wide thicket

#

noble scarab
#

I try

#

Okok

wide thicket
#

noble scarab
#

IM.

#

OKAY

#

<3

wide thicket
#

positive reinforcement

noble scarab
#

Off topic bht can i ask what ur three words to describe yourself were (for the app)

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

Ya

#

If thats an ok thing to ask

round knoll
#

in retrospect its kind of dumb

noble scarab
#

Mine are “killer-queeeeen, gunpowder, gelatine”💀

wide thicket
#

cuz i don’t remember having to do that

noble scarab
#

For brown wasnt it

#

BYEE

#

is it rly new

#

Hm

wide thicket
#

they added new stuff this cycle

#

i only had 3 supps

#
  • a video
noble scarab
#

Ahh gotcha

wide thicket
#
  • a creative writing sample
noble scarab
#

HELLO WE HAD LIKE 8?

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

I hate college

wide thicket
#

what’s the meaning of gelatine

noble scarab
#

Its the song

#

Killer queen <3

#

I need ONE PERSON on the AO team to know ot

#

JUST

#

ONE

wide thicket
#

wait like

#

what does it mean tho

#

beyond just being the lyrics of a song

noble scarab
#

UM

#

UHHH

wide thicket
#

💀

#

no way

noble scarab
#

ITS OVER FOR ME

fiery night
wide thicket
#

so u just put 3 random words and called it a day?

#

im so confused

noble scarab
#

they were 3 words in a row in the song

fiery night
#

Describe

noble scarab
#

So it like symboilzes rhe meaning of the song in a way

wide thicket
#

no i get that but what’s the meaning of the lyrics

#

why is the song important

#

to you

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

That im a badass

wide thicket
#

or gaslight gatekeep girl boss

noble scarab
#

Thats basically the whole song

wide thicket
#

i see

fiery night
noble scarab
#

The lyrics rhat follow are “guaranteed to blow your mind, anytime”

wide thicket
#

im gonna be real idk if that was the best choice

#

but it’s ur essay

#

so do what u want

#

it just reads as confusing, even if you know the song

noble scarab
#

It probably is tbh

fiery night
#

Wait cat

wide thicket
#

if you like the song maybe mention it elsewhere, i wouldn’t recommend putting those words in an essay bc if you don’t know the song it legit looks randomly generated

#

and even if you do know the song it’s still like ‘ok so?’

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

But i do think if they know the song theyll get what i mean

wide thicket
fiery night
# wide thicket yes

If I used an uncommon acronym in my additional info and common app do you think I can use it for my 3 words

wide thicket
#

im not sure they would

#

bc what is the meaning of gelatine

noble scarab
#

Well im not sure of anything i just think they will

wide thicket
#

u would be better off choosing a song lyric that says something about you

#

rather than just hoping they think it’s a badass song

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

Gunpower + gelatine is like an explosive

#

And contrasts the killer and the queen

#

*gunpowder

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

Because shes a queen but also a killer

wide thicket
noble scarab
#

Thats kindq what the songs abt shes elegant like a queen but also a badass. So gunpowder ovviously is dangerous, gelatine is like a rich person food, and you combine them and it becomes an explosive

wide thicket
#

lmfaoooo

#

gelatin is not a rich person food

#

it’s literally in everything

noble scarab
#

girl it sounds fancy😭

wide thicket
#

it’s not

#

like

#

anyone with any food knowledge or any common knowledge knows it’s a low level food

noble scarab
#

Im just thinking of jello like who likes jello🙄

wide thicket
#

as in it’s cheap

#

i mean me

#

but you don’t explain that

#

bc it’s a 3 word essay

noble scarab
#

We cant explain

#

Yea

wide thicket
#

so you might as well write 3 words that don’t need explanation

noble scarab
#

So if someone knows the song, thetll probably know what i mean, but no guarantee

wide thicket
#

even if they know the song

#

it doesn’t actually do anything

noble scarab
#

And if they dont know the song theyll probably get a meaning from just the killer queen

wide thicket
#

idk how to explain it

#

it’s your application

#

you choose

noble scarab
#

I get what u mean dw

#

it's prob one of those things where it's just "if it's abominable you're fucked otherwise it's just cute"

dapper mango
#

decided to roll my qb app to brown ed

#

since i didnt match

noble scarab
#

gl bro

wide thicket
#

im a do your absolute best on every part of your application typa guy

#

but if you don’t care abt all the parts equally u do ur thing!!!

#

its ur application babes

wide thicket
#

i love the questies they’re the best people

#

good luck to u

dapper mango
wide thicket
#

brown questies are such a vibe

daring kite
#

Obviously you try on every question still but with 3 words it’s really not much more than a quirky novelty

daring kite
wide thicket
#

i wrote my college application telling myself that if i didn’t put 1000% into everything then i wouldn’t get in

#

also you do know college apps are basically splitting hairs right

#

especially at top schools

daring kite
#

Okay that’s great 👍but you don’t know how they evaluate the essay, even if they care a lot, who’s to say that changing it from one thing to another isn’t sure to make them like it more.

#

One AO might like someone doing something out there with the question and another might not

wide thicket
#

i would still put 1000% into it

#

imo life is all about intentionality

#

try ur best and the universe will reward u, either now or down the line

#

i was rewarded by getting into my dream school

daring kite
#

That is great for you and great that that’s how you do things but it’s just being pedantic to tell other people that this minor thing isn’t that good and they should change it tbh

wide thicket
#

or did you actively choose to disregard it

daring kite
#

Saying “You do you” after criticizing their choices is very condescending and doesn’t absolve you from anything you say lol. It’s like if I said “wow I personally would never wear that outfit cause it’s gross, but you do you! It’s your outfit!”

wide thicket
#

im not a perfect person

ebon moth
#

I feel better writing these essays knowing everyone’s struggling with the same things I am 😭

Only thing deterring me

hello

fiery night
fiery night
wide thicket
#

the stereotypes are true

wide thicket
#

it’s not the greatest but it’s cozy and community based

#

great libraries

wide thicket
#

remember it is optional so you can still get in without it

#

if any of yall ever need video advice feel free

steep wasp
#

cat what did you do for your brown video

#

i might just repurpose my uchicago video but like its unhinged which is fine for uchicago but brown might want someone with more mental stability-

fiery night
fiery night
wide thicket
#

basically okay so yk how im a creative writer

steep wasp
#

yes we love writers

wide thicket
#

at the start of the video i introduced myself as a magical realist writer

steep wasp
wide thicket
#

and i was like ‘if i was to write a story about my life, here’s how i would plan it’

#

and then I talked about the characters in my life (friends, family, teachers)

steep wasp
#

oh???? v interesting

#

did you like edit it to give that magical/fantasy feel or just regular video clips

wide thicket
#

and then i talked about the settings (dorm room, apartment, genshin impact world, minecraft world)

wide thicket
#

of my friends and i

#

and my family

#

and my apartment and stuff

#

and at the end i was like ‘the next chapter i wanna be at brown’

#

and i flipped a page on my notebook to signify the next chapter (corny asf)

steep wasp
#

awwww thats so cool

wide thicket
#

and the next page was a set of drawings i did where i designed new merch for brown

#

which is so fucking random

steep wasp
#

were all your essays and stuff related to writing or

steep wasp
wide thicket
#

sup 1 was about disagreements w my mother about sexuality stuff and learning to love her so much anyways

#

sup 2 was the ‘what brings you joy’ essay and i talked about cooking traditional Chinese food

#

and sup 3 was why brown so just basic boring stuff like i wanna enhance my writing by taking so and so classes

steep wasp
#

my essays are all about writing😭😭😭

ebon moth
#

Why are the shortest essays the hardest

tender trellis
#

fr lmao

#

the 50 word why brown got me tripping

#

does anyone know ed release date?

ebon moth
carmine sierra
#

How does the no gpa thing work when it comes to grad school apps?

drowsy cobalt
carmine sierra
#

Just hoping for someone who goes here to explain the no gpa thing in general too

drowsy cobalt
#

id assume its still possible to calculate a gpa if needed off those

#

you probably just couldnt s/nc all your classes if you plan to go to grad school

ebon moth
#

I can give the technical answer

#

In keeping with the spirit of the Open Curriculum, Brown does not compute students' grade point averages. If you have questions about how to complete applications for external opportunities (e.g., graduate or professional school, fellowships), please consult with an academic advising dean.

#

Not that it’s much help lmao

#

Read the whole page, maybe it’ll answer your question

carmine sierra
#

Thank you!!!

golden crypt
#

Im trippin balls rn im so nervous for ed decisions

wide thicket
golden crypt
#

I dont see a reason why id get rejected but it IS brown and its just so nervewraking like what ifs. “What if they just reject me off xyz”

vestal lava
#

yeah, that sounds like something brown would do

wide thicket
wide thicket
golden crypt
#

I feel like theyll not like my gpa

#

Or not like my essay

#

Or theyll reject me cuz i went test optional

ebon moth
#

I wish we got reasons for why

#

We get rejected

silver ginkgo
#

Does the brown video have to have like a thesis or is it just a 2min video showcasing who you are?

vestal lava
#

2 min video showcasing who you are

vestal lava
golden crypt
#

I mean i could

#

Its too late tho

vestal lava
#

yeah plus it’s below 25th percentile

#

nothing you can do anymore, whatever happens happens

wide thicket
#

i have a friend who misspelled the first word of his commonapp essay and didn’t send a video and got in

#

bro spelled diabetes ‘diebetes’

dapper mango
#

thats not that bad lmaoo

wide thicket
#

he happened to bump into the AO who screened his and the AO told him he remembered it because it was bad and they allegedly laughed about it in the office

#

he got into brown because he has won several national awards also 1600

dapper mango
wide thicket

noble scarab

wide thicket

wide thicket
noble scarab

dapper mango
noble scarab
#

i just finished basically all my apps already 😭

vestal lava
noble scarab
#

i EA'd some schools so im not a fake!

rich mist
noble scarab
dapper mango
#

i ended up picking brown cuz my parents dont like how rural dartmouth is

rich mist
#

being exposed to both big city then rural

dapper mango
rich mist
noble scarab
#

and i talked to a dartmouth AO about it its probably okay but still

rich mist
#

dartmouth-hitchcock is a nice hospital which also has im pr sure stacked technology bc they conduct research there

rich mist
#

also…. i think i’m more delusional abt mit 😔

silver ginkgo
#

thats just what im worried abt...

#

cause i really like brown but making a video of myself makes me nervous

stiff nexus
stiff nexus
#

for me i did it

#

cuz im doing ED

#

i mean doing a vid early looks good ig?

#

cuz im rlly committed in my mind lmao

silver ginkgo
#

thats fair, i might just do the video

stiff nexus
#

plus u can do it however ur want

silver ginkgo
#

idk if im gonna apply to brown anyway but i really like it 😭

silver ginkgo
stiff nexus
#

#

hey cat what is the open curriculum like? it sounds cool but im worried it'll be too unstructured for me

wide thicket
silver ginkgo
#

hi 😭

brazen ferry
#

they dont have gpas

wide thicket
#

so the open curriculum means there are no core requirements at brown so every semester you can theoretically choose 4 random classes

brazen ferry
wide thicket
#

i have some friends in 4 classes from 4 different concentrations

wide thicket
#

so they can only do so many 'fun' courses

#

mostly everything else is requirements

#

you can choose how much structure you wish to imbue into your own schedule

#

for me its extremely liberating

#

next semester i want to take early modern philosophy, theory of mind (both phil classes), astronomy (physics class) and intro to poetry (lit arts class)

wide thicket
#

but if you want to apply to grad school afterwards u will need to calculate a gpa

#

im pre-law so ideally i want a 4.0 or higher

silver ginkgo
brazen ferry
wide thicket
#

next semester i think

wide thicket
#

i dont udnerstand how people can only have 1 interest it boggles me

#

i want to do everything

#

next year i wanna take visual arts 100 which is the prerequisite class to taking classes at RISD <3

silver ginkgo
#

was it hard to sign up for classes or is it easier because theres no gen eds?

wide thicket
silver ginkgo
wide thicket
#

there are some classes which are extremely competitive to get into

#

mainly because upperclassmen fill them first

#

and sometimes they can only have like 20 students

silver ginkgo
#

ohh

#

is that like the premed classes and stuff?

wide thicket
#

but at the beginning of each semester we have this thing called 'shopping period' which lasts 2 weeks--bsically you can sit into any class, even if ur not signed up

#

and ask the professor to let u in

wide thicket
#

those are almost always uncapped classes

#

uncapped means there is no limit to students

#

they're like big lecture classes

silver ginkgo
#

oh wow

wide thicket
#

the classes which are more competitive tend to be in the humanities

#

especially literary arts classes

#

you need to submit a writing sample to get into those

#

im currently working on my poetry samples so i can get into intro to poetry <///3

silver ginkgo
#

is there a reason theyre so competitive? just popular?

silver ginkgo
wide thicket
silver ginkgo
#

i believe in u

wide thicket
#

and upperclassmen get to register first

#

but it means what u dont get as a freshman u will get eventually

#

we're just bottom feeders rn

silver ginkgo
#

lol ya

wide thicket
#

im thinking abt taking a class on dostoyevsky some year

#

its under the russian dept

#

its taught in english tho thank god

silver ginkgo
#

omg i was gonna ask

#

learning russian sounds cool too but i might just focus on spanish

#

i just really like learning about cultures for some reason

wide thicket
#

do u think u might wanna dual degree?

wide thicket
#

thats cool

silver ginkgo
#

i think if i did i'd probably dual degree in like computational bio and spanish

#

cause i really wanna be fluent

wide thicket
#

one of my good friends is a comp bio major!!!!!

#

hes the coolest person ever

silver ginkgo
#

omg how does he like it

wide thicket
#

jazz saxophonist, cs nerd, also enjoys ice hockey for fun

wide thicket
#

there's a freshman only class called 'phage hunters'

#

where they search for new bacteriophages

hes naming it after his roommate

vestal lava
mystic meteor
#

barely holding on

steep wasp
vestal lava
#

no

#

but i know people who did

mystic meteor
#

my video was straight ass

#

i talked about my favorite math textbook for two minutes and it was the worst thing i've done to date

#

💀

#

my ass had 8 hours to submit

silver ginkgo
#

Tbh ur so real for that

mystic meteor
#

i randomly opened the portal on a sunday night at 1 am and realized they wanted the video by 7 days after sending the app in or smth

#

pulled up with the last-minute grind

#

0 edits just some dumbass mic'd up about michael spivak's calculus 4th edition 💀

#

It's true. That textbook is fire.

#

If you haven't read it, read it.

#

it's basically scripture except for everybody fr

vestal lava
#

you’re a fucking nerd

silver ginkgo
#

HELP

mystic meteor
#

😔

silver ginkgo
#

😭

#

I love ur passion for the textbook tho

mystic meteor
#

the thing is math can be so fucking boring

#

but when the information source, person, book, or video, is actually engaging and is in dialogue with you as the learner

#

Internal peace. Enlightenment. Satisfaction.

#

i was thinking of repurposing my uchicago video but it is fucking unhinged

mystic meteor
#

based

steep wasp
#

silver ginkgo
#

thats like how i love jane austen novels but most ppl probably think they’re boring

mystic meteor
#

😔

#

honestly s/nc classes are good but also to challenge yourself i wouldn't recommend doing more than 1

also writing workshops >>>>

#

if it's content that you find extremely difficult or that you're worried your grade might take a hit i'd say just do s/nc

#

For fellow Brown students— do y'all know how to access admission documents? I know that the copies of it are on ASK but I'm curious to see the AO's comments, and I heard it's only available for a short period of time during January

wide thicket
#

wait so at the beginning of the year a few friends and i went to the campus center to ask if we could view the comments on our admissions documents

#

and they told us that they weren't allowing students to see them anymore

hidden heart

i'm thinking about trying in maybe january

wide thicket
wide thicket
