<p>Brown, Yale, Tufts, Georgetown, UPenn, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, UVA, state schools. Planning on majoring in international relations, political science, or public policy at any school. </p>
<p>Also, anyone else freaking out? I’ve stopped sleeping.</p>
<p>ilanaweisman, I’m not sure why I’m so surprised, but no UChicago for what you want to major in?</p>
<p>It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p>Brown asked for the predicted IB/AP scores for ED couple of days ago. Is this usual?</p>
<p>@col2017: No, it is not usual. Actually quite unusual, at least by the CC community standards.</p>
<p>RELAX. Assuming that you self reported available AP/IB scores in common app already, I would venture, it can only mean that you are getting a real serious look; More importantly your application is probably * not in the 1st-read reject-or-defer stack piles * already (despite impeccable credentials, most end up there simply because of Brown’s super-selectivity). Wish you all the best!</p>
<pre><code>Best case = 1st read admit loose ends;
Worst case = committee deliberations.
</code></pre>
<p>ps: CC’s usefulness is severely limited in atypical cases. I am also curious about your earlier “self-fulfilling prophecy” post. I will PM you, if you wish to discuss off-line.</p>
<p>@col2017: Does your high school GC send 1st quarter report? If not, that might be the reason why Brown asked for the predicted IB/AP scores instead. If yes, then you should be happy that Brown is super interested in you.</p>
<p>@plme21. Self-fulfilling prophecy. Just a reply to someone that is gearing himself for a rejection only to decrease the potential pain.</p>
<p>No quarterly grades so they just wanted predicted scores on IB/AP.
May mean a borderline case or final confirmations.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m applying to brown engineering ed and am super nervous/anxious just like everyone else here! is anyone here applying ed to the engineering school at brown?</p>
<p>When will they send the emails out!!?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>I’m quite excited!</p>
<p>One week, guys. It’s JUDGMENT DAY.</p>
<p>Just reread one of my short answers and I saw that I used the word “major” instead of “concentration”. Ouch.</p>
<p>I go onto this site every time I want to procrastinate and not do work. </p>
<p>Does Brown send out acceptance/rejection emails, or do we log onto our Brown accounts to check?</p>
<p>@hevydevy: It’s ok, I just saw that I ended one of my supplements with “b” instead of “be.” :’( DEAD.</p>
<p>@eweiss56: Yeah, I applied ED to the School of Engineering! Hopefully there aren’t too many of us…</p>
<p>@Snickers: It’s via the Banner system (selfservice.brown.edu). You’ll probably get an email soon telling you when decisions will be available.</p>
<p>My D got email today saying below. She submitted mid-october and had interview several weeks ago. Fingers crossed – but she is not waiting to apply RD decision to other schools. Has submitted 8/9 apps plus arts supps already! Good luck to all here!</p>

<p>Columbia’s and Dartmouth’s Official ED Results are in. Time to convince myself that it doesn’t pertain to me and Brown’s applicant pool that so many qualified students got rejected from those schools this year…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Tawarren95, lots of qualified students get rejected at all the top schools; there just aren’t enough spots available for the cream of the 1.5 million high schools who graduate every year. The question you should be asking yourself is: are you a good fit for Brown? People who are a good fit for Brown are not necessarily a good fit for those other institutions.</p>
<p>Yes, I know. My point was simply that it’s a tough year at other schools (and it gets tougher and tougher) and seeing other qualified students get rejected or deferred is a bit unsettling. Of course, many qualified students have been rejected and many will be in the future.
I’ve just been telling myself that Dartmouth is not Brown, and Columbia is not Brown; comparing will just freak me out until the big day comes.</p>
<p>Do we check our Brown decisions with the same website/login information that we used to check our application status? I haven’t received any other information from Brown about decisions.</p>
<p>@Bluesky: yes, you do. On the 12th at 5pm, you should be able to log in the same way and see your decision.</p>
