nah
Been using the brown rejection simulator and it's not that bad lol
huh
send

Lollll who made this???
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
why did my heart sink
Frr tho lol
It says error for me
Even the simulator cant think of the possibility of me getting rejected


blud is too cracked
U guys are such a well behaved megatrhead
i appreciate u guys
this is why brown is goated fr
Cmu thread is the best behaved 
only cool people like brown
Does Brown admit by Major?
no bc they dont even have majors 🤓
jk but i doubt it bc of the open curriculum
they are prob looking to fill out niches to some extent
yep
you prob have at least an inherent bias towards you if you have a niche major/interest
yeah im pretty sure all schools have a little if your applying for like romance languages over comp sci
blud forgot im in here
Rejected from BC somewhat made me nervous
I submitted a portfolio through Slideroom which says Regular Decision Visual Art 2023/2024.
However there is also an Academics section to fill-out FIRST/SECOND concentration preference. I'm confused here are portfolios considered?
Yes
Thanks!
Visual arts profile and music profile are quite nice additions
you were yield protected no problem
Thanks! I’ve had enough rej this week
i aint feeling good
i only need brown
my dream school
i put three years into my video portfolio
no joke
chat is it brownover
you see the trick is to not do the video portfolio
they dont like any hints of desperation so you need to show them you dont care
i shat out that brown portfolio the night it was due
had no idea what i was doing
im prolly cooked
there’s the positivity 👏
Don’t worry I took one spot away from a ultra competitive, cancer curing applicant to give a spot to someone here
You’re welcome
I want this energy fr fr 😂
This energy gonna get me in fr fr
Hundo
Im totally with you I decided last week, personally, that I will be getting in as well
Ive decided it so
You are both right. I‘ve already getting in too. Just waiting for them to release😎
brover
Can't wait for ivy day nglll
Same im actually excited
Sameee
have only three results to see. gonna be thrilling
the hope is dwindling after LAC day
don't think like that!
every decision is independent
whatever happened on LAC day will have no bearing on ivy day
so true. my application is so good they're going to accept me twice
There we go
We’re just waiting for the acceptance letter
!ivyday
My application is so good they're gonna submit their own application for me to attend
No
do it in #🤖-bot-commands
Bro wdym no 😭
straight to the point
exactly ive seen people getting rejected from amherst or something but getting in yale
every decision is independent which is why it kinda seems random to us lol
me personally i got rejected from both 🔥
rej from yale and williams here🔥
but accepted to brown!
yoooo i got rejected from williams as well
so true!
im a man so brown prolly wants me so bad
i got rejected from williams :(
wl here
two years ago Williams admitted a 6HL from our scholl; one year ago Brown admitted a 6HL from our school. Given I am rejected by Williams, I am admitted by Brown. Poor logic but promising still😎
brown going need blind for intl from co29 is going to be my copium on ivyday
i didnt get in cause i didnt apply in co29 😃😃
damn
what is hl
w logic
I’m assuming higher level IB
ohh gotcha
I do 4HL and honestly most of them are very approachable and like not actually difficult, just a lot of work
So if u were a native speaker of ur foreign language class I could see 5 or 6
I know someone who did 5 but only took the exams for 3
True. Just workload in most cases
I do. Ody did. ngl that was still screwed. glad our school is cutting that off now
True. maybe ibo starts to regulate. we‘re like taking HLs more than the allowed number fr
our school teaches hl sciences regardless
no diff between english hl and sl at our school
no diff between 2nd lang hl and sl at our school
ib social sciences that arent history = free af
and math aa hl isnt that hard
boom 6 hls
fair enough & i mostly agree. still condescending af
I also mostly agree but likr obv individually nothing is hard, the difficulty comes from juggling the assignments in all those classes all at once while also doing all ur other shit
u said u play guitar right ? @hidden heart
which guitar are they using for this? Electric, right ?
shit I can’t send audio recording
where would you buy this type of guitar from hypothetically and how long do you think it would take to learn this part for someone who has some instrumental capabilities and 1-2 hrs of free time per day, hypothetically
most likely a strat or a gretsch
A.M.!
Gibson LP and SG used in this album. problly plus some British amps
learn in 1-2 days. simply barred chords & plain melody
They used Strat in early days and shifted to LP in this album
personally never tried a gretsch though. could be nice
if you're not interested in the exact model used here, you could get a good ol solid body electric from any major guitar store (guitarcenter, sweetwater, reverb, etc). stratocasters are a good first option, especially for this type of music.
if you've played a string instrument before, learning this within a week is definitely plausible (though it may take a bit longer to play it that clean!)
thanks guys
ofc
dyk what times the ivies release usually
just sounds like a strat w od
Good luck bro 😭
Brown (if i get accepted) or Georgia Tech for Engineering ?
GT for engineering but brown for the vibes
if I get into Brown, it will be for a much lower cost whereas for Georgia, I will be paying 50 K a year
oh then go to brown fs
lowk this might be
a little crazy
but like i have an irrational fear that if i go to a good school
i will be ostracized for my ass handwriting LOL
i feel like the better school the worse handwriting
oops luck left?
I have fantastic calligraphy but horrible handwriting at the same time
damn you do chinese calligraphy?
nah. Latin calligraphy
im in engineering at brown and id rather be shot dead than go to any other school for engineering hope this helps 🫶
nicee hopefully i get in
Why?
“Brown received 48,898 applications for the Class of 2028, the third-largest applicant pool in the University's history. Brown will make 1,621 Regular Decision offers of admission to the incoming Class of 2028, in addition to the 898 Early Decision admission offers made in December. The overall admit rate for this year's pool is 5 percent, with a Regular Decision admit rate of 3.7 percent.”
it was an email to counselors
Ohh gotcha
3.7% wtf we'r ecooked
💪
When does the admission rate stop dropping like omg
what the fuck
holy fuck
even less than last year
it’s your dream!
my dream indeed
3.7 WHATTT
during ed you were mad at brown for raising the acc %
omg you remember that
very selfless
yes lmao
i honestly think raising ed chances is stupid as a concepot
this is rough…
because it binds students and while it looks better for yield
brown.
it binded me😧
BYPSHM

no
honestly
SHPYBM
shpi-bim
💀
HBPSM
(half of brown students would've chosen yale over brown)
maybe including me
actually no yale's creative writing isn't as good
i think we replace harvard tbh
that's true
is rhode island any better
after visiting new haven for 10 minutes and talking to 2 yale students i realized it is horrible
at least college hill is
Providence ahhhh
college hill is so great
general providence isn't as great but boston might as well be the closest city
yes lots of good food
hmm what kind of cuisine do you like
I don’t live in Prov so I honestly dk much restaurants😭
also providence place is actually pretty great for a shopping mall
i liked that
yeah no clue🫠
it was like underground
pp is a solid mall, has Apple Store😀
omg
i too judge malls by the presence of an apple store
apple certified store ✔️
FR
isn’t that mall like the largest carpeted mall in whatever
LMAO fascinating stat
there’s also some nice cafes around the mall area + the state house which is cool ig😭
that area overalll is just really nice
the veteranian concert hall (or whatever it's called) is SO AESTHETIC
so excited to see the chaos unfold
as i sip tea and have fun over spring break
brown best school in the pacific north west
"pacific north west"
add caltech LOL also rea
its a joke babes
no lol
ok
yes and i was being sarcastic
honestly
caltech is so underrated
it is same tier as MIT
caltech has a 2% acceptance rate
which means highest tier
i dont think its underrated 😭
does not get talked about nearly enough
everyone knows it
lmfao
yes they do
its consistently talked about
yeah but the amount of people who want to genuinely go
since they're so theoretical oriented
its so obvious ur not a stem major
caltech has been sought after as one of the most prestigous and desired schools for so long
maybe in nyc yeah
prob ur circle
?
no
most nyc people gun for mit, considering its closer
no idea then
you need to consider geographical factors too
i mean yeah
but u cant say a school is underrated cuz mit is more popular
mit is a far more prolific dream school i agree
caltech is kinda pushed down i forget it exists LOL
which makes caltech underrated in comparison
so every school is underrated
even though caltech has arguably contributed more to pure science
eh
actually lemme not say that
fascinating statements lmfao
yale law school accept me
you're on a roll today
im gunning for columbia law
i dont like harvard law
too conservative
im a queer racial minority woman of color...
awwww
wdym
labels literally encourage division no matter what you claim its role is
oh brother
are u one of those 'i dont see color' people
😭
no
so u do see color?
and yes its almost like....we belong to different groups....which have labels....oh my god!!!
#crazyfact
i simply do not believe any sort of labels such as ethnicity should be emphasized if we truly want to unite people
if you're trying to form a society that does not discriminate and divide itself why would you include these labels at all
the emphasis is stupid
ur like one of those people who 'discover' things and think theyre being groundbreaking when they are saying things minorities have known since th ebeginning of time
wdym
so why are you here
ive been so happy recently
go do something more fun
i went to a cafe to work w my friend
and i dont want to work
so im here
go read a book
oh i am reaidng a book
im reading a poetry book actually
you're literally saying bs
crush by richard siken
and wasting your time here
i love him
sometimes i want to waste my time
we're going to a comedy show later
and i dont want to do my work rn
guys omg 3.7% rd acceptance rate this year im dead
brown?
good luck
1 in 27 basically
lmfao what
to me, 1 in 27 sound so much better than 3.7%
1 in 27 does not sound bad?
not as bad to me as 3.7%
other way around for me
i think its the way the numbers sound idk
its interesting
omg i was walking with my friend around nyc until 4 AM the other day
and we were talking about how its so interesting that perspecrtive is so different for everyone
same 1 in 27 doesnt sound awful
huh
right
cuz 1/27 doesnt sound too bad but 3/100 sounds horrible to me
maybe it's because 1 in 27 makes every individual sound a bit more equal
um
i dont think its that
i think it is
at least not for me
💀
ok
for me its because 3 is so small and 100 is so big
if it's 3.7% i just think well i have to be in the top 3.7 percent
where as 27 isnt that big
and i've done that quite well my life
and 1 is only 2 less than 3
i mean yeah
lowk common sense but i get what u mean
well isn't that just emphasis on the one
why are you trying to insult everything i say today
why are u saying today
like i dont laways do that
💀
you're usually not this bad
also because u literally cant keep info to urself
and i dont like it
it left a bad taste in my mouth
ok so don't talk to me maybe??
no i know
why are you literally trying to talk to me and be rude
i know that now
because im bored
but i wont tell u anything important anymore is what i mean
and i told you not to
i didnt think the reason was because you were a blabbermouth 💀
but yeah note taken
you're being a total bitch about it
Brown 3.7% rd😭😭😭
Bruh
it's brownover
I’m gonna get brownccepted
yeah ngl my community supp was kinda wack lmao
Community supp??
Students entering Brown often find that making their home on College Hill naturally invites reflection on where they came from. Share how an aspect of your growing up has inspired or challenged you, and what unique contributions this might allow you to make to the Brown community.
Ohh got it
My whackiest is the what will you teach others and I shared how computer science is extremely creative major which I now vomit on it
But i think the ao gonna think its quirky
hey there’s still a chance dont give up
3.7%💀
omg i wrote about fanfiction hope they admit me lmaooo
i wrote about geoguessr pls admit me
me too 😳
YES
Bro do u wanna essay swap 😳
YES
YES OMG
Rejected by vandy cuz they know I‘ll matriculate in brown😎
Rejection is a redirection they say
redirect me to brown pls
id also like to be redirected to brown
I am a normal applicant! (PLEASE LET ME IN PLEADE PLEASE PLS PLEASE PL
i will sell my soul for u brown (im normal)
so real cheezboi
should i read my brown supps
i should be nervous for the result but im actually nervous for tonight‘s performance
theyre not good
don't stress yourself more
what is meant to be will be, genuinely, don't harp on what you've already finished
lmao i already looked
yeah i actually like my supps lmao 
the short answers were decent
no use stressing now tho
decisions have already been made
yeah
don't have to necessarily like your essays for them to yield you good results
don't think i totally liked mine for brown last year
actually nvm not true
i loved my creative pieces
yeah same
at first i hated that there was 7 but ngl it was fun
they really value creativity
actually you know what'd be interesting
ask an AI to review all your essays and decide which schools you're gonna get into
if you haven't already
lmao
maybe i should do that
"yeah hey these are my uchicago essays why tf did they reject me"
everytime i see my brown portfolio
video portfolio
it gets better and better
fr
because im just
the most humble applicant ever
same except it gets worse and worse for me (help me
i'm convinced my video did more harm than good
i cannot stress how bad it is lmao
Nah bro trust
Anyone still up
im up 😉
I didn’t do the video so I made peace w that a long time ago LOL
who else up praying
I think everyone
im vibing rn lol
i've come to peace with it
i got into a t20 for cs so i'm not that worried anymore 💀
WWWW
true it would still be nice to get in but ig it is what it is 😅
Fax
transfer tho 👀
I can’t believe Ivy day is tmr. This day we’ve been looking at for months guys. It’s finally here. March felt so far away but now it’s here
Or at least know I did my best
today for me
😭
Yeah I’m on EST too
sure lol dm
So crazy
Bet
the day ive been lucking at for years*
And I hope somewhere done the line
All of u get to believe that none of this bullshit really mattered
good luck friends
Good luck 🤞🤞🤞
ill read and tell u how slay they ar
Uhh sure
same
its 1250
ill go to sleep actually
bye server ill come back if i get in somewhere
oh shit get some rest soon
Uhh yeah
!ivy
i have no hope
theres always hope until theres none
i rushed my essays and procrastinated my video to the point that it does not exist
wise words
i didnt even do it
you dont need a video
it will be okay
Is brown homophobic?
im gay and i havent been h-crimed yet so
i would say no
anyways in all seriousness, brown is gay asf
very lgbtqia+ friendly
and for the very small minority that are homophobic, its easy, just dont interact with them
it will be ok
what will
i hate when people are replying to others but dont reply to it manually
like nobody knows what ur saying
mb
no need
vid isnt required if the rest of ur app is superb
i know just everything in general
lol yh
wouldnt wish ivy day on my worst enemy
or college app experience in general
thank god stanford vandy and some others arent the 28th
places like china and india have it way worse
i wouldnt go back to high school application era even if i was offered 10k lol
i know lol
im chinese
that doesnt mean its not still bad
lmfaoooo
immigrant mentality
hated suffering so much just to move across the world and suffer
we'll see about that
i think compared to chinese public school, yes i suffered less
thats ur opinion
i went to chinese public school for one year
it depends on what kind of person and student u are
i would honestly thrive in either
im not rly a test person
the harsh deadlines pump me with dread and that forces me to do well
or a stem person
well then yeah obviously chinese system isnt for you genius
holistic admission 👍
i loved it
i love showing personality in my app
give me the opportunity to yap and i will out yap everyone
the essays werent bad but the waiting sucks
essays were so much fun
i loved the whole experience
I yapped so hard with the why us essay lmao
oh me too lmao
what did u say?
the what brings you joy essay was good imo
I felt like I just named like to many stem programs and classes and I glazed the GPA thing a little too hard too
wdym by the gpa thing
that we dont have gpa?
if the rest of ur app is exceptional its okay
Yeah lol 😆
i've been rejected from every other private
i applied to
what did u say about that for why us tho
must be a fucking miracle if I get in
that it relieves stress?
well u better wish for a miracle then 😅
i talked abt a class and how it related to me
ur religious right
gonna need that Jesus pill on God
LOL
i remember studying religious experinece in high school
have one of those
That without GPA I'll be able to compete with myself at Brown while still working in a rigorous environment or sumn like that
Very cringe and regrettable lol
i hope my theology shit was enough for them to admit
not many people go in for theology
i see i see
i mean like
we still get grades
so im not entirely sure what u mean
brown plme
but i somewhat get it
I need to save people sooner not later
erm
im pretty sure its the same length
mcat studying bruv
plme guarantees u get into med school
- med schools discriminate against right out of school applicants
they want you to have gap years
Exactly I realized this too late
I was on to something but not really lol
i need to apply to the harvard law deferral program next year
idt i want harvard law tho
i need to start prepping the lsat sigh
law school too
hey its okay!
thats 1 sentence out of many
May God bless me with a good school
brown is a long shot
but could be
I am brown

Ok that's true lol
which classes did u talk about?
i want to see if i recognize any
i talked abt Love Hurts: Romance, Media, Masochism
from which sem is that i cant find it
nvm i got it
Sex and the Law and Frontiers of Graph Algorithm (because I was really hyperfixated on graphs at the time)
One more but I can't remember lol
i got it
oooooooooo
what the hell
niche ass class
OH WAIT
its 2 classes
😭
i saw sex and the law when i was looking through the syllabus
it seems rly interesting
yall be doing too much imma be honest
its not that deep
i think i talked about wanting to 'explore other concentrations such as history'
💀
i commend the effort tho frfr
idk i just like scrolling through classes
i spent so long for uchicago just to be rejected
Yeah my counselor recommended that I did a lot of research lmaooo
i think its good u mentioned those classes bc its very diverse
law and mathematics stuff
At Brown, I plan on utilizing the Open Curriculum to its full potential to study the interdisciplinary intersection of architecture, sustainable ecology, and plastics materials science.
average brown student
at least u tried
i swear i said the same exact thing
Yeah I was hoping it was
I want to combine gender studies and data science somehow
I'm also thinking of public policy now as well
what concentration is sex and law under
i want to take it
also thats sick fr
fully utilizing the interdisciplinary open curriculum
its really giving brown
wait omg
i have a friendd oing that
they're concentrating in gnss and applied math tho not datsci
I think it was gender studies but my memory is cooked rn
yh that makes sense thx
pray for me boys
for the PLME
gonna need to take the divine council to get this shit on
i didn't apply but i just wanted to say gl to everyone ik this shit is stressful asl
Brown pleaseeeeeee
🤎 I’m praying so hard ohmygod
this is the only school today I have any hope for and it’s my dream school but the admit rate is crushing me 😭
SAMEEEE
I HAVENT GOTTEN INTO ANY REACHES YET EITHER 😭 AHHH
11 hours
brown
What time?
use !ivyday in #🤖-bot-commands
Oh they all come out at that time?
yes
e
hi open curriculum
brown let me in you totally want a deranged cartographer in your class of 2028 pls pls pls 🙏
yes… i may even let it all out
3.7% 🥲
actually it’s 50%
you are either accepted
or you aren’t
:)
remain positive!!!
it’s not over until it’s over!
3.88 last year
and it still worked out for me
and i don’t think i’m as excellent as y’all
i actually applied brown ED
and was deferred
so i’m not expecting much from this one
is brown defer rate high or low
if it's low ur chilling
like 15%?
Same for me, deferred ED
hmm okay so you're better off than the average RD applicant i imagine
ok so you’ll hit that 15% defer x 3.7% admit = 0.9% 😱
didn’t actually do the math there but actually about 0.59
waitlisters be like: 
Yall just take a nap until 7 and open up the portal as soon as you wake up
You'll be too tired to get nervous lmao
Bro I have school 😭
I mean after school lmao
I have school until 9 PM EST 😭
are u on the robotics team
orchestra
and then ill go home and shower
so ill open them at like 10 PM

What instrument do you play? I used to play viola when I was younger
W
I wish I didn't quit lol
SOOOOOOOOO CUTE
everyone here plays like 3 instruments
and speaks like 3 languages
its so silly
True hopefully I can start this summer
i play 5 ill fit right in!! (brown please let me in) 🙏
but i only speak 1 language
BROWN PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
Brown please!!
include me for a quintet
i actually play 4 instruments because i play bb clarinet a clarinet bass clarinet and eb clarinet 👆 💡 🤓
Multitalented ✨️
(theyre all the same instrument but just different lengths) im so multitalented
Multitalented ✨️
frrr
It's so Brunover 😢😭
know what i just produced and performed in a concert tonight. i win 😎
hellllll naw
no
i didnt simp for no college other than like upenn and then i regreted my decision like 2 months before results came out (thank god i was rejected)
nah
i didnt simp for anything bc i didnt wqna be crushed and fo sho not yale
i remmebe this
regardless id rather be at brown after seeing the culture of both now
hm fair
lets see what brown decided to do after deferring me
yo
do u know which guitar this is too
nvm I found one i thijk
Kyser Quick-Change Capo ?
not familiar with this band though. but u r referring to a capo or a guitar?
problly some single coil guitar like Strat or Tele
i watched some yt vids on how to play the song and the guy was using this, sounded close enough
with reverbs etc.
hmmmmm
im sure they‘re problly referring to this.
to what
y cannot i send a pic
prob too low level
my bad for not using discord so@often
capper bruh
this is a straight promo page
o well ill figure it out
nvm sent u a dm
gonna check out some guitar shops near me
It’s always nice to start with the same model as your music inspiration
Just found an interview and it says they used a Guyatone Mosrite Copy (Sth I never heard of
But fr Sweetwater doesn’t need my promotion. It’s one of the most famous gear platforms
No prob
I’m here in China and if there’s anything I couldn’t find locally I’ll go for Sweetwater or Reverb
I mean Gibson is the origin of that model but there are for sure many budget options out there like Epiphone etc.
Can even save you a 0 as a starting point
i have too many interests and too little time
i need to make time
ill check out the stuff u recc'd
tyty
Couldn’t agree more
!ivyday
4 hours guys
good luck guys
7 pm est
lmao
Eeeek

gl!!
i love chaos
brown pls im just a silly little guy
get me in
i think all the intelligent people need a little jester

Passing on from @fathom lion A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THEIR DECISION:
regardless of what your portal reads when decisions are released, your worth is not defined by which school you attend.
things will work out the way they are meant to FOR YOU.
don’t reread your essays or compare your stats; everything is relative & what is meant to be will be.
the best of luck to all who applied! ❤️
yall acting like this the hunger games
well it kinda is
I didn't apply here I just don't want people to get depressed over a rejection 😭
tbf people take this vv seriously
oh no i know
i took it so seriously
it was all or nothing
its okay!! vid isnt required
if the rest of ur app is exceptional its fine
ive met a few people who didnt submit
