dusky ivy

warm gorge
#

just remembered that my optional vid was literally me ranking books that i read. going to kms

#

this is what happens when you get covid for the last 3 weeks before the supp is due

dusky ivy

#

yeah maybe if it wasn’t an ivy league school with a 2 min video time limit 😭😭

#

idk what i was thinking

dusky ivy

good script

#

horrible execution

my voiice conveys 0 emotions

i made it for brown

#

so if i end up going to brown that'd be very ironic

dusky ivy
#

lmao fax

native river
#

is brown truly need blind?

native river
#

I’m just in the middle so idk💀

#

def willing to pay for an Ivy though

brown likelies are out

right

vague mural
#

what r brown likelies

native river
#

only about a fifth of the accepted applicants get one

vague mural
#

i did not know they did that 😭

native river
#

usually for athletes or specific program/scholarship applicants

#

it’s very rare

#

like prob RISD applicants would get it

#

if they were indeed likely

#

i almost did RISD but ehhhh

sonic edge
#

Who got em tho!? Cuz haven’t seen anything about brown likelies yet!?

dusky ivy
#

It’s an incredibly small number of ppl who get em 🤷‍♂️

#

how big of a deal is the video

gaunt sage
#

i mean,ao's want to see that ur excited/interested in the university

#

when u leave smth like that blank, imo it shows that u aren't completely interested in the uni

#

but among the ppl submitting the video, i doubt that it will be a big factor

open olive
#

aight

#

you think a good essay can somewhat cover for the lack of one?

lusty lion
#

A bunch of people have gotten in without one

wide stratus
#

Hey! Have a friend interested in brown plme, I’m a cs major myself so have no clue how this kind of thing works. Anyone here apply? How competitive is it it and what advice/tips do you have?

open olive
#

Didnt apply but I know its extremely competitive

#

2% acceptance rate

#

and the applicants are prob more qualified than the ones to brown as a whole

#

Pretty sure its possible to get rejected from PLME but get accepted to brown as a whole, too.

#

in case he isnt aware of that

#

im not sure if that would release you from an ED agreement (rejected from PLME but accepted brown,) if brown is his top choice and he's considering ED i'd definitely figure that out

fervent zodiac
#

Classmate of mine got in ED rejected plme

open olive
#

and he had to go?

#

that is actually cringe wtf

cinder fable
#

most unis with programs like that have an option for whether you'd like to be considered for regular admission in ED too

#

penn does, at least. if you apply to m&t and get rejected from it, you can choose whether you'd want to apply binding admission to seas/wharton or not

wide stratus
#

Oh god I knew it was going to be compatible but not that competitive.

#

I think my friend was interested in it bc she wants direct admit to medical school? Or however it works.

#

She’s looking at Case John Hopkins and some other highly competitive schools.

#

Idk if it’s her top choice yet, probably going to tell her to ED there tho.

#

bruh someone i know got into brown medical this cycle😭😭

#

im pretty sure.. tbf i don’t actually know this person, i just know of them LMAO

sinful tusk
#

a friend of mine at my high school got into brown plme ED, was suprised bc last year she told me she wanted to go to harvard

halcyon rapids
#

brown plme > harvard premed

sinful tusk
#

told me she didn't want to take the MCAT so she applied to brown instead

#

hshs

#

not suprised she got in though

#

she was very, very cracked

#

had a frightening level of intelligence

#

@halcyon rapids

halcyon rapids
#

hope she enjoys brown

sinful tusk
#

like why do ppl like that seem so much "smarter"?

dusky ivy
#

Personally I’d say they just have more drive to be “smart”

#

Obv there’s an element of talent but I know that if I really did what I had to do when it needed to be done then I’d probs be much better off

fervent zodiac
#

feels like hard work hasn’t gotten me anywhere but the dumps

dusky ivy
#

Part of talent is the mindset ig

#

Like on some Kobe shit except u don’t feel like touching grass

halcyon rapids
dusky ivy
#

Yeah forgot to mention economic and geographic factors matter a lot

sinful tusk
#

I always thought it's more about environment and mentality

#

like how korean students are naturally more inclined towards academics even when fully ignoring income

#

how they approach problems and find solutions is very much different

dusky ivy
#

well that would be a geographic factor then

#

school systems are different

#

where I grew up made me more inclined to cramming and just knowing as much info as possible so im pretty good at exams but wen i moved here the methodology was comppletely different

#

although i objectively knew more than a lot of my classmates i didnt do as well till i adapted

#

id say the more important of the 2 is actually economic

#

its hard to understand it from a different pov but having teachers that dont care, a school with abysmal funding and an environment where u have to worry bout a lot more than how to get to school in the morning would supress ur intelligence a lot more

dusky ivy
fervent zodiac
dusky ivy
#

Yes ppl succeed coming from horrible positions but I’d say that person has a certain level of intelligence/ drive that they’d have exponentially more success with more opportunity seeing as they’re the exception not the rule

#

It’s not just a matter of if u want it you’ll get it

lmao I didn’t get a likely but browns med school looked my mom up on linkedin after I applied plme 🥲🤣

#

I’m telling myself it means nothing 🥹

lusty lion
#

They're interested in you 😜 (or at least your mom!)

dusky ivy
#

😭

sonic edge
#

Are you a recruited athlete, btw!?

iron sun
#

wait can you see on linkedin who looks at your profile?

foggy geyser
#

Yeah! Every once in a while, linkedin will send a notif and be like “here’s who looked at ur profile” u can also find it in the notifs section of the app

#

So for my mom, Warren Alpert med school was one of the viewers 🤡

sudden anchor
#

Does standardized test show up on you guys' brown portal

#

i submitted ACT for my application but i dont see it on the portal

I'm kinda braindead for using my linkedin premium too early

*Without premium, you can still see who looks at your profile as long as you have your visibility set such that others can see if you look at their profile.

I’ve been going insane and I did the chance mes on Reddit and college confidential and one guy was like ur getting in everywhere EXCEPT BROWN

im too scared to do a chanceme

#

i feel like they'll dig into me

native river
#

i did a DM one

#

they made me realizing smth i fucked up majorly on an app 💀 it's been eating me alive ever since but at least i was able to maybe fix it, if AO ever sees it

#

they're also stupid. cause i said "i live in Dumbfuckistan" to say that i live in an area whose avg ACT is like an 18 so i stand out more (as opposed to like boston or NY)

and they were like "ok since you're an international from Dumbfuckistan..."

fringe drift

They are crazy

my friend got a W&M likely too, got in yesterday

I got in yesterday too! I’m still in shock

warm swan

impossible to get into

dusky ivy
#

Ye I’d imagine

little mauve
#

so is it worth eding to brown at all

#

i would 100% go if i got in ed & i think it would be a huge reassurance to have the college process Done by like dec but idk if i should

lament shell
#

do you need aid?

exotic egret

so you can get in early

Ugh why is Brown asking for more finaid documents 😭

exotic egret

lusty lion
exotic egret
#

No portal astrology

#

Fin aid and admissions often work separately

#

Send in the docs so hopefully if u get in they can send u ur fin aid info w it

lusty lion
#

You're probably right but they're also an international student so maybe there's something? Idk

regal dove
#

oh yeah I wasn't trying to do portal astrology lol mb

#

just can't fill out any more documents 😩

exotic egret
#

oh i get it

#

got sent fin aid req from one of my schools mid february and nearly died

regal dove
exotic egret
#

that’s what I heard from brown applicant friend

regal dove
#

I think they did that in the ED round didn't they

#

so it's possible

lusty lion
#

Yeah they released Ed 5 days after ivy Ed day

regal dove
#

Hopefully they don't do that again

#

The anxiety would kill me

warm swan

lmao

tropic sigil
#

yeah i sent the exact same video to uchicago and brown

wraith drum
#

i mean

#

i started and ended by naming the school

#

so that was largely the only part i changed

tropic sigil
#

thats fair

wraith drum
#

uchi i added some more detail abt smth and a joke abt some alumnus

tropic sigil

i probably shouldve done that but i didnt bother to lol

#

i only really have interest in 6 ivies.. is it bad i applied to all 8 so i could spin the wheel 😭

wraith drum
#

😭

#

if u put sufficient thought and effort into every app i see no shame in shotgunning

tropic sigil
#

tbf the 2 i dont have interest in are harvard/princeton with the lowest rates anyways

warm swan
#

but i got scared

wraith drum
#

the reason i only did 3 ivies was i knew i couldnt do the apps well

warm swan
#

bc of the “where fun goes to die”

tropic sigil
wraith drum
#

uchicago made that slogan themselves

#

to scare people

#

they put it on tshirts

tropic sigil
wraith drum
#

and handed them out

tropic sigil
#

im scared of it

wraith drum
#

i wrote abt it in my why uchi essay

warm swan
#

the school is awesome tho

wraith drum
#

me personally i find iinvigorating academics fun

warm swan

I've been to New Jersey once or twice in my life and I barely remember it 😭

Love the risd connection as an artist

New Jersey is just suburbs as far as the eye can see

Literally

summer rapids
#

We’re split in half between Philly and NYC

#

Especially with sports it sucks

How do you guys even like Philly at all

#

All they gave you was Camden

EXACTLY IDFK

#

cheesesteaks only saving grace tbh

#

Jersey city is actually nice

#

I’m NYC fan 100%

#

Only Ivy I didn’t apply to was Upenn out of spite 👏

Jk just didn’t like them

summer rapids

#

I had to apply for wharton. Besides that UPenn is the saddest Ivy

exotic egret
#

Should have applied to one more Ivy

summer rapids
#

Agreed

#

Brown or UPenn

#

UPenn so I had three chances at going to swarthmore

#

Nah I wouldn’t have done well with the Open Curriculum

summer rapids
#

Brown >>>

#

Idk tho

stark basin
#

I didn't apply to brown

#

Because brown grads make no money

#

Open curriculum and the school itself is nice but it doesn't seem to network as well as other Ivys

#

And not great for jobs in finance

No essays was the reason I got deferred from NEU tbh

#

They get too many apps

So they don't read them or they yield protect

i did all my US applications last minute af so i didnt have time to do a couple of the schools i really wanted to apply to
mainly rice, duke, dartmouth, and penn

Yeh and just like as long as you’d like to attend them

But thanks yall I feel better now lol

I had VT as a safety and then everyone got rejected or waitlisted and I felt bad for telling ppl it was my safety

#

one of my so called "targets" ended up waitlisting me. guess it wasn't a target after all

exotic egret
#

Unfortunately some schools like VTech and UCD can no longer be considered safeties in state

fringe drift
#

Yeah I got in but I felt bad cause a lot of ppl who had way better stats than me got rejected or waitlisted

exotic egret

#

But my major was also super uncompetitive so

exotic egret
frosty palm
#

how much do y'all know about canadian universities

#

cuz i'm contemplating whether or not going to brown (assuming I get in, which is a huge assumption but still lmao) is worth it over some of the schools here

tropic sigil
#

i literally know nothing, wish i could help

#

not sure if anyone here is familiar with em

exotic egret
#

I don’t know anything either

frosty palm
#

yeah I wouldn't expect people to lmao, no worries

exotic egret
#

wish we could help

tropic sigil
#

i do know that brown is awesome and cool though. that's all i know

frosty palm
#

ye brown is one of my top choices

#

I can't help but feel like maybe part of that is just cuz it's an ivy league and I'm a bit of a prestige whore

exotic egret
#

yea I also worry

#

That I’ve ranked my list based off prestige

#

Even my non Ivy top choice is a WASP

#

idk that’s how it rolls though my family wouldn’t allow me any “less” and I’d be happy at any of the schools I’ve not heard back from m except one

frosty palm
#

yeah idk man
honestly i should prolly stop worrying about it cuz i'm most likely not getting into most of my US choices 😂
i can make decisions when I actually have options to decide between

tropic sigil
#

sometimes i wish they gave us till like may 15th because its gonna be hard af to choose in just a month

exotic egret
#

I mean

#

i already sorted mine into tiers

tropic sigil
#

like based on how much you wanna go?

exotic egret
#

Yeah

tropic sigil
#

whats your full list anyways? if youre comfortable with sharing ofc

#

im curious

exotic egret
#

Financial aid will also make decisions for you

#

Sure

#

Yale Princeton Swarthmore Harvard Columbia UMich Tufts Lehigh URoch BU Bryn Mawr NEU Drexel instate flagship

tropic sigil

#

i hate my state flagship lol

exotic egret
#

yeah me too

#

But then I got rejected LMFAO 🤣 can’t go even if I wanted to

tropic sigil
#

my state literally has 0 colleges i like 😭

exotic egret
#

i just don’t want to be close to home

#

Like I have an ideal distance

#

I can’t handle being expected to go back every 2weeks

#

Revisit days will also do a lot for deciding what schools I’d like to go to

#

I would like to only do three though (if I get that many)

#

None of my tiers are bigger than three colleges anyway lmfao

Waitlisted from case too

Me neither ❤️

I think most ppsp rejects were waitlisted

#

i feel like ppsp and waitlist are correlated

#

bc i was so confused about waitlist

west rose
#

Cause case thinks that the only reason you applied to their school is because of ppsp

foggy geyser
#

One advantage abt Plme is that there’s no tiring process beyond the video and three essays

fervent zodiac
#

i thought i had a chance

west rose
#

And since we didn’t get in, they assume we don’t care about attending case

fervent zodiac
#

lmfao

west rose

So yield protection

Honestly I think it’s stupid bc case is losing a lot of good quality ppl by making ppl basically re apply

fervent zodiac

i think we j got yield protected

lmao

like why would u reject ppsp people

#

or waitlist all of them

fervent zodiac

yeah that’s actullay wild

i wrote 2 essays for ppsp

and then a stupid loci

and still waitlist

#

I didn’t like the vibe of Duke cause my friends sister went there and was bullied so much she fell into deep depression

#

He didn’t tell anyone about it but me, but that was enough for me to decide not to apply

Omg that’s so sad nobody should ever be subjected to that especially when college is so new for everyone

I applied to duke for fun
