hope you get rejected by all
L
i might actually ngmi
i gotta grind
ohh
i already have a finance bro fit
why did u apply to uchicago early if u got like 7+ schools youd pick over it
why not just apply to your top choice LOL
yeah lmao
financial aid
o
idk
yes
wait nvm
....
⛏️ picking away at my brown video essay now
am, ngmi., . .,
tomorrow is brown video
rebuke this energy
pls accept me brown
hi @wide thicket
Can't wait for Brown to reject me 😊
my friend is applying to brown with a great gpa but she went test optional for the sat. she's going in for biology (premed basically). would no sat be a huge risk for her in her rd application?
How is brown admissions compared to other ivy leagues? Is Brown more holistic?
brown si fucking weird
some mfs making it into 7 ivies stanford and MIT and then rejected by brown
💀
Does being gay = automatic admit at Brown? 🤔
probably makes it harder bc so many apply
probably not but 81% of admitted students submitted sat/act for class of 2026
if it’s plme tho then idk cause that shit is like a different level of competitive lol
probably similar to others
wtf
i fucked up most of my list is all reaches
someone told me that RD round is usually easier than the ED/REA round
is that true
like in general
idk abt brown specifically
i don’t think it’s true
if anything it would be the opposite imo where early round is easier than rd
Really? I'm talking about early round in terms of top schools though where the applicant pool is strong af.
it’s going to be pretty strong regardless of early or rd
usually early acceptance rates are inflated by legacy and athlete admits
i think ED is a slight boost though and there are just less people you’re competing against
if you could get in early you could probably have gotten in rd as well and vice versa
What was your intended major?
applied math
hmm alr
I mean just looking at last year many ppls earlies didnt work out but RD went crazy
in my school
probably just luck or smth
also need to consider the fact that (sometimes) the first essays people write (ED) for college are their worst
i'm still confused on how capcut works rip
thanks! i'll probably try that instead
is everyone submitting a video
there’s a video?
video?
yall don't know about the video?
the optional video introduction
i'm shooting mine tomorrow cuz why not
very last minute cuz i was debating on doing it but atpp...
lmaooo i would but im scared going test optional means i need to supplement my application with something else
I just finished editing my video lol...
Also brown lets applicants submit research right?
do they just take abstracts
fyi the video portfolio is due 2 weeks after the application deadline and can be submitted through the portal
I just finished my Brown supplementals does anyone want to review them?
I think they recommend submitting it a week after the portal opens up
ok thx for the heads up! 👍
40% of us
me included teehee
1% acceptance rate goes crazy
Does anyone want to review my supplements?
i can rate them if you want
send pdf
Does anyone have time to review my teach a class supplement? (Definitely not inspired by collegeessayguy)
sure
i thought it was due on the 10th?
Ok I'll dm
is that a real statistic ?
~38%
i rounded up
Super based
real
what are you
whos your profile pic
yo i am really procrastinating these brown supps
Asexual + genderqueer
is this actually true like to a certain extent?
I can't tell you it's too cringe (anime guy from a dating sim)
no lmfao
what were you thinking
being queer isn’t an automatic pass to get into a school with a 5% acceptance rate buddy 💀
no that's not what I meant
ppl in my school say it helps or sth
obv not automatic pass or anything major
based, ., ., ,.. ,
ig its probably more about their experiences
are you gay because you go to brown or do you go to brown because you’re gay?
Bro is not geto 💀
so is everyone in this channel just lgbtq
i see
Crazy cuz my whole app is about me being queer (I'm a gender studies/comp sci major tho lol)
wdym by help 😭
if you’re lgbtq+ but have shit stats the admissions officers won’t go like ‘mmm this dudes bisexual let’s let him in!’
the other day i saw someone say he was gonna pretend to be queer to boost his brown admissions chances
dumbest thing ever
the universe will get your ass
Wtf????
hi cat!
Who lmaooo
cat is my bestie
cat watch the video i dm'd you
oh okay mb ididnt see it
Tell me why my Brown tour guide kept talking about twinks the whole time bruh I was dead 💀 I knew their was a high presence of lgbt people atp
lmfaooooooooooo
its definitely giving brown
Fr tho he was a comedian lol
i wanna be a tour guide so bad
lmfaooo
i would be so good
give me a tour when i visit!
ok!!
only one way to find out 😈
Good tutorial on I Movie that anyone can suggest? For the Brown video? I have zero video skills.
i had 0 experience too teehee
recommendations:
- download an app on ur phone that allows you to put captions / words onto ur video
so that you can signpost
- pick out a backing track and have it as an audio file that goes for the whole way across the imovie clips
idk there’s not really many tips
imovie is generally straight forward
make a plan, make a clear structure for your video (having an obvious and naturally-flowing structure instead of just talking aimlessly is probably the best advice i can give) and execute it
my video i talked about my participation prize that i hang over my desk 🙏 brown loves losers
please do this
just free style it
WAIT
THATS SO CUTE
I LOVE THAT
my video was so bad 😭 i was sitting on the floor recording with my phone propped up against a book
they love when you do sht like this
people who hire a whole film crew are so ngmi
bro
awww im going to talk about my ocd and overcoming stereotypes lol
my colloiqulaims
this is the way
isnt the video just like 2 minutes
true
i love using ‘cholloiquiams’
collooqlioiuouoiaf jdapoij p9agre
i talked for like 30 seconds over so i had to edit it like 1.5x speed or something and i already talk fast
lmfaoooooooooo
i talked abt how i suck at tkd and how my tailbone was bruised from practice
💀
cuz i fell
i saw a really cool video of (i think) linguistics major talking about languages and his own fantasy language (it said i love brown at the end cute) and the editing was not anything crazy it actually gave me hope
okay thats like the coolest thing ever
ikrrr it was fire
what’s the textbook
you have a favorite textbook..?
the first real textbook i've read
nuh uh
special place in my heart fr
awww
LMFAOOOOOO
wait
what did you say abt it
idk i love the way that it's written
like it's talking to me
i like it when my books talk to me (not weird way)
💀
lmaooo
it was pretty bad
nah thats cool
but it was 1 am and i didn't realize it was due within 7 days after getting the portal
and i was like
Spivak is awesome
Oh. I received the portal 24*6 + 17 hours ago. It is due in 7 hours.
so i just
did it
huh 24*6
His style is great
bro did not need to be writing calculus textbooks bro could’ve modeled
ah he’ll nah
Name another math prof with pronouns named after them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spivak_pronoun
The Spivak pronouns are a set of gender-neutral pronouns in English promulgated on the virtual community LambdaMOO based on pronouns used in a book by American mathematician Michael Spivak. Though not in widespread use, they have been employed in writing for gender-neutral language by those who wish to avoid the standard terms he, she, or singu...

Thanks
hi friends
ngmi
hi @wide thicket
im almost done with my apps
are you going to write ngmi in your essay
i think it expresses your personality really well
For brown’s research supplement, is it better to submit a whole ass research paper or just the abstract
i submitted a research paper
i have no idea what to write for the in one sentence why brown supp
ive barely seen any examples too 😭
what examples have you seen? i havent seen any
time to become avideo editor
Lowkey just wrote a whole sentence and called it a day 💀
Uh. I did not expect to find someone with the exact same idea for profile
I think we both know what they did.
anyone here kind enough to read my essays
i can read essay
omg hi sylvia
omg hi cat
i had an entire bag of la tiao
in one sitting
and my mouth is burning

oh my god
that sounds so good rn
im about to eat a chashao bao
mouth is salivating
chinese food >
we need a pineapple bun chashao bao
that's 
collegeessayguy had a few that fit the prompt but for other schools
prob because they just added it as a prompt this year 👍🏼
we do!!!
distressing 
mmm
view it from another perspective
the AOs have no previous years to compare them to
could work in your favor
brown is an excellent school and a mere sentence cannot describe its standing in my valued list of colleges.
lots of space for originality
it’s just like
I’m not sure how to be creative with it since they explicitly ask for one sentence
like for yales what inspires you I basically wrote it like a list but it came off kind of in a poetic way yknow
‘esteemed list of colleges’ gives ‘you know other men?’ vibes
real
don’t mention other schools
in an essay for a school
imho
truee
i know you can be creative though
to get around the one short sentence thing
as a creative writer
i would split phrases with this /
like/this
you would use a ton of , ; : () ?
it’s a poetical tool i forgot which
oh yeah
a shit tone of those
well actually this — is my most dearest
true
I’ve written poems in this format too
I’m just concerned they’ll not like how it gets around the prompt

same!!
essays r driving me insane
can i rate your brown essays again
who u addressing
You
oh yeah
mm
i feel like they would get it
well
i think i would like
do different ideas
separated by the /
different reasons for ‘why brown’
and maybe have creative writing be the common thread that connects all the clauses
that’s kinda what i did last year for my 250 word why brown
luck what’s ur fav out of : ; () — ,
icic
hmmmm
i think i kinda see the vision
cat did you submit a creative writing portfolio to brown
because ppl r advising me to but i rlly dont like my work rn
but alot of my app is poetry centered
why do i feel like brown attracts poets pls 😭
ive also talked about poetry in mine lol
they def do literally 3/5 ppl ik who are at brown or have been admitted ed are poets
thats act so slay from them
yesss
are you submitting a poetry supp 😭
my video portfolio is centered on photography and poetry!
hehe thank u
im not sure what i wanna do for mine yet,,,maybe something about birds, drawing, writing
i love editing so i played with it a bit
i did drawing, food, and reading c:
oooo food is such a cool idea
i lvoe eating
me
thats sounds amazing ! from the moment you do something smooth
its perfect
i literally have an album in my photos named
"food for brown vid portfolio" or something along those lines
hahaha
did u eat in front of the camera 😭
LMAOO
food pics LOL
HAHAHA
awww
yes i did!!!
i sent them my resume and a link to a website with my writing
this is actually so cute
it’s linked in my linktree if you wanna see what i sent them
i went mainly poems
i love eating
what’s wrong with poems they love that sht
ur so real for this cuz in my vid i included a clip of me eating dimsum
haiku by me:
i love to eat food
i will eat anything good
pls door dash me stuff
cat do you think i should upload all my poems in a same place and send it along with my app?
ive actually never thought of doing it
but i have soo many
i personally recommend making a website/portfolio yeah
u should make a website
i put it in the extra link area
how?
google website is easy
best website
a linktree?
for writing portfolios
no like a website
ohh i see
if you want look in my linktree and you’ll see exactly what I sent brown
for the link
i removed some stuff from my clippings bio but it used to read smt like ‘I hope you enjoy reading’
as a nod to the admissions officer
cat
is so cute
if thats her on the website thingy
@wide thicket i added u on goodresds
is that on common app
it’s also super easy to make!
and free
okay so unfortunately i lost the email and password to that account but im gonna make a new one for 2024
also to keep me responsible (i wanna read 1 book per month)
im really bad at sticking to goals
ill add you on that account <3
yes
i also made
a creative writing resume
which i added to the ‘resume’ section of commonapp
i just made that in word
YIPPEE
wait i’m gonna
make a linked in top
too
wait
link tree
not linked in
oops
balanced champion btw
yu should also look into making a LinkedIn if you don’t have one yet
also get on handshake
i do
but im not ready for ppl to see my actual identity yet
ppl scare m
e
your writing is so gorg 🙏
im scared to send a writing portfolio bc i dont know which pieces to include and im worried theyll be disappointed
maybe cuz i have highkey imposter syndrome but my ecs/awards make me out to be a good writer but i dont even like half of the stuff that won things compared to stuff other high school writers produce
im just worried theres more opportunity to hurt than help
why is every other person in here a writer or something
because brown prospectives student are artists
creating stuff in itself is bravery
🫂
^-^
if it won awards its prob not hot shit
oh it won awards
its like hogwards but for poets/ writers
luck how did you write the harvard prompt where they ask you what you'll do with your harvard education
i hated that shit
its so hard..
idk
i didn’t have that prompt when i applied
ohh
it got added this year because of suprmme court whatever
ok
so real
me too
aw thank you so much! that means a lot to me
im sure your writing is wonderful too <3
noooo! i know imposter syndrome goes crazy but from an outsider perspective im sure you’re an incredible writer—also remember writing is more about intention than how ‘well’ you write, also, ‘good’ writing is 100% subjective anyways
like i made an orignal dragon ball art but i dont own DB
your ECs do the speaking already and paint you as qualified, the writing sample is mainly just to give them a taste of ur style and ur ideas and craft
it’s less about ‘skill’ (debatably, writing ‘skill’ doesn’t exist/is largely subjective anyways)
i started writing sophomore year and never applied/went to kenyon or iowa or anything asoijdasoijadsjioadso i rlly dont know why i got the things i did
my writing feels so plain and kinda simple compared to others pieces sometimes
that helps to know 😭
and this is definitely not true i promise you
i 100% think you should submit
🫶
🫶 thank you so so much
of course! if you need help/support w anything let me know
i would also love to read ur writing
NO SHUSH
you do NOT need to go to iowa or kenyon to be considered a ‘good writer’
adiaoadjsio
id love that but im so overly insecure abt it that id have to think on it 😭
no that’s so valid, just whatever feels comfortable for you
are you a current student or rising freshman at brown btw
cuz im curious if you know someone there but that might get me doxxed so idk LOL
i definitely still think you should submit it to the schools, as mei said writing, especially showing it to others, is bravely
current freshman at brown!
of course
im currently watching notting forest verse manchester in the premiere league though so my responses might be spotty
set up my linnktree
place a bet on who you think will win
LMAO
ofc ofc
notting forest
it’s currently 1 nil so
also im an underdog supporter for life
so def notting forest
ok ill bet on man united then
you just
ok
you wanna win against me so bad but you can’t first of all im older than you second of all im better
that’s a lot of talk
how are your odds looking babe
THEY LOOK SO GOOD
cuz now they’re underdog again
underdogs always succeed
just like brown against harvard
reality is often disappointing cat

mhm
indeed
theres a creative writing portfolio for brown??
80% lose rate vs the indomitable man united spirit.
no but you can make one and send it in
oh shiiii
@vestal lava count ur lucky stars cuz they added 10 mins buffer time
time to become good at writing
i think this is the only thing i can do atp
mhm it could help esp if you mention writing elsewhere
aka help me
oh wait its for brown u creative writing majors only right @wide thicket
no??? lol why would it only be for creative writing majors
it’s for anyone who writes creatively
u can send in supplementary materials for anything rigtht
yeah
wait can u send the link to the info page for the portfolio
i couldnt find it
it’s not like
an official thing
the only official supplements are art, research, and music
you can send your own website/pprtfolio
in the ‘extra link’ section
or in the ‘resume’ section
nw
if you want an example of how to format one there’s one in the first link of my linktree

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning
hai good morning
i just woke up x.x
wow, ur writing is so good 😭
how long did it take u to write all that / did u take professional writing classes?
and did u submit these to brown when u were applyig
yes probably
i'm also considering submitting a creative writing portfolio but like idk if its good enough LMAO
can someone take a look at my research portfolio 🥺
im trying to decide
probably a full paper?
my abstract doesnt really share anything
like
its not the most informative
yeah same
wow
lots of stuff
lmfao yes
i didn’t realize there was a research portfolio until after i submitted my application
@vestal lava check the score babe
hi brown
😞
@wide thicket can you help me with my research portfolio
also aw this is so sweet thanks
erm
i did attend the iowa young writers studio and the kenyon young writers program but
in all honestly
i don’t think they ‘helped’
it was mainly just like
being with other people who love the same stuff you do
best advice is just practice
write as much as you can
@vestal lava whats it like waking up knowing you're ngmi
i really feel bad for you
😐
yup i submitted the exact website
but.... but u are a hs senior
that dude probably crying rn
at least im not ngmi
yeah he was so pissed
i wouldnt jinx it 
lol
cuz their team got beat by nottingham forest
underrated ass team
you got lucky
im gonna get in somewhere better than h word
goalies are automatically fine
like brown for example
r u a yalie

no he’s ngmi
like how u were gonna win
definitely super factual
