<p>I am too lazy to c&p the results format thing, but I was accepted! I received a 2190 on the SAT and six 5’s on APs. Getting accepted was pretty awesome :-P</p>

<p>S was Wait Listed. Only student from his school to apply to an Ivy League. 32 act, 4.0GPA, #2/133, small rural public school down south. Wrote about saving a baby goat.</p>

<p>As a mom who couldn’t afford to send him to Brown (transportation costs alone would be prohibitive), I am so relieved. He wasn’t rejected from his favorite school of all time and I don’t have to say “no”. He can now accept his 2nd favorite school and be satisfied. His response to the wait list was… “I’ll Wait til graduate school, then I’ll be there!” :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Congrats to all accepted, it is an awesome school. I would like to go there myself. ;)</p>
