[QUOTE]
hmm...is it just me, or do a lot of these acceptances seem to be male?</p>
<p>damn the overeager female applicant pool.
[/QUOTE]
</p>
<p>You're right misspicaroon! I looked though the thread again and it seems the male accepted students outnumber the females about 2:1 (on CC, that is), though I could be wrong cause I'm delirious and have trouble focusing enough to even count.</p>
<p>Has Brown published admissions statistics for this year? I'm curious about the M:F ratio of the accepted students (and ultimately, the matriculating students).</p>
<p>Your conclusions are based on a very small sample of the applicant pool. My daughter was accepted. Overall -- according to their website -- Brown is currently 54% female...</p>

<p>[/ul]Other Factors: Somehow the Part II online (the essays) and the counselor's letter got lost or never reached there...because I got a letter in February about needing to send them in. I re-sent them, and had a 10-minute phone interview, but I guess it wasn't enough. Maybe that had something to do with it.</p>
<p>General Comments: Well, I got this one a couple hours after I got accepted to Yale...and it was just so funny to my poor stressed-out mind that I burst out laughing. I also got into Princeton today...so I don't think I'll be sending in that card. Bye-bye, Brown--no hard feelings (<em>goes and takes letter out to backyard to watch it burn in orange and black smoke under a blue and white sky</em>)</p>
