he talks about you in extremely high regard
too high tbh
hes like 'i have this friend and hes REALLY good at agp'
we don't need a cult starting
he's talking about the girl to my left 💀
she's greek
and philosophic
and very much cares about everything plato and aristotle has ever said hahahahah
he says shes very smart too
i think he said she's the smartest person in the entire class
oh she's probably better than me in terms of philosophy
and puts a lot more effort into the class
and my other friend was like 'z you havent even spoken to everyone in the class how would you know' and z was like 'shes literally greek'
i don't put enough effort into the class tbh because i'm not that fond of the professor and the way she structured the clas
can i be vulnerable
i hate her so much
HAHAHAH
at least you're not in her discussion section 💀
we get marked down about 6 points more on average
according to the data from the first essay
dude yeah
cuz i got a 93.5 and i heard the hgihest score in urs was 92
😭
like thats crazy
it's not even that which pisses me off but rather that she just doesn't care about the philosophical content
she literally turns the class into a text analysis
oh really?
like please
this isn't a bible study
why can't we talk a bit more about the themes
'i go about life considering what is virtuous <3' like
i was not aware that someone can make philosophy boring
be so forreal
no becuse i love philosophy so frigging much
my favorite thing in the whole world
and the class makes me want to ide
die*
i mean that's fine but also the fact she cares so much about what aristotle said instead of using that frame in application to build something
same!
also why is the final exam so unneccesssarily difficult
also she doesnt clarify anything
i feel confused after i leave every class
i'll do that today!
i have no idea what im doing in the class
i (and everyone else) would appreciate it so much more than u know
also z said u guys were studying thurs
may i please pull up?
oh sure!
same tbh
like
i'm taking phil0652 rn and that class
the professor is just
FUN
so imagine how i feel every agp class when i literally leave phil0652 and 10 minutes later have agp
thank u so much. i am STRUGGLING.
which class is that!!
dude phil 1735 is SO GOOD TOO
metaphysics
my favorite class by leaps and bounds
going to that class is sometimes the highlight of my day
continental philosophy
im currently writing a 16 page essay for it
at least it's not just analyzing a boring text right
we dont have any texts
we just talk
EXACTLY
THATS WHAT IT SHOULD BE
and the universe
fuck why did i not take that
for metaphysics
who is it
is doing a class next sem
called theory of mind
or something
the female AGP TA told me its one of the best phil classes ever
oh he's teaching phil of mind next semester
yes
AW
thats what its called
he was like 'dont call me professor pautz thats weird and icky'
YOU SHOULDDDDD
why not phil of mind
next sem
:O
because it's all occupied and shopping period is gonna be hella crowded and waitlist 💀
i mean
there's gonna be like
500 people shopping phil 1660 probably
HAHAH
wait wait wait......
so adam is my academic advisor
and he told me
as long as i show up he'll let me in
your
so u should just come w me to shop
YESSUH
NEPOTISM
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
OKAY OJAYYYYYYY!!!!
RAHHHH <3
what other classes are u in
are u doing early mod
nope! might do phenomenology of time
btw sorry for not getting back to u on insta my phone is 2% rn and im using it for spotify
will probably do moral theories
oooooo
oh?
sounds like you should charge it 💀
1430 i think
im at the rock and no charger
im going to vdub in a bit which is where i live
so imma charge it there
oh wait i'm about to go to vdub
i'm in keeney
theres red velvet cupcakes <3333333333
💀

NO
yk i was sleeping over at keeney that night
and my friend was like 'i promise its not always like this'
i heard it was in EP...
oh yes i will delete this message but did you know our keeney ac sits like
2 to the write
YES
Z TOLD ME
isnt he like
*2
the supervisor
*right
dude
yup he is
the dude with glasses
so i file all my complaints in class directly to him
hipster vibes?
HAHAHAHHAAHHA
thatso silly
how does he feel about AGP
he's cool though
he seems to be fine with it but then again he's taking it purely out of interest
is he a senior?
nope
not a student even
but i think employees of the university can just take classes and the university pays for it
pretty good thing
oooooo
awwww
good for him :]]]]
yeth
naur
i am not
i didnt join it because i was so nervous
befor ei came to brown i had this weird thing where i thought interacting with anything brown related would be too overwhelming
salvaged the humanities channel
basically
like 3 of us forced them to create a humanities channel
and i had to ask a qotd everyday to keep it alive
because like
out of 600 people in that server there are maybe 5 humanities kids who talk
and it's just sad
that server has died now basically except for the cs kids talking about cs 💀
WHAT????????????
😭
babes im the ultimate humanties student
i love humanties so much
wait hwat are u majoring in
or thinking abt
lit arts / philosophy
maybe complit
but also i love pretty much anything humanities
history anthropology sociology even theology
WAIT
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DUALLING IN
holy guacamole
well
i might do phil / english lit or phil and complit
im currently in 3 phil classes and 1 clps class tho so i gotta start on the litr grind
litr is 4 workshops and a bunch of non lit arts theory classes 💀
phil is also 2 non lit arts classes
…😆
I think it’s you can do two, but lit arts actually has requirements for classes from other departments
its 10 reqs in total right
including electives
yep!
phil is 8-10 non lit arts classes 😌
oki slay
Did yall make the optional video?
yup
just talk about you
introduce urself, ur hobbies, what you love
ur family
friends
Nope
But I’d recommend just do what feels yourself
Do we wanna talk about stuff not in the app or specifically expand on what’s in the app??
ummm
i think u can do well with either
me personally
i just talked abt my family, friends
i did talk abt writing
which was my perosnal statement topic
babe i will actually send mine if u wanrt
OKAU BOSS!!!!
send me urs too :D
i need to finish a 16 page paper by tonight so i will try to finish my work first if thats okay
oh wait how much do you have left good luck 💀
DONT WORRY ABOUT IT GO FOCUS
SEE YOU TOMORROW
OR SEE YOU IN THE ROCK IN 10
WHO KNOWS
15 pages.
IM SORRY I WENT BACK TO MY ROOM.
i had to lock in. (literally).
THANK YOU SO MUCH I APRPECAE IT
SEE U TOMORROW!!!!
im at 6 pages
i need to stip distracting mysel fomg
okay so
its actually not due until like the 14th but
we have a workshop for it tomorrow
and i want to pass it by my professor
wby do u have any work to do
i have a de beauvoir reading for tomorrow and the agp reading and I’m considering doing that tomorrow morning maybe 💀
mind = blank
brain = dead
conclusion: the big sad
Just read this
Just wanna say
Thats funny as fuck
Made me wanna go to brown a little more gracias
you have witnessed two total humanities nerds acting wack
but glad you found it funny!
Why
i'm not at a calibre where i can safely say that i will get in
but the thing is like
as soon as i decided i liked brown i knew i'd regret liking brown
💀
I don’t think anyone can say that they will get in fs
But that’s what makes it fun! The unpredictability!
💀
Real asf
That’s the mindset
balled my way to the ED button
ofc the regret is here now
but there's nothing to be done i slammed that button like 35 days ago
we ball
I think people value things more when it’s harder to get it
If you knew you’d get in you’d probably value it less
idk for me like
i toured brown once when i was 11
bc my older sibling was touring
so i got dragged along
and i thought it was pretty cool that they had some based random clubs
last summer i toured again for myself and realized it was a place where i would probably not jump off of a cliff for the next 4 years
🤨
so i decided that was a pretty good reason to pop the ED
That’s a W
Do u think its too late as an EDer to email admissions to add something
Would they just get annoyed
prob not
i just submitted my first quarter grades so
hope not 💀
no bc i didn’t know that i was required to submit those
i thought it was only like 1st term/mid year report
💀
ye idk what those r to this day
i think that’s like the first semester??
i just asked my counselor abt them and she was like "i will submit it" and i was like
?
soooo ig my first quarter grades are submitted?
i suppose if there's a problem i'll find out in 8 days anyway
💀
yeah 😭
but i didn’t want to seem as tho i can’t read directions (i can’t)
so if they don’t read it that sounds good to me
Brown Ed out?
soon™️
facts
what major did u apply as?
pure math
idk 💀
Then how did someone get in?
Ahh
im an asian male looking to go into math 😭😭
💀
it's joever
i’m an asian female going into biology
Something is not right
atleast ur not CS
TRUE
Ah well
asian male going into environmental studies 💚💚💚

Doesn't matter
W fr
true we ball
i have offered this very little thought
i did poli sci for most schools with a minor in environmental studies but brown has a policy concentration for environmental studies
that’s very cool!
it's just "can i do this discipline for more than 15 minutes without succumbing to my video game addiction"
i did bio + art for most schools
yeah real
i very much like the concept of environmental engineering or bio engineering
but my math is not competitive enough for eng
so

switch major when i actually go to college
has anyone not submitted their first term grades?? cause mine still arent available and im scared that thats the reason i get rejected 
My first semester and (most people’s) don’t end until January so I think they understand for ED not having them, I imagine they’d just want them after if you’re accepted
Ayy im a white male going into applied math
Maybe we will bof get in and take same classes
yo i’m also looking to go into applied math but i’m asian
my first term grades aren’t available either but the website says that they want first quarter or trimester grades- if your school does that
Does brown still want the video portfolio for all applicants?
I can’t find anything on their website about it
Never mind I guess I just wasn’t looking in the right place 🤦
It’s optional if you really aren’t feeling it don’t worry
I feel like its one of those things where its optional only if you wanna get rejected ngl
No
Someone here was talking about how they didn’t do one the other day and they’re at brown rn
nope, i did not do one
i didn't do it because i just didn't have time for it and like the 3 days before rd i was so worried about it
but then it turned out fine
don't worry too much about it, it's only considered and not really taken as seriously as any other components
a good video could definitely help your application though
but if you didn’t do one then no point in regretting
but yeah you still have the option of creating the video i believe
I wanted to do a video because the whole theme of my application is kinda to make it all lighthearted
I wanted to be cute and funny and show everything off in a fun way
Cuz i cant lie to myself
I have no trauma or crazy things im some random ass white dude
Might as well embrace it yk
again, be as you are— that's what they're looking for
if it's good random shit then it works
i opened up google docs
stared at the prompt-
it was not good random shit
:gigachad:
you’re good
that's not up for you to determine
i just told them what i wanted to say
if they say it's good shit then it's good shit
because i have seen christina paxson walking with an umbrella in the rain
a manifestation of brown admission office
maybe that's like the strat
just make a scapegoat
💀
come dec 14/15 and march 30 redirect all angry ppl to the imaginary "logan powell"
i mean every school does it so it makes sense right?
if it works it works
remember that things work out!
after my rea and ed2 rejections i thought i was done for lol
just be good
my bad boss
wait luck are you also at brown
yeah
international?
never joined it
oh i know a few people in cs17
oh humanities nerd
where did you go wrong
where did you go wrong?
idk i think i decided that i wanted to actualize my human values tbh
i still love astrophysics and all
but if i wanted to pursue that i would've applied ea mit
went to phys 270 during shopping
liked it but found the passion isn't nearly there
anymore
Lmao this was my idea as well
my essay has no emotional value
its a cool story but its not sad or moving in the slightest
to get lunch
ah rip
what im sayin
💀💀💀
i was thinking of sumn funny to say but thats good
i mean
i kinda knew he didn't go to brown
but like
interesting that he searched up classes on cab
Huh
😭
ay bro next year when im there well get lunch
(joke)
if you are here next year i will take you up on that offer
would you take me up on it if i come to campus
im chill in person
ive heard you guys have really nice food
guys if i don't want to make a video introduction is there even still a chance to get in
Bunch of people get in without the video
tfw i read a "read this if you get rejected from brown" post on reddit and proceed to further regret my ed
why are you regretting it
i can provide counters to any reasons
except for “dorms are meh and food is at times meh”
where do you usually go to get food if you get fed up with the dining halls
thayer is very good
December 15 6:00 PM

UGHhhgg
i only come on this serveer when im in distress and need a reminder that i am blessed
Good one
(i have 40+ hours on one computer science project)
why i need to go
I have heard this a lot
😞
Do you think they just admit pretty people or do pretty people just apply and get in
brown attracts a pretty student body
its so joever for me (i look like a stem nerd npc)
Same 💀
I’m never getting in
LOL
(im engineering)
bme tho so like cute engineering
yees
how do you like it so far
Do you actually love it or are you just saying that haha
I'm going to get mogged and be happy about it.
im humanities and not hot 
"i have recently had the pleasure of being mogged by approximately 8000 brown university students"
i love everything about brown other than the amount of time i spend working on classes
but the ppl are great. campus great. vibes great. everything
You guys don’t have grades, right?
i know. i visited.
u have to be
there r
u can take courses pass/fail tho
can you uhh, bribe the admissions office to accept me?
Got it
we have A, B, C, or no credit
at the beginning of the senester you can choose to take any class satisfactory/no credit (pass/fail)
No gpa though right?
um
applied math?
theres not a gpa on the degree or anything if that is what u r asking
💀❓
Oh ok
i gotta have a glow up 😭
ehhhhhh
apma is like the default
but yea
but most jobs will ask u to calculate ur own, and if u go to grad fs
pure math = wizards
shadow wizard mathematics gang
Sorry
we love proving theorems 😭
ya brb
venmo me $20 and i will email the admissions office
they already didn’t accept me once too😭 twice is too much fr
You’re applying again?
pay up and u wont have to worry😋😋
kinda, I did the questbridge match and didn’t match with Brown 🫠
ppl get in after not matching
yeah but idk about ED, they gave the option tho so I took it!
oh whale
logan powell PLEASE clutch up
who is Logan Powell💀
?
Yo?
Give him A Visit™️ and bro will be a little bit Inclined to let you in.
🙂
SURELY logan powell can mak one extra seat for the unfortunate league-addicted bastard that i am.
🤨
i don't need a dorm i would sleep in the bathroom just let me in
I can be there in 15 mins😭 anyone want me to bring any other messages?
Wait, it was a joke.
😩
yeah send a message saying that i WILL be posting an angry 95-page manifesto if he doesn't let me in
:tamaangry:
print it out and tape it to their door
the admissions office has fallen; millions must be admitted to brown university.
ok just send the pdf so I can print
logan powell used to work at bowdoin and now he works at brown
we have linked destinies
oh my god i can't focus
💀
i need to blink and wake after swimming practice on the 15th
wait were you also an unmatched finalist? ik someone else here was😭
yeah
i rolled my qb app to brown ed
SAME
Or is that a sign at all
@dapper mango do yk of anyone who didn’t get matched but got in ED to Brown? bc the majority I’ve seen were deferred 😮
!brown

8 days, 11 minutes and 46 seconds until the decision date
Fr?
alright priorities shifted from "i must go to brown in order to have the supportive and curious atmosphere" to "i must go to brown for hot men"

LET ME IN
^^ (except women)
Same but women
💀
actually probably women too
idfk what im doing
I don't know who i am.
:gigachad:
omg you guys would love the Providence crackheads!!
💀
i have no idea, i only know ppl that matched to brown
ik some girl from my school last yr got in princeton rd after not matching and someone else got into tufts ed after not matching
mostly hot women
my bf doesnt go here so i have no say on the men

men are not nearly as hot as women here
but then again the women here are way above average, men are definitely still above average
perfect place for lesbians 🥰
is anyone seeing this message in their portal?
"Thank you for submitting your application to Brown University. In the coming months, we look forward to learning more about you through the materials you have shared with us."
I don't remember seeing it prior to today so I'm just wondering
interesting!
Take it at face value
I think it's been there for a while now; prolly an oversight on your ends.
k thx, applying to brown now
Any tips for the brown video?
Is there anything specific that we should maybe highlight? Or should we just showcase our life??
has anybody gotten a request for their in-progress grades / mid-year report yet?
!brown
Brown University ED decisions come out <t:1702681200:F> in your local time
7 days, 19 hours and 57 minutes until the decision date
why are you in this channel
uh
😭
lmfao yeah luck why are you here
zamn
the hard questions
wait actually why is brown a day off
🤨
seems like every other school is announcing for dec 14
ig it's not important but it's a little interesting
from what i understand dartmouth did the same thing last year where every other ivy announced on dec 15 save for dartmouth (and brown) which announced on 16
brown decided to be quirky 😔
i dont mind bc i get to spend my last day of school break blissfully happy unlike the dec 14 ppl who dont get accepted
Ivies only make sure to match on RD release date
ye but idk it's just kind of strange that htey all line up but like
every year one or two decide to say xd and move one day later lmao
dec 14 and 15 are also very popuular release dates so ig it's not worth thinking about too hard
my break starts on the 15th
so like it's fire asf
if i dont get in im free to have a breakdown in peace
💀
I don’t have break but I’ll definitely be taking that weekend to recover lol
i was lowkey looking at class of 27 and oml this is so true. i'm so excited to be gay <3
oh god suffering
fr
it's gonna be mildly torturous seeing everyone else get their results ngl
yall will meet your fate dw
im about to meet god with the amount of prayer i'm going to do beforehand though
i just wanna knowwwww
And I'm an atheist.
🙂
"mb bro i've BMed you for the past 18 years PLEASE respond"
HELP
maybe i will take the same route
why am i shaking so much thinking about this t-t
if i get deferred
i may
explode
oh nyc?
oh yeah
i touched grass earlier today dw
sorry i dumb
daily dose of grass has been achieved
happens on the bigger jobs
i walked from school to the regenstein to eckhart hall
solely on concrete
daily grass-viewing achieved though don't have to touch it fr
im unironically severely allergic to grass pollen anyway
💀
oof
💀
it's ilke i NEED to not be jealous on the 15th
unless the worstass timeline comes to pass and we all get rejected 💀
then uh
gg
brown trolled numerous times in a row then
i honestly like the friday release though
yeah same
time is nice!
ye
FR
at least i don't have to go to school immediately
i know a guy who's in this channel has their birthday on friday
the next day
mine is the 14th
dodged a bullet narrowly
LMFAO
idk how one would be fast enough to dodge a bullet easily but w/e
true
the amount of cap on zeemee
😭
Yes
gg
kk
thx
looks like we all get to shit our pants together
💀
im prob gonna be checking like 2-3 hours late
since it comes out during swimming and i have to get home and shower
i refuse to check the result while im still dirty.
You can cry in the shower if you get rejected though
OOH
Think about it
but im planning on making a shitpost video out of it
and i'd like to be clean while sitting in my uh
sitting space
🐸

if i don't make a shitpost
idk
im planning to call my friend and stream it
bc like
i unironically do not believe i will make it
unless i get to laugh at it if i'm rejected

gotta laugh.
it will be funny if i get rejected. i will make it funny.
it would be funny yeah
someone lied to me and told me that decisions were out on the 20th but now it’s earlier which means i’ll be on a plane when they come out 🤡
i can’t decide whether i desperately want to know or want to delay it as much as possible
tbh i don’t think it’ll be able to handle the portal HAHA
true
might not even be able to check it tbh
considering there'll be a lot of traffic for a bit
might as well chillax for a few hours until u land
:woahthumbsup:
i'll be out here having a breakdown
yea fair
🙂
LMFAO REAL
so you can (hopefully not) join me when you land
ngl i’ve already told myself im not gonna get in
same
but the hope keeps creeping back into my brain
and i need to stamp it out every single time it conjures images of an acceptance letter
i need to imagine the "We regret to inform you"
at this point if i get a deferral i will be ecstatic
actually same
i dont think i'll get in at all ultimately
but like
it means two things to me:
- i get to dream a little longer
- if im getting deferred by brown that probably means i'm at a calibre where i have a reasonable shot anywhere
realistically my ass is getting the "regret to inform you" tho
💀
real except instead of dream it’s more like i get to be delusional a little while longer 🤣🤣🤣
true
but it's like a dream to me 😭
this dumbass college thing gave me the kool-aid
and i chugged it with abandon
i know i don't need to go to brown to be fulfilled
but the back of my brain keeps telling me i need to

i can't get away from it
LMAOOO that’s a crazy way to say it
i'm married to the idea that brown IS the place where i MUST be
like part of me is like i’ll get in where im meant to be but also
i’m meant to be at brown PLDSSSSSS
me when people say "you deserve the place that you go to" and it's like my ass is about to deserve community college

i feel like the phrasing is a little bit off of that of the motivational message they want to tell me LOL
lol fr 😭😭😭 “you’ll end up where you’re meant to be” aight phoenix online it is
TRUE
they mean welll but i’m pessimistic
same
ok im ngl like
i wish the admissions team would give me the most like
insulting and shitty rejection letter on the planet
instead of 95 platitudes
so i get to be pissed at them
because that's better than being sad

it feels insincere but there's nothing tangible to get mad at them for since they're being "nice"
:tamaangry:
