keeshii768...............Are you for REAL??? If you need advice about having to decide between Brown and NYU, pleeeaaaase..... GO TO NYU........

justbreathe · March 29, 2007, 11:25pm

I've been lurking these boards for years. :) I had an account a while ago, but I totally forgot the username and password...

Decision: Accepted

Note: I'm actually a junior that applied early.

Stats:[ul]
[] Fee Waiver Used?: No
[] SAT I (by section): Reading 770 Math 800 Writing 700

[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[] ECs listed on app: Science Club President, School Newspaper Section Editor, City Newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Girls' Tennis, Volunteering at the Hospital(200+ hours)
[] Job/Work Experience: None yet
[] Essays (subject and responses): Race in the context of sociology. I argued, academically, that a lot of our stereotypes about ethnic performance in academics is actually more related to socioeconomic status, self-selection in immigration(those whose parents come on student visas versus political refugees, etc.), and the effect that stereotypes themselves have on individual performance.
[] Teacher Recs: Excellent.
[] Counselor Rec: I hear she's something of a flake, so probably not dandy.
[] Interview (feel, interviewer and general location): I actually don't think that went over that well.
[] Hook (TASP, RSI, Research, etc.): None
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]

[] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None
[] Strengths: My character.
[] Weaknesses: My extracurriculars
[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I wish I knew! My essay?[/li][/ul]Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: In general in life, I've found that what I thought was my first choice really wasn't. I'm often incorrect at first. This happened for middle school and high school, and now college. Though Brown wasn't my first choice at first, it became my first choice when I reserached it more. I was deferred elsewhere, which I'm glad about because now I can attend Brown. It's all about fit---it fits me well. So to any of you who were rejected, you're destined for something better elsewhere. Trust me.

I tend to wonder if some of us got rejected based on our intended majors. Cuz I really want to do journalism, but I know that Brown doesn't offer a journalism program. So perhaps it's best for me then...

justbreathe · March 31, 2007, 5:10pm

To quiXoticReveries, I applied in order to escape from home. Long story...

And to be on topic, congrats to everyone and I'm sorry for those rejected. Again, read my post, I'm sure it happened for a (good) reason!
