<p>Brown = reject</p>
<p>i was rejected straight by Northwestern. Now Brown seems even more surreal…</p>
<p>sigh I at one point had a smidget of hope but now i think i just set myself up for rejection. so march 31st is going to be a looooong day of sadness. </p>
<p>prepared to face rejection from = brown,cornell
really…no hope anymore</p>
<p>This thread is so depressing. Geez. I feel my own hope leaking away, and I was feeling good a minute ago…</p>
<p>Prepared to face imminent rejection from Stanford and upcoming rejection from Brown. :(</p>
<p>Hope has no place on Earth, unless you have reason to have it.</p>
<p>i think we need to pep up on here. sure its 8-9% but were all going to some amazing college if we applied to brown. cheer up and focus on the acceptances. life goes on. :)</p>
<p>^Yes it does. But the word “rejection” itself is a negative word. Even though they don’t actually “We reject you” – that is if the school isn’t Rice (lolling at the “Application status: deny” part) – you know that you’ve been “rejected.” </p>
<p>No one is happy when rejected.</p>
<p>i’ve gotten two rejections and i’ve been fine. not happy persay but take it instride. few people get in EVERYWHERE. and like i said we’ve all got somewhere. just cause its not an ivy doesnt mean its not amazing and perfect for you.</p>
<p>^I’m not happy per se either after one reject and one waitlist and I accept the fact that few people get in EVERYWHERE.</p>
<p>It’s just some dissapointment.</p>
<p>I approach it with a happy pessimism: “Hey, I probably won’t get in, and I’m cool with that.” This way, I wouldn’t be too disappointed with a rejection, and I’d be extremely elated and surprised at an acceptance. </p>
<p>I’ve gotten rejected from one school so far (and gotten into five), and although the rejection was one of my top three, I wasn’t too disappointed, since I didn’t expect to get in! (:</p>
<p>Keep you hope high guys. I have found the admission decisions rather random.</p>
<p>Accepted - UChicago, WUSTL, and four top Canadian universities
Waitlisted - Duke
Rejected - Amherst, (probably Williams), Northwestern, UC Berkeley (what?!)</p>
<p>I wish I applied to UChicago and WUSTL just so I’d have something to gauge against…the only other school I applied to that’s remotely like Brown in stats is Northwestern, and I got in, but it’s not Brown.</p>
<p>Crossing my fingers for March 31st</p>
<p>^Yea…Brown admissions will be competitive this year. </p>
<p>I don’t expect to get in at all. People have been saying 8% to 9%.</p>
<p>I don’t have hope for anything any more at this point.</p>
<p>@.serendipity</p>
<p>I meant Trinity U in San Antonio haha. But i just got rejected by JHU, so i’m not expecting much from Brown</p>
<p>Safety here i come</p>
<p>I was just waitlisted at JHU. Eh, not excited to hear from Brown on tuesday…</p>
<p>^Who is? Anyone in their right minds would be bracing for the worst. (Except for the genius or perfect student at your school who thinks he/she is inconquerable and collects admit letters from every top school … and still manages to pull it off when you expect his/her ego to get in the way) </p>
<p>Sorry bitter digression…</p>
<p>haha @ ab2013. :)</p>
