<p>Brown looks at your application in context. Admissions knows that students usually don’t have a choice of what HS they can attend, so they don’t hold your HS against you. They want to know that you can handle the work – and that’s usually where your standardized test scores come in. What matters is whether you took advantage of what your HS offers, that you took the most rigorous curriculum.</p>
<p>Brown financial aid just sent me an email asking me for my parents’ tax returns. They said it was irrespective of any decision. Did everyone get this? Does it mean anything?</p>
<p>Snickers495, strange, since Brown only wants CSS Profile (or so I thought?). UChicago’s EA thread just got done with this long debate of whether or not it means anything. Take it as a good omen but nothing more! Especially since Brown bothered to let you know it’s irrelevant to admissions.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! I know I’m really nervous right now, but just remember that whatever happens is meant to be. Also, is there an official ED results thread yet?</p>
<p>Hey Brown kiddos! I saw that your results are coming out in less than 24 hours! So exciting. Good luck guys! I can empathize with your anxious stress (Stanford SCEA applicant - our results come out on Friday!); however, you guys definitely have handled it better than us over on the SCEA Stanford thread. hehe. </p>
<p>Have a good evening/tomorrow! good luck good luck good luck good luck</p>
<p>I’m freaking out!!! It is so hard to concentrate on finals right now…and forget about other applications. I kind of feel like the dog from up, except instead of yelling “squirrel” my head yells “brown!”</p>
<p>I am so freaking out…The worst thing is that the tendency to expect even when hopeless is embedded in our genes…So I ended up “torturing” myself…</p>
<p>Haha, I was going to work on RD apps, but my laptop died - it won’t turn on anymore, and it had a bunch of my RD essays on it…this is really not helping because now i am SO hoping for brown :(</p>
