<p>Ok, so last summer I applied for the Brown summer program and was accepted, but since I didn’t get any financial aid, I was unable to attend. (I worked full-time as an intern in Chicago instead.) Will this harm my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>No.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reassuring message.</p>
<p>What does “10 c h ars” mean?</p>
<p>You must use at least 10 characters in the response, so simply “No.” can’t be an answer.</p>
<p>Thanks 
(Can you tell I’m a newbie?)</p>
<p>Yes, it says you joined September 2007 and that you have 14 posts under your name. And you have four threads already! That’s rather prolific.</p>
