<p>[/ul]General Comments:
Holy ****. I wasn’t sure I was going to be deferred or rejected, but I knew it was unlikely I’d get accepted. Which I think is the better mentality to have. I’m pretty sure I would have felt fine if I didn’t get in, because I had some good other schools lined up to apply to, all supplements etc done. </p>
<p>Mostly I’m surprised, when I see how amazing other people are. There’s really nothing too amazing about me, I feel like. Or at least no starting businesses, no nothing like that. </p>
<p>How surprised I was: First I went on here, the site I absolutely despise for its insanely neurotic people, and checked to make sure they didn’t just send everyone acceptances. Then when I got home, I went through my application to make sure I didn’t accidentally put in the wrong numbers or something. Then I finally believed it.</p>
<p>I don’t know if its allowed, but if it is, I could show my essay and supplements. They don’t have enough personal information for anyone but Brown to identify me.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted</p>
