<p>Caltennis, you wrote in your “chance me” thread for Notre Dame, that you applied to many schools. That’s fine for Early Action @ Notre Dame, but Brown is not an EA application. If you’re asking for chances to get into Brown (ED) while also applying EA elsewhere, I’d say it’s 100% ZERO. Brown distinctly tells its ED applicants to not apply EA if you apply ED there.</p>

<p>limabeans: I’m allowed to apply to both since I’m applying through a special program that allows me to do so. I’m fully aware of the rules regarding EA and ED.</p>

<p>If you have a problem with my threads just ignore them and don’t post anything on them.</p>

<p>hey there caltennis. It’s me again. As soon as I clicked off last night, I realized the Questbridge aspect. I don’t have any issue about your query, but I was surprised to see 1)that you were undecided at this time of the application process and 2) that you applied to both. But I got that figured out…sorry. I’m guessing, esp since you’re from S Cal that you haven’t visited. The two schools are quite different in many respects, but both are terrific. As a QB finalist and as a strong student, I’m sure you’ll have many choices. Good luck!</p>
