@browndirt2021 no way!!! I’m the top ranked freerunner at Tempest… I’m submitting a video so they know I’m serious about it. Idk if she got a higher SAT score on her last try bc she told me that score before her last time taking it so it could’ve been higher.
I think that the difference in acceptance between regular and early decision for brown is very difficult to calculate accurately, so your main deciding factor on where to apply early should be where you would most want to go, not where you think you have the best chance of getting in (especially when the choice comes between Brown and Harvard).
I went to a small school in Los Angeles, applied EA to my top choice and got in. Though there were some other factors that influenced my decision, when it came down to it, I applied early to the place I was most interested in.
@yalewhale2020 people have calculated the ED acceptance rate for Brown for unhooked applicants to be around 15%. I’m guessing your EA school was Yale, hence the username.
I have committed to applying to Brown ED.
no way @ap012199 I know some people at tempest!1 and what! @yalewhale2020 im at a small school in LA too–where did you go? how are you liking yale so far
@browndirt2021 It was really small…I don’t think you would have even heard of it lol. I am loving Yale. I moved in a few weeks ago and I definitely made the right choice. I loved the other schools I got into, but Yale was definitely the right fit for me now that I’m looking back.
thats awesome @yalewhale2020 im really into the gothic architecture, but i also really see myself as a brown kid tbh. its a tough call and the admit rates definitely play a role in the decision for me
@ap012199 what draws you to brown?
yeah I pretty much chose yale bc of the gothic architecture. what schools are you looking at @browndirt2021 ? do you want me to chance you?

@browndirt2021 wow lol who is this (Kai)?
I feel like you definitely do a lot, but your scores are a little low to be competitive for the schools you are applying to. I also feel like some admissions committees might question the legitimacy of some of your clubs/positions? But if you can play it off well i think you have a fair shot @browndirt2021
@ap012199 no, sorry 
@yalewhale2020 yeah im hoping to just not send my sat subject scores? ik brown doesnt care about them if u take the act. my essays are probably gonna be about my rise to power in student government, hopefully theyll find it authentic
ok definitely elizabeth @browndirt2021
lol
