Brown University (2023-2024)

[sharp fiber]

does anyone know when the video is due? some sources say 1 week and some say 2 weeks

i dont think they just close the portal or whatever right cuz im planning on probably making/submitting by tomorrow or thursday

[rain sun]

For Ed it was one week after you received the portal, idk about rd for sure

[sharp fiber]

is it like a set deadline?

[rain sun]

You should have received an email by now no?

[sharp fiber]

i did get my portal

they didn't send a separate email for the video tho

[rain sun]

I got the deadline on the email with the info to the portal

[sharp fiber]

google says around one week after i get my portal but they say theres no strict deadline

[sharp fiber]

oh fr? lemme check mine again

ohh i see it says 1 week

so i have like another 3 days

[sly yacht]

yh agree

U can’t deny it’s true

Do u know how loci works? I didn’t do early decision but i won something a few days ago and wanted to update my colleges , do i gotta write loci and send on portal/email? @hidden heart

[mystic meteor]

i liked it

[sly yacht]

Liked what?

[mystic meteor]

the text walls

:YEP:

i am a fellow textwaller

[sly yacht]

Oh

[leaden wyvern]

did u guys get ur portals yet

i havent got mine

[lament moat]

[hidden field]

Why’d cat get banned

Bro it’s 🍚 purity no way

[lament moat]

[mystic meteor]

ur about to get deleted for sending that message

💀

[rich mist]

something that shouldn't be brought up in our server

if they feel they can justify their actions or were wrongfully banned they can appeal

plus this isn't wasn't their first offenses, their warning histories played a huge part in their ban

[hidden field]

Icic

[bronze bobcat]

You reminded me that I have to do this 🤣

[odd wyvern]

how late can i submit it

it's been more than 2 weeks for me since i've received the portal

[mystic meteor]

💀

ur cooked i think

sorry

u can try asking them tho?

💀 idk if it'll work

[steep wasp]

it says that when im submitting video profile

[mystic meteor]

it's also not necessary tho

[hidden heart]

ah oki

[light arrow]

brown

[hidden heart]

princeton

[mystic meteor]

u of i

[lament moat]

[hidden heart]

what's with all the luck wannabes around here

[hidden heart]

also no idea but i think you just send it through email?

[sly yacht]

Great tysm will do that

[sly yacht]

?

The other luck is not the real one

[hidden heart]

none of them are real

[sly yacht]

I’m the original

😎

[obsidian pecan]

Just submitted the video! Wooo!

[mystic meteor]

it's literally me. i am luck.

and now i am become luck, cosplayer of brown student.

[fiery night]

Hi guys resident brown video procrastinator here and I FINALLY filmed today and it didn’t take as long as I thought!! It seems a lot more awful than it is

Highly recommend you plan everything out beforehand though bc it let me finish filming in like an hr or less (it took a second to find angles and execute my vision)

[lament moat]

congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[solar viper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjSJmjGQ0iE&ab_channel=JaGay

[jade stag]

What did u talk about?🤔

[obsidian pecan]

I did kind of like a coming of age type thing. I’m really into film so I kind of had the plan in mind beforehand but I answered the question “what can I offer the world” and then did voiceovers with clips of my life and things I love (with some old baby videos I had to dig up sprinkled in)

It’s on YouTube…if u find it I’ll be super surprised

Sorry that was a lot…but yeah

[dapper mango]

finally finished my loci but ill wait till the end of the month in case I have any more updates to share

[obsidian pecan]

Bro props to you. I gotta start mine

[jade stag]

Wow that sounds good

[jagged tinsel]

when’s the deadline for the video portfoloo

[fiery night]

A week after you get your portal

Submitted my video!!

[little snow]

feels freeing doesnt it

[steel marlin]

woooohoo

[fiery night]

Yesss no more college apps

[outer lion]

is it fine to upload to yt

if i cant upload a direct google drive video

for the brown portfolio

[little snow]

why would you need to do that

cantu just upload it directly

[outer lion]

not loading

[hoary pond]

is there a strict deadline for the video tonight?

[dusky maple]

i think the earlier the more likely they'll receive it but i got my application portal the fifth, so for me it'll be due on the 12th

[limber valley]

can I say something like ".....like rent is due" in my video

[bronze bobcat]

woo props to u

[modest saffron]

Lumina what are u cooking girl💀

[valid magnet]

Same

I'm finishing this today imma just talk to the camera like a yt it's not this serious 💀

[floral gull]

i got mine at friday 7am

I wonder if I can submit friday EOD

[rare mortar]

that's what im doing

i think that's fine right? i mean they very loosely state "a week after," i really don't think they're gonna check your submission time with the exact time you received their portal yk

[tacit obsidian]

i finally stopped procrastinating and filmed mine lmfao

just gotta edit in some clips

[limber valley]

don't worry I didn't actually put that into my script

[jade stag]

Is brown vid due like exactly 7 days from when they sent or the end of the day

[bronze bobcat]

what was ur 3 words

When y’all submitted ur app

[jade heart]

random animals fr

i took buzzfeed quizzes for personality and put whatever i got

[tacit obsidian]

paid, laid, gatorade

[rugged rapids]

for the video portfolio would it be bad to go to 2 minutes and like 2 seconds by adding a thank you slide at the end

[rugged rapids]

nah i'd win

[dusky maple]

Food-Reviewer, Glass-Half-Full, Myers-Briggs=ENFP

[little snow]

make it 2 minutes

if its just 2 seconds im sure you can find a way to cut

[rugged rapids]

Okay okay thank you

[ebon moth]

Laid 💀

[steep wasp]

quizzical queer quotable

[bronze bobcat]

I like this 🤭

mine was super basic

Sneakers with dresses

[reef storm]

is it okay if my video is 2 minutes and 5 seconds 😭😭😭

[steep wasp]

Mine is 2 mins 40 LOL you'll be fine

[little snow]

I mean I’m sure you can remove the 5 seconds 🤣

[reef storm]

LMAO i removed like 15 seconds to get to 2:05 😔😔

[reef storm]

NOOO HAHAHA

[tepid basin]

yayyyy submitted video!

[polar lagoon]

wooooo

[tacit obsidian]

i hope they enjoy me yapping for two minutes straight

[rare mortar]

BROWN VIDEO DONE

HOLYYY

mine was like 1-2 seconds over hopefully that's fine

i love my video so much

[mortal iris]

The thought of the brown video makes me sick

I can’t edit for the life of me

[rare mortar]

imovie is my best friend

[tulip stream]

.

[glass ore]

They probably will, from what I understand it's like the letter of recommendations

And also, is it OK to use copyrighted music in the video?

As long as you declare it at the end

[tulip stream]

bet

[sharp fiber]

guys is it ok if i use a voiceover for some parts of my video

im planning on showing some pics and going for a voiceover part somewhere in the middle

or does anyone know if just sitting there and talking to a camera is better 💀

i dont wanna make it look too overedited and all voiceover

[faint wadi]

i did a voiceover the entire time

[sharp fiber]

ooo ok so it doesn't matter at all

might just do a voiceover for most parts cuz like theres no way i can memorize all of this and edit by tonight

[faint wadi]

ya

i had entirely voiceover with a few parts where it cuts to me continuing my sentence or train of thought in front of the camera

basically nothing matters be as cringey or as overedited or as simplistic as u wanr

[sharp fiber]

ooo ok

imma assume that video portfolios play a super small part in admissions

[fiery night]

Weren’t they supposed to be 2 mins?

[sly yacht]

Rlly dont think they want vids over 2 mins

[mortal iris]

I think if you go over by ten seconds it’ll be fine but I agree with their argument

[rich mist]

is it possible to get in w/o a video

[little snow]

i'd say just cut out the 10 seconds

[steep wasp]

i couldnt cut down and was too tired to try

[valid magnet]

yall my video is hot cross buns lmao

[jade stag]

fr 😭

[round knoll]

do any current brown students know when i should expect adoch to be i need to plan ahead 😔

[earnest heron]

the way I haven’t started my brown vid and it’s due in an hr

hope they’ll still take it at like 2 hrs past the deadline 😭

[rare mortar]

i went like a second more than the two minutes

but i feel like that's so trivial so i think it's fine

[sweet dagger]

i like haven't had power for two days, could i email admissions and tell them so that i can submit my brown video when it's expected to come back (tomorrow at the latest)

[valid magnet]

Yeah I would give them a heads up

[polar lagoon]

definitely

I’m sure they are considerate about these issues beyond your control

[sweet dagger]

got it, thanks!

[iron sandal]

why do you need power tho?😭

I just used my phone camera then boom

[hidden field]

^

Literally just go outside and record if you need to film lol

[sweet dagger]

i mean i would but i already have the video ready

i just can't upload it

[hidden field]

Oh, you can’t upload on the phone?

[sweet dagger]

noo my computer's dead 💀

i just need the power back and i can upload and submit

[jade stag]

How odd

[hidden field]

How

[limber valley]

Brown vid is done woohooo

I probably died

[dapper osprey]

help i just watched the brown vid tips video and they said they prefer landscape over portrait mode 😭 but half my stuff is in portrait 😭

i cant help that my mom's a portraitmode fiend 😭

[fiery night]

You can change it on iMovie

Like it can become landscape based on cropping

[jade stag]

Bro fr

[limber valley]

hi I also did this

[jade stag]

I did portrait

[limber valley]

what I did is put two portrait videos together

zoom in so that it fills in half of the screen

[jade stag]

Bruh how I’m supposed to know that😭

[mystic meteor]

wait your iq is massive

wtf

INNOVATION

[dapper osprey]

Ion got any apple devices 😭

[limber valley]

I also fit like 3 portrait vids together to fill an entire screen

[dapper osprey]

Oh well the AOs are just going to have to stomach my blood-curdling portrait mode 🙄

[jade stag]

Mines entirely portrait 💀

[limber valley]

also guys Idk if anybody needs this

but if you have times that you don't know what type of video to fit in there

just record yourself reading your script or yapping

[jade stag]

I alr submitted it 😭

[limber valley]

very effective way to get your video done asap

[limber valley]

it's ok as long as you're content with what you did in the vid it should be fine

[jade stag]

It sucks ngl

[limber valley]

mine kinda sucks too

[jade stag]

Idk. Y I didn’t think of landscape

I had no reason to use portrait too😭

[limber valley]

I could've spent some extra time to add funny subtitles but I'm too tired to try

[earnest heron]

pray for me i still havent submitted

if it doesnt go through ill kms 😭

[hidden field]

Lumina getting in easy

[sharp fiber]

clutched video with 30 minutes left 🙏

the 4 hours of editing better be worth it

[dusky maple]

guys my video was a mov file and i saw a reddit post that said something about how u had to convert it into some codec? how would i know it was received properly? i also clicked the link on some other reddit posts where u could go back to the submission page and my video shows perfectly fine, does that mean it was submitted correctly?

[floral gull]

yk when you do do that, apparently you can still "edit details"? I'm not sure if that means that if I commit a change, that the application video that I uploaded will change as well 🗿

also that the video portfolio could be deleted as well

hmm

[limber valley]

how I wish

[glass ore]

From what I understand it's kind of required, I've heard of people uploading bad videos and getting in but nobody who didn't submit a video and got in

[dusky maple]

idk if u should try that do you think the aos would email us if the video had problems?

[rich mist]

is there a way to check the video after ive submitted

[hidden heart]

this is true, a lot of people don't send a video in

[dusky maple]

there’s a reddit post called like “didnt get to preview my brown video portfolio” and someone put a link that u can click to go to the screen before u submit and u preview it there

[rich mist]

is it on the A2C subreddit

found it, it worked

thanks 🙏

[trim void]

Hey all, I got into Brown ED and I’m a bit worried about the grades on my mid year report. If I get a B- in AP Physics C and 2 A- will I get a warning letter or be at risk of being rescinded?

[obsidian pecan]

Lmfaoooo bro

Ur good

[heady root]

bro you wont even get recsinded for a C dw

youll get an angry letter tho

[hidden heart]

"precipitous rejection letter"

A- and B- is fine thhough

[polar lagoon]

you are so bing chilling

[digital igloo]

Hey guys I forgot to include one piece in my art portfolio submission, is there any way I can resolve this ?

[foggy kindle]

email them

[viscid mauve]

if anyone applied to the bridge scholars program do u know when were supposed to hear back??

[mystic meteor]

not gonna lie sometimes i get a little pissed thinking about the deferral

not like a "damn i didn't get in?"

like a "u bastards in RI smd."

🤨

[bronze bobcat]

yeah this is a very real feeling

[mystic meteor]

I am going to brutalize the admissions office.

ingame.

[hidden heart]

ask in the co28 discord!

[worldly shale]

I don't have a SAT/ACT checkbox on my application even though I self reported scores in common app. Is this the same for everyone else who's submiting scores?

[glass ore]

Same here, I think that's normal

[hybrid swan]

did brown extend their deadline or something cuz u guys going crazy

[glass ore]

I haven't heard of that, but people here were mostly talking about the video introduction which you submit after submitting your app

[dusk vector]

oh is there a separate discord for ‘28? Where can I find the link for that

[mortal iris]

Still haven’t submitted my video LOLA

[hidden heart]

are you an admitted student?

[dapper osprey]

hun 😭

[dusk vector]

ah I think I misunderstood, I thought you meant there was one for students applying this year, not accepted student sorry!!

[mystic meteor]

oh god i have to write my loci

Dear Admissions Officer,

I have been shitting my pants and doing absolutely nothing for the past two months between November first and the time of writing. Please have mercy and let me in anyway.

Thanks bro,
Me

[bronze bobcat]

beautiful

[mystic meteor]

that got a little skull reacted

[novel zealot]

I waited a week and two days 😭

Hope it’s fine

[digital igloo]

am i gonna get rejected for saying new providence instead of providence in my essays..

[mystic meteor]

bro fr columbia'd

[digital igloo]

AM I COOKED THOUGH

[mystic meteor]

a little

if i can tell u trolled from the columbia app they can prob tell

💀

i mean at least u put in the effort to change the location a little LOL

but it also means that what you wrote is entirely generic

so gg

[digital igloo]

How is that from columbia

im so lost on what youre saying lol

i genuinely thought it was called new providence, i wasnt confusing it with new york lol

[mystic meteor]

oh rly

gg

i mean if it's not generic

and it's legit just a typo

ur probably not cooked at all

like it's a small "lol what" moment i think

if the rest of the essay is good i think you're probably completely safe

then again i am a random eighteen year old giving opinion on college essay evaluation

so

🐸

take with at least a pantry's worth of salt

[digital igloo]

thank you though i needed reassurance

[mystic meteor]

we're all heading to the execution block together

(ingame)

[worldly shale]

Just submitted my video

hope its not too late...

[mortal iris]

I still haven’t 😭😭😜

[brazen ferry]

Same lol

[worldly shale]

Oh look at this

I emailed brown admissions for something else

And they have this as their auto response

Information about the Video Introduction as well as the deadline for submitting the video introduction through your Brown Applicant Portal can be found on our Video Introduction webpage and our Video Introduction FAQ. The video introduction deadline was set to ensure that we receive your video in sufficient time to consider it along with your complete application. You may still upload your video through your Brown Applicant Portal and it is not necessary to email us to request an extension. There is no penalty for late submission, but if you would like us to consider your video introduction, we recommend submitting as soon as possible.

[mystic meteor]

LMFAO

[valid magnet]

Yeah I'm not getting accepted I think my vid did more harm than good

[mystic meteor]

same

[rugged rapids]

did bro say he was gonna bomb the school or sum??

[faint wadi]

ours was april 14th and april 21st

[faint wadi]

unless ur video was saying that u are a terrorist or u lowkey hate brown u are fine

[steep wasp]

what if my video says im excited to go to uchicago

[faint wadi]

thats why everyone says to do the vid regardless

[faint wadi]

so that might be an issue❤️

hope this helps!

[steep wasp]

i reused my uchi video for brown and i redid the intro and outro obv but the portal didn't give me an option to check my video before submitting so im paranoid about whether i submitted the correct video or not

[faint wadi]

yolo

[steep wasp]

guess we'll find out march 28!

[steep wasp]

mood fr

[faint wadi]

what day was app due

or video idk

[steep wasp]

1 week after portal

brown app deadline was Jan 3

[faint wadi]

ohh

[steep wasp]

I got portal jan 5 so jan 12

i think i submitted Jan 10

[faint wadi]

itll b okay

[steep wasp]

char did you submit a video

[faint wadi]

i did

[steep wasp]

slay

[faint wadi]

it was cringe af

whatever millennials reviewed it ate it up tho

[steep wasp]

LOL mine's prolly worse 😭

i talked about my roommates

[faint wadi]

looking at mine now feels like a disney monologue

[steep wasp]

like my piano, my laptop, my bookmark, my colouring book

[steep wasp]

hey that's cute

[faint wadi]

thats cute

LOL

in my video i expressed a bunch of my diff interests and i think that helped

[steep wasp]

aww that's nice

[faint wadi]

cus i am an engineering major but in my vid was basically like PLEAAASEEE GET ME OUT OF THIS RURAL ASS TOWN SO I CAN BE CREATIVVEEE PLEAASEEE

[steep wasp]

my thing is that my app was very put together and artistic and thoughtful

and then my video is unhinged

look at this shit one sec

[faint wadi]

oh dear

LOL

[steep wasp]

i literally titled it "Embrace the Cringe (Roommates Version)"

and like dropped 3 ts references i think

[faint wadi]

they may fall in love

[steep wasp]

bro im so down bad for brown I'm ngl

[faint wadi]

lots of swifties at brown

[steep wasp]

or they might want me to stay farrrrrr away from Providence lol

[faint wadi]

u shouldve seen the 1989 drop

[steep wasp]

what about aos

[steep wasp]

I BETTER GET INTO BROWN BY THE TIME REP DROPS!!!

[faint wadi]

they probably also swifties tbf

fs fs

[steep wasp]

damn engineering at brown? how's that going for you

/gen bcuz in my mind brown is highly liberal arts focused

[faint wadi]

theres a taylor swift club and they hosted a 1989 listening party in like one of our biggest auditoriums

[steep wasp]

🤭🤭🤭🤭

they may not appreciate my blank space remake

[steep wasp]

YEAH I SAW THE CLUB I MENTIONED IT IN MY ESSAY!!!

[faint wadi]

i really like it. i chose brown so that i wasnt limited to strictly STEM, so ive been able to take a poetry class this semester and probably an art class this upcoming sem

[steep wasp]

yess that's v nice

asking because i wanna potentially double major across humanities and stem so

[faint wadi]

i got into schools that were definitely more prestigious regarding engineering but i prioritized my happiness as a student

[steep wasp]

v cool!!

are you a freshman?

[faint wadi]

if u want to dual major engineering its basically impossible but with other stems thatd be dope like astronomy etc

yes

2027🙌

[steep wasp]

maybe not engineering but something cs or ds adjacent?

why is engineering impossible

[faint wadi]

lets say u take 4 classes per semester

u have 32 classes in ur 4 years

engineering ScB degrees require 21 classes

and generally every BA requires 10-12

it’s POSSIBLE but there would be no room for flexibility

[steep wasp]

ohhhhh that's fair yeah

[faint wadi]

and brown life hack is to like

graduate with the primary degree u like

in the cases im talking about, engineering

and then on your resume you can put like “minor equivalent in astronomy” or something

because brown doesnt have minors

[steep wasp]

yeah makes sense

rn im just like

[faint wadi]

dual major cs is common so should be gooood

[steep wasp]

lemme get into the uni first then I'll figure it out yk

[faint wadi]

yes yes

[steep wasp]

yeah the cs is just so i can tell my parents i have a backup😭

[faint wadi]

i just like advertising my school ‼️

real af

whats ur planned major?

[steep wasp]

you don't need to dw im a brown simp

[steep wasp]

literary arts/modern culture& media

[faint wadi]

i became a brown simp the day before ivy day

[faint wadi]

ooooo

[steep wasp]

put those down as 1 and 2 im not sure which one i like more so

[faint wadi]

thats fun

[steep wasp]

damn what simp were you before that

[faint wadi]

im literary arts kid at heart

[steep wasp]

AY

[faint wadi]

i told myself i wouldnt get attached to any school 💯

but before ivy day i was like okay which one of these am i rooting for

[steep wasp]

YES SLAY

im kinda like that bcuz like

[faint wadi]

and when i researched brown more i was like FUUUCK this rejection will be devastating.

[steep wasp]

i have 8 dream schools LOL

[faint wadi]

😍😍

[steep wasp]

aww that's actually so wholesome that it worked out yk

my dream schools currently are

[faint wadi]

yes it was a joyous day

i cried

[steep wasp]

Uchicago/brown/stanford/usc/UCI/bu/northwestern/Columbia

VERY wide range lol

[faint wadi]

oooooo

i only applied to columbia and brown out of those

[steep wasp]

[faint wadi]

IM BROKE AS HEELLLLL NEED RHAT ENGINEERING DEGREE

[steep wasp]

But my very asian parents need that stem back up so😔

[faint wadi]

😭

my parents barely graduated high school so they were just like YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT !!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO

[steep wasp]

LOL that's v cute actually

My parents are

[faint wadi]

it is cute

[steep wasp]

do whatever you want but also make sure you make money

[faint wadi]

fax

[steep wasp]

my mom told me she wouldn't spend all her life savings on an English degree 😭

[brazen ferry]

Bluds a journalism major whos gonna tell her 😭

[steep wasp]

IM GOING TO LAW SCHOOL

[faint wadi]

we are redneck white trash on the low so it’s all positive things about any education

[brazen ferry]

Bluds making 50k as a paralegal 🔥🔥🔥

[steep wasp]

my mom was lowk pissed when i told her i applied to northwestern as an English major instead of journalism

[faint wadi]

interesting

[steep wasp]

but like all of my essays were very creative writing focused😭

[brazen ferry]

Major doesnt matter tho right

[steep wasp]

yeah but still

i talked a lot about creative writing dept

[brazen ferry]

Why not do polisci

Or gov

[steep wasp]

bro lawyers in California are actually so rich

[brazen ferry]

Major

[faint wadi]

dual major cs and literary arts at brown and every problem is solved

[steep wasp]

i wanna go to stanford law school

[steep wasp]

ah but there is one problem

[brazen ferry]

Im not smart enough for cs 🔥🔥

[steep wasp]

im not getting in

[faint wadi]

u guys thinking so far ahead idek what classes im going to take and school starts in a week 🔥

[brazen ferry]

I still havent done my brown video

[steep wasp]

i developed an interest in polisci v recently so idk whether I like it enough to study it for 4 years yk? whereas writing is something I've known forever i wanna do like 5 year old me's ambition was author by day rockstar by night😭

im interested in a lot of things including polisci psych sociology so rn the plan is get into college then take classes and figure out what im passionate about

[brazen ferry]

Brown would be great for that

Uchicago tho…..

💀

[faint wadi]

if doing creative writing doesnt work out as a major then it will always still be ok. u can have a professional job and still keep ur favorite hobbies and intertwine them

[faint wadi]

columbia too 😍

brown beefing eith columbia rn

core curriculum vs fun curriculum

[steep wasp]

core!!!

[steep wasp]

exactly

[faint wadi]

im personally engineering but to destress from classes i songwrite and that is ok

your true passions will always work out

anyways point is dont stress too much about specifics rn

i was the same and i wish i just took it day by day

[brazen ferry]

If u get deferred usc are u gonna ed2

[steep wasp]

idkkkkutdgjkcstijch

rn im in a very confused state

fuck it we ball bro

[limber valley]

my brown video was just a whole bunch of videos of me dancing

I was lazy and didn't have time to think about something REALLLYYYYY interesting so I just looked over my phone and dumped all the relevant dancing videos into it + recorded myself reading scripted stuff

[steep wasp]

IT'S SO CUTE THO

[bronze bobcat]

this is the only year ive gotten precollege emails

😂

being spammed

[little snow]

im scared to block them because what if i miss important mail

[tacit obsidian]

same why are they sending so many

[earnest heron]

real LMAO

[earnest heron]

oh!

[rare mortar]

you can actually check the video submitted! you just need a specific link. look at the comments of this post https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/ku3aes/didnt_get_to_preview_my_brown_video_portfolio/

[hidden heart]

char you should definitely do litr workshops

also you promised you'd show me some of your poems

[polar lagoon]

no but same 💀

[bronze bobcat]

So so strange and they’re really only from brown 🤨

[polar lagoon]

I got some from umich as well

but it was for stamps school of art

[bronze bobcat]

That’s actually weird

[steep wasp]

OMG THANKS

[gusty bane]

hi brown thread

[worldly shale]

don't worry about it, it's like that for everyone

[small parrot]

was browsing video intro on ytb then. everyone seems so interesting

HI GUYS

I ❤️ BROWN

[round knoll]

every time i have to do my physics hw im comforted by the fact that i do not ever have to even smell another physics class ever again during my life at brown

[gusty bane]

W

same

[round knoll]

im too scared to check my answer

i think i got it wrong

[gusty bane]

it doesn't matter ngl

in ap physics c sometimes i do all the equations and then put made up answers

i just lose a point for the made up answer

and get everything else

its great

[round knoll]

😭

did i tell you

how i got a 200/300 on the final

WITH THE CURVE

i swear i thought i was doing everything right

[gusty bane]

😨

[gusty bane]

😔

[round knoll]

i still scraped an A 😭

my grade went down 5% but its ok

[gusty bane]

W

[gusty bane]

actually for getting a 66% percent on the final only losing 5% is incredible

it doesn't matter anymore either 🙏

[round knoll]

its okay because my drawing was good

[gusty bane]

[gusty bane]

😨

my brown video should never see the daylight.

ever.

[mortal iris]

mine probably won’t since it was submitted so late 😭

[tacit obsidian]

this

mine was rough 😭😭

[indigo tree]

I havent submitted my video yet

what happens if I send it now

[little snow]

they might've reviewed your app without the video already

[indigo tree]

I belive they review apps like three times

or, at worst, two?

[little snow]

maybe, maybe not

[indigo tree]

yup, but instead of * I believe*, I know they do that.

[mortal iris]

just submit it now; there’s nothing you can do otherwise

[indigo tree]

either way, we'Ll see how it goes 😄

[mortal iris]

that’s not really how it works, the first reader passes it down to the second reader but the first reader presents what they find to the committee

[indigo tree]

they read updates

that's what I'm sure of tho

[mortal iris]

maybe, maybe not

[little snow]

this isnt really an update tho?

[indigo tree]

yup

[plain lotus]

hi is any acceptance here willing to share their brown vids?

[restive lantern]

How bad is it if I haven’t done my brown vid yet

And is it even worth sending it in atp

[little snow]

kinda

[valid magnet]

you don't have to send it in to get accepted but it does help the ao's see your personality

[rough river]

Where can I upload my LOCI?

Should I upload it as supplementary material to the portal or send them an email?

[urban hollow]

i htink supplemenrary materials

[rough river]

Thanks

[tulip stream]
