<p>i think the admissions process is so random that it doesnt matter if you have amazing grades/scores/etc...especially with ED, where brown defers 65% of its applicants. so yeah, it's annoying that we weren't accepted, but at least we have a second chance. instead of saying i was deferred, i like to look at it as, i haven't heard back yet.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, it really is a random proccess. That's a great way of looking at it though. Yay second chances! Heh.</p>

10

<p>deferred</p>

<p>4.09 w (school doesn't do uw and the highest w you can get is a 4.2)
4/235
from new jersey</p>

<p>(Note with the scores: I know they're low, even embarrassing; but I've never done well on standardized testing. Each time I get my score report back it says I omitted like 15, and I know that didn't happen b/c I double check. Something ALWAYS goes wrong. On a lighter note, my essays are always really well written and I always get high scores on them. Like for SAT II Writing I got a 11 on the essay, but sadly the multiple choice didn't work out so well)</p>

<p>good (at least I think it was) essay</p>

<p>Everyone keeps telling me that my "hook" is philosophy. I absolutely love it. I've taken classes online and written tons of essays. Many of them are published on the Esoteric Mystery School website. Philosophy is what links everything up for me. I spend all my free time curled up writing or reading philosophy and I go to every conference/lecture I can go to on philosophy or anything of that like. :)</p>

<p>wow I skipped a lot of that. :)</p>

12

<p>haha, yeah i know. sorry for the length. it's just in my case a lot of my stats are "blah blah not too good blah blah, BUT . .." plus, i guess it's the philosopher in me; always trying to provide some insight. :)</p>
