<p>I got in Boston College EA. I applied to Brown, as well as Yale, Dartmouth, Williams, UVA, UMich.
I guess I should have applied to Georgetown, but I was just lazy to do non common apps.</p>
<p>Well I hope I get into either Dartmouth or Brown. They are both great choices.
And I major in political science? Any polisci majors out there?</p>
<p>i'm sooo worried though cause I could only get one teacher rec... wrote something in the optional information bit about the situation... only have 4 teachers... headmistress made it really hard to get recs from teachers cause our system is completley different.... but argh soo scared its going to effect my application!!!!!</p>
<p>bnguyen, I'm planning on majoring in polisci too.</p>
<p>have any RDers received their Brown account so you can check your application status online? if so, when did you submit your app?</p>
<p>Nope, I was wondering the same thing. I submitted my app on the 23rd.</p>
<p>I'm planning on majoring in Economics...going the COE track. Anyone else here doing that?</p>
<p>I don't know, I've never visited Brown but I researched A LOT about it online and it seems like such a nice school and environment.
I also applied to NYU Stern, UC Berkeley, UCLA, MIT, and Stanford (HAHA -_-)</p>
<p>rejected yale EA, so brown is definitely a reach
also applied to cornell, columbia, jhu, tufts, uva, wash u, umd, bu, binghamton</p>
<p>my academic interests are history/art history/anthropology/sociology...and fashion design<<that is the explanation for the couple of seemingly out of place choices (namely cornell and wash u)</p>
<p>brown was awesome when i visited</p>
<p>anyone else not have these last SAT scores updated yet? Every other school got my SAT's but Brown still says one is missing. I'm hoping they just haven't got to finalizing everything yet (college board says they were sent).</p>
<p>jarsilver and Catalysis yeah i've been worrying about that as well, i applied on the 24th and still haven't gotten it.</p>
<p>i applied EA to UVM (safety, got into the honors college and got a scholarship), and UNC which im waiting to hear from.
i visited brown, and lived in RI for 13 years. i really think its a beautiful campus, and i like the free spirited nature along with its setting in a small city (love providence).
Im interested in premed, so perhaps some concentration in neurosciences, but i also have a strong interest in music or international relations. im leaning studying music and some premed orineted major that peeks my interest
Im also applying to upenn, duke, northwestern, dartmouth, tufts, and washu</p>
<p>Deferred Rice ED
Applied to: Stanford, Northwestern, Brown (obviously), Johns Hopkins, Upenn, UT Austin (admitted - backup)</p>
<p>beignet.... are we the same person? lol - cept didn't apply to some of those .. but dayum lol</p>
<p>Accepted: BC and Umass (commonwealth)
applied to: Bowdoin, Tufts, Colgate, Northwestern, Brown</p>
<p>accepted: On conditional offer from Cambridge UK [i need MONEY!!!]
applied also to: dartmouth, middlebury, carleton
rejected: williams ED [OUCH]</p>
<p>I'm praying hard...that Cambridge would not ask me to reply to their offer BEFORE brown release my application results. It might be likely, since the year before I remember the deadline fore replying decisions was...end of march. [dies. I need TIME]</p>
<p>Which reminds me, brown stated that results would be out by early april... but anyone know the accurate date or something?</p>
<p>beignet, seriously you're like my twin :D It's really kinda creepy...</p>
<p>I applied VIP to UVM and got Honors College w/ scholarship. Then I also applied to Kenyon, Pomona, Dartmouth, Cornell, Vassar, Oberlin, Claremont McKenna, Tufts, Williams, Macalester, and Notre Dame.....yea I know it's a lot. I couldn't narrow down my list! :)</p>
<p>^Reika: U got into Cambridge??????? Congrats! That's awesome. Of course, money comes first. Brown usu releases, like other RD schools, by April 1st. (could be earlier) </p>
<p>I'm applied for Brown with 1st concentration choice of Econ and 2nd choice as Math. </p>
<p>I applied ER to UMich and Michigan State and EA to Chicago. </p>
<p>Results:
Admitted: UMich, Michigan State w/ Honors College and partial scholarship
Deferred: UChicago </p>
<p>I'm also applying RD to Stanford, MIT, and this wonderful school. I'm expecting reject letters from all of these schools. </p>
<p>Oh well. I've mailed my app, so my destiny's been sealed. When the admission officers get it, they're gonna open it, look at my stats, and say, "What's this kid doing wasting postage stamps? ... yawn REJECT"</p>
<p>@ab2013: Thank you!!! Though, Cambridge acceptance rate is actually much higher than the top US universities. in 2007 it was 28% overall, compared to the ~10% range of harvard etc. And my high school has a track record of high acceptance from cambridge -- I'd guess it's probably 40% or something?</p>
<p>Be hopeful. Hope's a very wonderful thing.</p>
<p>^reika: You're welcome! That's true, but the average for international applicants at Cambridge is much lower than 28%. I read that e.g. Pembroke College in U Cambridge only accepts 6 US students each year. They're really selective. Last year, they took a kid from my school, but he was INSANELY smart. He was a genius, b/c he was a USAMO qualifier. (of course he did alot more than that)</p>
<p>I wanted to apply to a UK university (Cambridge was #1, Imperial #2) just for the sake of it, but I read it was a hassle (early deadlines) and I really didn't feel qualified. I read that if you don't have a 4.0, they won't even look at your app. Plus, it rains almost everyday in the UK.</p>
<p>@ ab2013: Really??? 'cuz last night, I heard that acceptance rate for internationals are in fact higher, since we...PAY. [UK schools are all poor and broke, with possible exception of UCL which is charging a ransom.]
I guess it's just more difficult for them to take in people from the SAT-focused part of the world? We do A levels, so it's much easier for me to get into a UK uni, while US uni... Brown is definitely a 'reach' school for me.</p>
<p>I'd say from personal experience that the UCAS form was much less of a hassle than the commonapplication form? less sections and things to write about, and the essay is easier to write. Though, it costs a BOMB to apply to cambridge.</p>
<p>It's easier to get into most UK schools as an international, but ab2013 is right about it being (much) harder when it comes to Oxbridge.</p>
