and will fight for acceptance after a deferral.</p>

<p>I just want the application process to be over with. One application stressed me out enough, I can't imagine what seven or eight is going to be like. Senior fall is driving me crazy.</p>
