[li] Where else were you accepted/deferred:[/ul][/li]General Comments:
I thought, based on the numbers, that it might be the year for some of us to get lucky. BDH reported an increase in science/math apps, and a decrease overall. Good for MO language kid, right? Not with my class rank/freshman and early grades. If anything, it will help me set sights on a more realistic choice to transfer from. I was an easy reject, makes perfect sense. </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone that got in. You’ve accomplished so much and you deserve every ounce of success that you will have at Brown. To those deferred, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.</p>
