Official Brown ED Thread

<p>We need a sticky! 2008 EDers!</p>

<p>I requested that they make this thread a sticky.</p>

<p>19 more days left....</p>

<p>For CCers aiming for PLME:</p>

<p>If I didn't take a science SAT II, do you think this will considerably lower my chances for PLME? I know that the brochure states that Brown recommends taking a science SAT II, but I only took U.S. History, Math II, and Literature. I'm considering taking SAT II Biology in January and rush reporting it to the adcom.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>If they recommend it, then it probably kind of hurts you to not do it...</p>

<p>Have you taken a science AP test?</p>

<p>Yes, I took AP Chemistry but only received a 4.
Since I'm taking AP Biology this year, I think I might take the subject test for biology in January. Do you think Brown will still take the score if I rush report it?</p>

<p>Wait, ED? (assumed since this was ED thread).</p>

<p>I don't see how much that will matter.. don't decisions return on the 15th of December or so?</p>

<p>If you're RD which makes more sense, I think they would take them, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>"only" a 4? You do know that's out of 5, right? A 4 is a good score on an AP test.</p>

<p>I was one of those people who had applied ED, but no interview call. I didn't call the Admissions Office, but an alumnus just called me five minutes ago for an interview on Friday. So, don't panic, fellow interviewless people. You have not been forgotten.</p>

<p>Skyway: Sorry for the confusion. I'm applying RD but I hope to have input from ED applicants. </p>

<p>Daveb: I feel that my profile lacks a strong science foundation (have not participated in any research or competition). That's why I was disappointed with my 4. I didn't mean to put down anyone who has a 4.</p>

<p>An alumnus called me today and scheduled my (phone) interview for Sunday. He seemed cool.</p>

<p>14 more dayssssssss</p>

<p>i hope they come out earlier than the 15th. dartmouth finds out the 14th for sure according to my friend.</p>

<p>Cornell applicants find out on the 14th, too. I'm not too keen on finding out in the middle of the week, though. It would be awfully difficult to go to school the next day if things don't turn out well.</p>

<p>i know what you mean, but at the same time i just want to find out ASAP. i'm tired of waiting.</p>

<p>Longer I wait, the more pessimistic I get...kinda just want the rejection already so I can move on</p>

<p>Except I don't think you want to be going through the process of applying to schools again...</p>

<p>I hear IVYs this year mostly will announce the 14th (cause the 15th is a saturday). but cornell is the 19th this year - how much does it suck to be them?!?!
(yeah a bit of schadenfreude here :-P)</p>

<p>No, Cornell is the 14th. My friend applied ED and got an email from them weeks ago saying that they would be announcing a day earlier than planned.</p>

<p>I haven't received my Data Confirmation Letter yet!!! Have you all received that? I think I need to give them a call..?</p>
