❤️❤️

[proper raft]

my counselor said they deferred a significant amount

[hazy leaf]

what

they defer like 18% i think

[proper raft]

huh 18% isn’t a lot

[hazy leaf]

yeah i was gonna say

[proper raft]

Of the students accepted from the Early Decision applicant pool, 19% are the first generation in their family to attend college. The admitted students come from 51 nations, 49 U.S. states, and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The countries most represented outside the United States are Canada, China including Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, India, Singapore, South Korea and Pakistan.

The Board of Admission has voted to defer 18% of our Early Decision applicants for a second evaluation of their credentials during the Regular Decision process. We will review their materials already submitted, as well as any credentials received in the coming months. The only additional items we require from deferred students are their Midyear Report and Transcript following the completion of the first semester or second trimester. Students may elect to upload additional information through the Brown Applicant Portal, including updates regarding senior year activities. Additional recommendation letters are neither requested nor required. Deferred applicants, along with all Regular Decision applicants, will receive decisions from us on March 27, 2025.

We have also denied 62% of this year’s Early Decision applicants. We are very aware that this is not the outcome these students had hoped for, and want you to know that we have made every effort to make the same decision on their applications in December that we would have made in late March. Our deliberations throughout this process reflect our recognition of the competition for places in the entering class and our obligation under Early Decision to help students in their transition to college by advising them early, even when the decision may be disappointing.

[safe birch]

I got in

Thankfully

[civic umbra]

congrats

[civic umbra]

interesting, first gen data numbers seem high

would recommend watching this video, stats of 2028 admissions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pih-xp_52mg&ab_channel=CollegeMeister

[cyan abyss]

i see a different vision

[full river]

congrats 🎉

[oak quiver]

So there was a 20% acceptance rate this year??

[proper raft]

18% yeah

[safe birch]

Thanks all

[dapper oasis]

damn

[crimson crag]

[proper raft]

been out

[crimson crag]

damn

[pseudo crown]

how much does legacy matter

[dapper oasis]

idk

i got rejected double legacy feeder school to uchicago

:xd:

[oak garden]

both parents uchicago?

[sly torrent]

yessir

[dapper oasis]

ye im a fucking supervillain

still got on the deferral -> rejection train

ea -> rd

xd

[lone tiger]

I know some people that got deferred

Wait who here got into regular brown!??

[cyan abyss]

my friend is triple legacy, got deferred

[gray folio]

with all due respect how are they finding love here

let me in on that shit

[cyan abyss]

LMAO

his dad mom and older sister all went to brown and bro still didnt make it

[vital river]

to be fair he might get in RD

[lilac edge]

my reaction to being deferred was literally "ok" like now i have to wait until march 27

so many things might happen until then

[dapper oasis]

true like knee surgery

[lilac edge]

does brown look at LOCI

[dapper oasis]

errr

i submitted one so i hope so

LOL

[oak garden]

ik someone in a town over from mine who did

[mossy comet]

https://www.brown.edu/news/2024-12-13/early-decision

[karmic cobalt]

who got in so far

[frozen moth]

there's a poll

[undone dock]

that's a 17.94% ED acceptance rate

[wise yew]

anyone here that's a current student and preferably experienced w/ cs that I can ask a few questions to? im writing my essay and i want to know a little more than what the website has

[violet wren]

i’m not a current student but i applied as a cs major and did lots of research and discussing

if you’d like i can help out

[dapper oasis]

do not apply

anywhere

ur getting into cornell

trust

i have the crystal ball

no reason to worry

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[warped turtle]

what does it say for me 🙏

[dapper oasis]

ur adopted

[warped turtle]

💀

it all makes sense now

[dapper oasis]

fuck.

🫂🫂

ur also getting kidnapped by the cartel tmrw

gl bro

[warped turtle]

YAYYYY

[wise yew]

if i do, i'll send u a video of me burning my brown essay in a giant bonfire

[dapper oasis]

good

i am a cornell glazer

so good

[wise yew]

i am also a huge cornell glazer but i will instantly turn into a huge cornell hater if they reject me

[dapper oasis]

rly

im still a uchicago glazer

[royal inlet]

Omg thats acc such a good idea

Im printing out all my essays (using my school library printer bc thats a lot of paper) and making the biggest fire ever

Its gettin kinda cold anyway

[proper raft]

dude I should do this

thank you

[bright scarab]

You don't need the checklist
The loci is supplementary material that is always visible in the portal

Verify with someone else

[full river]

how good are chances of getting accepted in the RD round if one is deferred

[violet wren]

i think roughly the same as getting accepted RD in general

brown doesn’t defer too many people

[full river]

ohhhh

[full river]

yeahhh
unlike Harvard and MIT 😭

[violet wren]

yeah i don’t like how they do it

they’re essentially just pulling the applicants along

[full river]

exactly 💯
how is Harvard's deferral rate 80smth %
it feels like they just glance through and if you don't "stand out", you just get thrown in the RD pool
unless your app is so terrible, a deferral is almost likely

[karmic cobalt]

is a 3.9 or a 3.89 a good gpa for brown

because the freshman slump might've hit me too badly

[violet wren]

i had a 3.83-3.85 uw gpa

i think you’re fine as long as there’s an upward trend and you have good test scores

[warped turtle]

Kinda kicking myself bc im only now doing RD for brown and i feel like I should’ve done ED because now im researching it and I genuinely like it more than what i REA’d to (caltrch) am i cooked 😭

I deadass forgot that was a thing 😃

Welp i will pay attention to that later

[violet wren]

i think it did help me yes

[wise yew]

was urs sweaty

[violet wren]

i wrote a poem and overlayed it onto music i produced

with clips/skits over it

it was a gamble but was really proud of the outcome

dude your video is gonna be amazing trust we gotta cook

[wise yew]

imma pull in all my video editor friends

and bribe them with mc chickens

[green holly]

did anyone submit low sat

idk like 1400

just lower than 1500

[long glacier]

oop

[green holly]

outs is super low bc its rural in latin america

1150

really?

[long glacier]

my schools avg at ilke 1480 😭

[green holly]

yep..

JAHSJAJA

im not sure if upenn actually sees TO tho

thats good

brown looks a lot at sat scores

i think

[karmic cobalt]

oh nice, what are you going to major in at brown

[violet wren]

likely a concentration merging music composition with computer science

[gray folio]

i didnt do it

[gray folio]

literally indistinguishable from a 4.0

[karmic cobalt]

even for plme?

are you a current student at brown

[gray folio]

no im just some random dude not affiliated with brown lurking exclusively in the brown megathread

false alarm bro

[warped turtle]

Real

[north pollen]

yes and be as authentic without worrying about editing. just be honest of why you like brown

[warped turtle]

finally cranked out a first draft of the 2nd essay 😭🙏

[dreamy saddle]

Guys do any of y'all know how the "InitialView" Interview works?
How different is it from a normal college interview?

[alpine pilot]

@violet wren THIS GUYS MY GOAT HE'S SO AWESOM E HE'S SO COOL I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

sry i like just joined back

i had to make the announcement

[violet wren]

THANK YOU🙏🏼🙏🏼💯‼️

you’re the real goat though

5 star essay reviews btw ^

[iron eagle]

anyone applying plme

[warped turtle]

how serious were yalls 3 words
were they actual adjectives or nouns

im doing slightly silly nouns/1 adjective but my parents dont like that 💀

[wraith tinsel]

i had regular adjectives but i know of some people who went more unconventional

[warped turtle]

Do you think unconventional is okay or would it get too abstract at some point

Like one of them is easy enough to understand (bird-loving) but the other 2 i think you need to think hard about them to understand what I’d mean so idk if thats the best choice

[dapper oasis]

mine were shit

my video was also shit

idk how i got in

[warped turtle]

Oh

Ok thanks 🙏

Don’t give me false hope tho

[wraith tinsel]

same here i did my video in an hour on a sunday morning of november 3rd because it was due the next day

let’s just say it was far from a cinematic masterpiece

[wraith tinsel]

maybe i can advice if i see them

[alpine pilot]

i got admitted and mine were

killer-queeeeen gunpowder gelatine

💀

my video was also not too crazy

i stared at the screen, unedited, unfiltered, and yapped about like nothing, then submitted it

ig im just funny

[warped turtle]

Ok real

[alpine pilot]

i wouldn't overthink the video or the words

being unconventional with the words might actually serve you better and show a pop of unexpected personality

video priortiize content 10000%

[gray folio]

im not saying but one of my friends put the literal goofiest shit for his 3 words and i laugh every time i think about it

[modern mesa]

As a creative doofus, the video might be my favourite part of applying to this school at all

[gray folio]

i was too serious with my words

i wish i did something cool like song lyrics

[modern mesa]

Ohh can you literally do whatever?

Well I know it’s supposed to represent you

[gray folio]

be as goofy as u want

its not really 3 words cause a lot of people will just dash their words together to beat the word limit

[modern mesa]

That’s fair aha

Ohh I had a look, there really is a character limit lmao

[alpine pilot]

then if thats your thing, go crazy :)

100%

but if its not your thing, don't stress is my point

[modern mesa]

Ohh yeah dw, it was lighthearted aha

I’m like. Genuinely looking forward to if

This school makes me giddy…

[alpine pilot]

i was dreading the video so hard 😭

brown student in the making already

[modern mesa]

This is so starry eyed juniorcore

[alpine pilot]

you're making me homophobic

[modern mesa]

Apologies…

[alpine pilot]

ur good its my own sins talking

my evil twin bazzy

[gray folio]

me when i go outside

[modern mesa]

Ahh right! Your nemesis.. the devil on your shoulder

[gray folio]

i'm just homophobic in general unfortunately

[alpine pilot]

me when i got my brown financial aid package back

[gray folio]

brown university is when the gayest guy you know randomly starts talking about his gf back home

[alpine pilot]

and the gf is named dartmouth

[modern mesa]

I unironically think about this all the time because I’m the weird kid at school and most kids aren’t going intl (we have pretty good schools here too) I think it would be pretty funny to get into the gayest ivy,,,

Supposedly… like it’d be kinda. Iconic, but in the silliest way

[warped turtle]

I watched a bunch of accepted videos and they were all like really good edited? Im not going to make it so heavily edited but at least i have basic video editing skills so imma use them

I did note that a lot of them made clear connections to ECs and stuff in the middle of the video no matter how goofy the format was so i will be doing that as well

[wraith tinsel]

i literally only had imovie transitions to switch from me talking to a voiceover of me over random stuff

[warped turtle]

is anyone willing to read the 2nd brown essay for me
i think its getting all over the place but idk

the "Share how an aspect of your growing up has inspired or challenged you" one

[alpine pilot]

well think about it like this

only the people with really well-edited videos are gonna post em on youtube

and how many have you seen? 20? 30? brown accepts like 2000 ppl a year

are you gonna tell me all 2000 of those people are masters at videomaking

[alpine pilot]

you dont even gotta do this but this is real af

like i promise yall if the best you can do is just hold up your phone and record a video and yap, that is more than enough

i am a primary source document of this

[warped turtle]

I mean if i got accepted i would post it regardless of quality but ig that works too

I will still edit it though because i want to 🙏

[gray folio]

u dont even need to do the video

[warped turtle]

But i want to 😞

[alpine pilot]

fair

[alpine pilot]

wel

its what i did

idk who overlay is

[lilac edge]

i just went to the "woods" of my high school campus, took out my phone, and recorded a chill 2 min video

[alpine pilot]

you don't have to

but if you want to you can

[dapper oasis]

do u want to see

mine

it’s technically an accepted video

and it is the worst shit on the planet

LOL

[warped turtle]

Sure ig if ur chill w it

[gray folio]

yt accepted vids are survivorship bias

the ones who overedit are the ones who post them

i say overediting like its bad

but for the majority of people somethign they randomly do on their phone is a better representation of them than what they can do with a script and editing

and on that note thats why the video isnt strictly necessary, given u have an app that does what the video already wants

[alpine pilot]

there is such thing as overediting for sure

the youtube videos usually dont overedit

but they edit very well and still rly highlight the content

its overediting where it takes away from what hte point actually was

[pliant slate]

Guys any tips for the video

I'm cooked

I'm planning on talking awkwardly into the camera

Hoping that I discover that I'm actually secretly a professional cinematographer and that I just didn't know before 😌

[warped turtle]

Same…

I KNOW

HE ATE

SO HATD

I’m doing a tour of the stuff I hang on my wall if that helps anyone w ideas

So no crazy editing just displaying pictures while I talk over it

Lmao ☠️

[wraith tinsel]

don't worry you don't need professional cinematography skills trust me

[pliant slate]

I know they can't expect everyone to make pro videos, but like... I need a crazy amount of editing to make myself presentable and not a fumbling mess 😂

[gray folio]

me

whenever my friends mentions the videos they did they're all just like "lol i gave them a room tour" or something

[pliant slate]

I'll just take a video of my geese for 2 minutes with 0 commentary

[violet wren]

through the video they want to see you in your raw, human form - being a fumbling mess is relatable and you can totally make that a positive for your app

[warped turtle]

Ah so that means i have to dramatically fall over at one point to show how clumsy i am fr

No i started filming my video and specifically cleaned up my desk as neatly as possible for the video 💀

[violet wren]

...lol i may have did that in my video

falling over

[warped turtle]

No way does falling over mean u get accepted to brown

I will try that

[violet wren]

it was relevant to the script though

[warped turtle]

Oh

[violet wren]

it was a video of me trying to do a front flip

and dying

[warped turtle]

LMFAO real

No my problem is i wanna include videos/pics of me doing stuff except i hate the camera so i dont have anything of me 💀 welp!!

It’s ok i have like 2 million videos of my budgies so my video will be on that

[cyan abyss]

film it now

[warped turtle]

No bro I’ve been holed up in my room for 4 days straight i look deep fried

[cyan abyss]

deep fried 😭

[modern mesa]

That’s so real it’s stressing me out and idk if I wanna start while I still have my entire senior year😭😭

Like I wanted a montage but I fr hate cameras but it would be so cool

I genuinely like film and editing I’m scared I might tryhard and then it looks tacky

[cyan abyss]

tryhard is better than notry

[modern mesa]

Yeah that’s fair

Multimedia and mixed media is a huge part of my life so I wanted to incorporate that

Like some of the video is drawn, animated, looks like a film, blah blah

I’m planning this early because it’s gonna be a pain to edit aha

[quasi pond]

Yeah there’s some a2cers

[alpine pilot]

i might as well not have submitted a video im ngl 💀

[warped turtle]

No I genuinely do look deep fried

[warped turtle]

Omg wait that’s so cool

[modern mesa]

Yeaaah I’m really excited about it :3

[proper raft]

zzz just talked to my counselor and she called the school to ask why

it was literally just my SAT

f thattt

[green holly]

huh

wdym

[proper raft]

the reason why it wasn’t an acceptance is that they told my counselor it was my academic scores, and I submitted my shit SAT score

[green holly]

ohh

[proper raft]

since I thought it wasn’t gonna get reinstated because I went to an info session and they said it was optional..

[green holly]

damn brown does consider sat a lot

[proper raft]

apparently bro

[green holly]

damn i didnt think they cared that mmuch

its ok u have better fit for other school

[proper raft]

hahah thank u

yeah wtv i got over it

just sucks I couldn’t retake the sat

[green holly]

true

u got this

[true lynx]

i might apply here but idk if i have a chance after being rejected columbia ed 😭

[proper raft]

a bunch of people got rejected from any Ivy ed, apply if you think you want to! you never know it’s only one out of huuundreds of other schools

[proper raft]

yeah she told me counselors could do that HAHA I was like okay!

maybe tho

wait calling them yourself?

oh yeah maybe just ask

you never know

[modern mesa]

Hey maybe a longshot but I’m intl and college price calculators (brown specific too) show me an insane cut that could change a lot about my plans… anything I should be aware of though? Esp as an international?

I’m gonna do the css profile asap (2026 year applicant) I’m probably gonna ask in #💵-financial-aid too but I’m really set on brown so if anyone knows anything or has an inkling of anything I’d appreciate it alot!

[hybrid kraken]

If you could teach a class on any one thing, whether academic or otherwise, what would it be? (100 words)*

Should this answer be like creative or just be straight honest

do they want to see our creative side

[warped turtle]

I mean what do you mean by straight honest? Like “I want to teach calculus?” If that’s what you mean by straight honest, then definitely go creative

Like I just invented a subject/class out of thin air

[modern mesa]

Oh I interpreted it more like a “class” not necessarily in a strict school setting,,, might that work too?

[warped turtle]

Some examples treated it like a class and had like a list of lectures or things they’d go over in the class

I’m just doing it more as a course description

[modern mesa]

Ahh

Alrighty then!

[hybrid kraken]

Yea that’s what I’m doing

[warped turtle]

why did youtube recommend me a video that was like "how to get into brown in TEN minutes"

[cyan abyss]

i made up a class

[violet wren]

yeah this happened to a few people! seems to be true and even if your initial offer isn’t as good as the calculated offer, you can always appeal and leverage the calculator’s info

[alpine pilot]

ATTA BOY

INFORM THESE MFS

[mossy comet]

price calculators
i thought those didnt work for intl

ive usually been told theyre domestic oriented

[royal inlet]

Why brown in 50 words 😭 and i gotta be unique ab it too

Is the first essay on open curriculum not also kinda like why brown

True makes sense

[warped turtle]

I just picked a bunch of clubs that seemed interesting to me ngl ☠️

I saved all the courses and research for the first essay

[quasi pond]

Brown has this interesting coffee milk drink

[royal inlet]

Ooh rly?

Also ive been looking at independent concentration and it seems like not that many ppl use them since well 1. Open curriculum already lets u take diff classes and 2. Might not be that attractive to employers

[quasi pond]

Yeah i forgot what it’s called but they have it on tap

[warped turtle]

Is anyone in the cheese club

[violet wren]

unsure if this worked out in my favor or not but i used my why brown essay to place an emphasis on the things ill do at brown that are important to me

one sentence is not a lot and unless you have a very unique/creative thing at brown that’ll you’ll be able to connect with your application meaningfully, you can just use it to highlight something—unique or surface level—that truly matters to you

that way, in a way it serves as an ending mic drop for you (and your overarching theme) as an applicant since it’s the last supp

[warped turtle]

idk if mentioning 3 clubs i like for certain reasons is unique enough but 🥲

[violet wren]

quality over quantity- i think that your priority isn’t to be unique (grain of salt) but to capture yourself in a personal way

and then that uniqueness will naturally shine through as long as you’re specific

[warped turtle]

i see
tysm 🙏

i think i did that

[violet wren]

hell yeah👍

[alpine pilot]

thats a really cool idea ngl, whoever told you that idea deserves all the money and hugs and kisses in the world. what a wise individual

[modern mesa]

Yeah same, but a couple had a question where you could specify intl/domestic, so I’m unsure, really. I want to be pretty sure.

[violet wren]

yeah i hope they pass their next math final or something

[alpine pilot]

bro is wise wtf

where was this wisdom

[alpine pilot]

i don't think they'll do that 💀

[violet wren]

sorry its all chatgpt generated

everything i get is from chatgpt

wrote my essays using chatgpt

[modern mesa]

R-robot???!

[violet wren]

no

[modern mesa]

I was thinking (oh my god this freaking pre-senior again) I do the why brown about the open curriculum😣😣 but not so much school wise more like talking about flexibility and the kinda person I am that would benefit from it + interdisciplinary work but condensed. Obv. Into 50 words.

[modern mesa]

Why does your name have calculator in it… are you sure you aren’t solar powered? /j

[violet wren]

im sorry but i think your message is really testing the boundaries of my reading comprehension

[alpine pilot]

can confirm

[violet wren]

that idea sounds good! that's basically what i talked about as well - and the main perk of the open curric is flexibility

just make sure to relate past experiences that sort of show that you'll be able to take advantage

[violet wren]

i mean if you think about it all organisms are solar powered

[modern mesa]

I get that a lot😞 learning to use a period once in a while.

[alpine pilot]

aint never heard someone abbreviate curriculum to curric

i would not listen to a bozo who does that

[violet wren]

sorry very busy solving cancer and stuff

short on time

have to make sacrifices

[alpine pilot]

solving cancer like it's a math problem is crazy 💀

@modern mesa hey finch what do you call a brown student

[modern mesa]

Yeah totally! I feel like just saying “open curriculum” would pretty much say nothing about me, which is the point, aha

[violet wren]

yes

agreed

[alpine pilot]

you can say open curriculum as long as you connect its openness to you

like why do you care that its an open curriculum

how is the curriculum open to you

they know their open curriculum is a thing and that its a good thing for some students, but relate it to your actual needs

[modern mesa]

Me personally I think it’d be really funny to call them (me in future😝) brownies so that when I dye my hair I can be different cake.

[alpine pilot]

a lot of things that ppl do wrong is they write the "why us" essays as like a why this college is so cool

[alpine pilot]

coincidentally, that is exactly what @violet wren thought!

[modern mesa]

Yeah I figured😭 I overanalysed too much of this app😢

[alpine pilot]

(please dont call brown students brownies)

(theyre brunonians)

[modern mesa]

I told my friend that they should replace all chants and jingles and whatever they do at yale with screaming (hahahaha) and they turned my pitch down.

[violet wren]

YYYEEEEESSSSS

VALID TAKE

[modern mesa]

Excuse me..?

Not bears…?

[alpine pilot]

bears is better than brownies

[violet wren]

i love brownies

[modern mesa]

Fair enough😞

[alpine pilot]

brownies is the equivalent of saying john hopkins in the essay

[alpine pilot]

biased

[violet wren]

based

[alpine pilot]

bsed

[violet wren]

biased without the i

[alpine pilot]

yeah i noticed

[violet wren]

no

[alpine pilot]

thanks

[violet wren]

noob

[alpine pilot]

boob

[modern mesa]

Woah there, language…

[violet wren]

skibady

[alpine pilot]

i want boob 😔

[violet wren]

rip

ayo

cap

[alpine pilot]

spamming reactions is crazy

[warped turtle]

For me I talked about how I wanna do astronomy (duh that’s the concentration I’d want to do) to learn the science, BUT I also wanna explore connections between physics/astronomy and other fields (like philosophy)
I think I saw advice somewhere which was like show how brown can cater to the interests you have, no matter how diverse they are

Oh wait oops that’s for the first essay ☠️☠️☠️

I thought you were talking about the first essay 🥲

Idk how to condense down into 50 words though so that’s why I wrote about clubs in that essay

[modern mesa]

Nah it’s chill aha! Thank you for trying to help though!

Hope apps go well for you!

[warped turtle]

Tysm same to you 🙏🙏🙏

[modern mesa]

Thank you :3

[alpine pilot]

omg i lov eastrogomy :3

[warped turtle]

That looks like gastronomy

[alpine pilot]

that too

[oblique hound]

When is brown video due for rd? I heard it is a week ahead of the rd deadline (so since rd deadline is jan 3, would video be due jan 10)

[royal inlet]

Huh video? Didn’t see that on the common app

Also thx calc berry for the tips 🙏

[dapper oasis]

it was due like 7 days after i got my application portal for me at least

🦦

take with grain of salt

[dapper oasis]

this shit is so ass

please do not drop this name if u ever talk to a brown student irl

u prob have to for the essay (unfortunately)

i think i would have a fuckjng aneurysm if someone called me a brunonian irl

😭

i’d rather be a brownie

at least that’s cute

[dreamy socket]

are the three words that best describe you prompt supposed to be like normal words

cuz collegeessaydude said this and im tripping balls rn

no way pulling up with "fish" is a good idea right 💀

[dapper oasis]

it can be literally fucking anything i'm p sure

as long as it isn't like "i hate koreans" or smth

[hybrid kraken]

If you could teach a class on any one thing, whether academic or otherwise, what would it be? (100 words)

can this be stupid af or does it have to have meaning behind it or somethign

[hot stirrup]

im doing some stupid shit

also y'all making ur brown videos yet?

[hybrid kraken]

do we need to make a video for brown

what are the brown guidelines for this year

for the video

[hot stirrup]

bruh

[hybrid kraken]

bruh i just realized

and its usually good to make a video

[hybrid kraken]

Can I make a video on just my hobbies and quarks and what I like to do?

[warped turtle]

Yeah

[warped turtle]

I think something like this, though I’m not sure of the exact date

[warped turtle]

It’ll be available on the brown specific portal after you submit on common app, but it’s optional

[warped turtle]

is anyone willing to read over my first draft of supps (theyre kinda trash 😭)

[dapper oasis]

skullboard

[wraith tinsel]

i can!

[dapper oasis]

i can if u want but i will probably make it worse

https://tenor.com/bzkeQ.gif

sigma

[warped turtle]

oh

[bright scarab]

Ohh aka does your time allow for getting your thoughts on my ps i really need it

Not a full blown review just you pointing out to what you think is important

[dapper oasis]

errr sure

[bright scarab]

Dmed u rock

[bright scarab]

Dmed u rock

[hybrid kraken]

Alright idk if my answer to the brown teaching a class is good or not

I kinda went crazy idk if it’s bad or good

[warped turtle]

Get someone to read it and if they think it’s crazy then tone it down I guess

[royal inlet]

idk how i'm supposed to tie in the teaching prompt with the rest of my application 😭 i already talked ab my academic interest why do u want another one

i dont wanna be no teacher

[warped turtle]

i think its more meant to show like what type of class you'd create? and ur creativity or something

i never considered the actual "be a teacher" part of it and i dont think the prompt intended for that

unless im horribly wrong

[gray folio]

dawg dont overthink it

“this would be a cool class to teach”

[royal inlet]

well in that scenario i would do like smth random like teach some optical engineering class (bc im interested in that) but i dont knowwwwww what i would talk ab the teaching aspect

[royal inlet]

like if i were rly answering it id be like "id teach a class where i can be as lazy as possible" or be smth like "id create an engaging courseload"

[warped turtle]

😭

[alpine pilot]

bro my class was like

on survivor

like the reality show survivor

LMAO

yall are so serious

[warped turtle]

Mine is like what if there was a class where I yap about the connections I made up between paleontology and astronomy

Survivor is so real tho

[carmine nymph]

Hi

[winter vortex]

it said academic or otherwise

[green holly]

hi guys

here for rd

is there an a2brown server

[green holly]

mine is on logical paradoxes

is this too nerd emojhi

my real worry is why brown

bc ive heard that brown is big on that one

[hybrid kraken]

Bro my class is a fucking joke it’s on memes

memelogy

[gray folio]

no but hmu ill try my best to help u when i can cause ur real af

theres a brown 29 discord that requires verification thats it

[gray folio]

because my takes are obviously the best in the world

[green holly]

also how quality does the video portfolio need to be

like i have one i just made in case i dont have time and its just me talking abt the deeper meaning behind stuff on my desk, i think its like alright content wise but really bad editing wise

[hot stirrup]

they've probably seen all kinds of videos, the production quality imo would not matter

[green holly]

bro is removing the competition 🙏 😭 💀

[lilac edge]

when should I send LOCI?

and do you have any tips specific to brown?

[dapper oasis]

my video was zero editing zero scripting

took it 7 times because i kept just staring at the camera trying to figure out what to say but otherwise yeah

i know a guy who did it one take zer oediting zero scripting bc he had to go on a trip to nevada and his parents were telling him to get into the car

[green holly]

Can someone check if my video is fine contentwise

[neat kernel]

Guys the Brown video might cook me

I have no idea what to do and I’m so bad at editing

[alpine pilot]

if u cant edit then dont edit

[neat kernel]

Can it just be me talking at the camera

[alpine pilot]

yes

thats what i did

and i got in

[waxen raven]

trash ah uni rejected me

[violet wren]

terrible uni who would ever go there

shake my head

[warped turtle]

☠️

That’s gonna be me if I get rejected

[violet wren]

valid

if you don’t get it, it doesn’t matter because you never wanted to get in anyway💯‼️

[waxen raven]

fr

rejection is redirection

got redirected to harvard

[alpine pilot]

YEAH

HARVARD

HAVARVDA

@violet wren you shouldve came to harvard

how dare you have a dream school

[violet wren]

sorry harvard is great but like

it’s not that prestigious you know

prob would have to worry about job opportunities

and stuff

[alpine pilot]

right yeah

good thing i don't do anything stupid with my time like make video game music, or else i would never get a job in the future

[violet wren]

no

i’m literally toby fox

[alpine pilot]

i mean the game you made is BASICALLY undertale

there's monsters and shit

[violet wren]

i love undertale

i was so deep in the lore

[alpine pilot]

ME TOO

I HAD SUCH AN OBSESSION

i still do

like 10% of my heart is still with undertale

[violet wren]

bro

low key almost cried

when watching those like timeline videos with sans frisk and chara

i listened to an orchestral version of the music a week ago

[alpine pilot]

bro i'd be losing friends if they killed toriel their first run

[violet wren]

so amazing

[violet wren]

BRO FR

sans is my role model

bros the peak def of a chill guy

[alpine pilot]

i had such aura showing everyone how to get the quiche

[violet wren]

nonchalant dread head

[alpine pilot]

i wanted to be sans for halloween but was too embarrassed to ask my mom bc she wouldnt get it

[violet wren]

i’m sans like everyday

he’s in me

[alpine pilot]

drop the grillby's order RN

[violet wren]

iWAIR

I FORGOT

the only food o remember rn is legendary hero

which isn’t from

[alpine pilot]

i just remember the

large soda

number 9

idk

[violet wren]

valid

i only remember ketchup w sans but i low key don’t remember the food itself

[alpine pilot]

fake sans fan

[violet wren]

nooo

noob

imma be honest though i mogged him in genocide route

[warped turtle]

wtf is the context of this conversation

[alpine pilot]

i did not beat him

so you mog me too

you're basically tobias vulpine

[alpine pilot]

brown university

[warped turtle]

no i meant the "mogged in genocide" comment

[alpine pilot]

yep!

[warped turtle]

ok

[dreamy socket]

mid/late jan

[green holly]

Undertale

I can't bring myself to do a genocide run

[warped turtle]

ah

(i dont play undertale)

[green holly]

Or more than one non true pacifist tbh

I'm a liberal :/

[shadow sluice]

which other colleges have video portfolios?

im tryna see if i can reuse browns for something else too

[green holly]

Bowdoin

[alpine pilot]

washu

[true lynx]

is the video due on the same day as the app?

[dreamy socket]

no

Jan 6

[violet wren]

valid

💯

[neat kernel]

I finally have an idea for the video

[warped turtle]

I just filmed my video

I look/sound dead ☠️

[dreamy lichen]

You can always give it another shot no?

I wouldn’t fret too much about it I’ve seen some people with lame ahh videos

And some people who didn’t care enough to submit videos

[warped turtle]

no i would but i just naturally sound ddead

even if i try coming off as happy 💀

well at least to me i sound dead others might not see it that way

i just dread that i have to listen to myself speaking ON REPEAT while i edit the video

[dreamy lichen]

Have you had others listen to it

[neat kernel]

I think it’s natural not to like the way you talk, and it’s hard to imagine that others could see it in a less critical way

[warped turtle]

No lmao not yet

[dreamy lichen]

That’s probably key

[wise yew]

why does brown have so many essayssss

[warped turtle]

theyre not that bad

[alpine pilot]

yeah theyre kinda fun

[modern mesa]

Aren’t they a bit smaller than the main one?

I forgot. I only glossed over them😞😞Now I’m gonna have to look at them for real.

If I keep saying stuff like this and not clarifying that I’m a ‘30 hopeful then people are gonna think that I’m more of a nutjob than I truly am☹️

[umbral adder]

add it to your user 😭

[modern mesa]

You beautiful genius… /silly

Thank goodness I was able to figure that out by myself! /s

[carmine nymph]

wwhere is the option for video portfolio

[wraith tinsel]

you submit it in your brown portal

[twin schooner]

For anyone that got in, what 3 words did u put for urself?

[violet wren]

wild kpop lover

lol

[warped turtle]

Real

[twin schooner]

That fr worked?

Now I’m thinking mine are too boring

[violet wren]

i don’t think they’re evaluated like that

i think it just sets an overarching tone for who you are as an applicant

and those 3 words showed who i am implicitly (not a kpop lover but energetic and such)

[gray folio]

a lot of my friends did really stupid funny shit

[dreamy lichen]

the three words prompt is after my time but the rule remains; just put yourself on the application

you don’t need to try and be quirky

[dreamy socket]

can u put like 3 adjectives

[dreamy lichen]

Uh

If they are also words

Thus fulfilling the three words requirement

The only requirement they have

[dreamy socket]

lol ik USCs is like 3 separate words but was wondering whether stringing 3 together was the norm

ok fair

[dreamy lichen]

I bet you can put commas in there too

[dreamy socket]

🔥 fiyah

maybe exclamation points if im lucky

[cyan abyss]

i put 3 adjectives

now im contemplating

[wraith tinsel]

adjectives are okay

don’t overthink it

[violet wren]

i put an exclamation point

at the end of the day it’s 3 words

brain fart some words true to who you are whether that’s sleepdeprived or gummybear and lock in on the other essays

[dapper oasis]

i have Escaped the Zoo.

Raahhh.

merry Christmas, my Childs.

[bright scarab]

Disown me

[dapper oasis]

shit i bave to read ur google doc mb

hold on

will get it done within 24 he

hr

[bright scarab]

Loll jk ily

If you're busy ignore it fr

[warped turtle]

I put like resolute, kaleidoscope, and bird-loving

[bright scarab]

i wanted to put

overworked underfucked habibi

but i heard its too lewd

[wise yew]

i just had an epiphany and know exactly what three words to choose

[twin schooner]

Possibly a dumb question but who views the optional video? Is it just your regional admissions officer?

[violet wren]

hmm i’m not sure about the second word

seemingly high risk low reward

[violet wren]

same person who reads your app (ao)

[cyan abyss]

first word is also high risk

there's literally a video of the Brown head AO saying "im tired of these overworked kids that have no joy, i just want to accept happy people onto our campus"

it was so funny ngl

[violet wren]

agreed but it could depend on context. in his context it could come off with humor

[bright scarab]

I alr submitted my app and got deferred brother

Didnt use that

[violet wren]

oh

epic bruh moment

[bright scarab]

Was replying to this but discord died

[cyan abyss]

lmao

[warped turtle]

Real

[violet wren]

rip

praying for u rd

u low key have a solid shot to other t10s though u got it

[bright scarab]

ily

i wanna get into brown so we can make games together

[quasi pond]

Yeah I did a phrase (motto of my fav basketball team) and it worked

My AO said it’s not a deal breaking question for usc

It’s legit just so they can understand you better

[twin schooner]

Does Brown have committee reviews? If so it could be a whole table of AOs watching the vid right?

[violet wren]

grain of salt since im not too familiar with the brown admission offices' inside processes. but from what i know, yes there will be a board that reviews your app. however, they'll mostly be relying on your regional AOs notes + your general app info rather than viewing every component of your app

your AO could possibly leave a note that says "check out video" if you have a truly phenomenal video but otherwise i don't think the video portfolio is one of the things that the committee itself looks at, especially since it's optional

could totally be wrong but this is just my educated guess

[twin schooner]

That makes sense

[warped turtle]

im tweaking im not sure if my essays are good 😭

bc i think theyre good and then someone goes in and cooks them

[twin schooner]

I can read them and be honest if u want

[warped turtle]

alr i just need to finish editing one of them and then ill dm link

[true lynx]

am i cooked if i havent started my essays yet

[warped turtle]

probably

[true lynx]

😞

[twin schooner]

Would it be immature to wear a Spiderman hoodie for my video

[dreamy lichen]

your AO may find your usage of “underfucked” amusing

or they might find it inappropriate and immature

high risk low reward

oh shit berry just said that

[dreamy lichen]

Do you normally wear a Spider-Man hoodie

[twin schooner]

Yes

Idk if they’ll think Im unprofessional or cool

[dreamy lichen]

Then wear it

[dreamy lichen]

No one else knows either

[warped turtle]

i wore a coldplay shirt in my video but my video is also about coldplay so idk 😭

[dreamy lichen]

did you know about moses?

[hot stirrup]

yes

[lunar sable]

for the most significant extracirricular essay im kinda stumpted

i wrote about my #1 EC as my common app essay

so.. its probably not the best to talk about it again in this supp im assuming right?

[cyan abyss]

talk about ur #2 EC

[neat kernel]

Why are there hardly any courses at Brown per semester

[cyan abyss]

brown just chill like that

[dreamy socket]

this one sentence why is wild

[jaunty moat]

hi gang

does anyone know if im allowed to use copywrited music in the video

[cyan abyss]

i dont see why not

[jaunty moat]

wahoo!! yipee!!

thank you cloudjumper

[cyan abyss]

yay you got this

[dreamy lichen]

because classes are (supposed to be) more work

most schools do 3 credit hours per class

brown often has a required recitation or section or something on top of that

[neat kernel]

Ohhh okay, thanks

[dapper oasis]

me when im not allowed to monetize my brown application video on bilibili

https://tenor.com/bzz4j.gif

[cyan abyss]

me when i get copyright striked

[twin schooner]

I just realized their website says to start the video with “Hi, my name is [insert name] from [high school].” I didn’t say the high school I’m from. Do I need to rerecord it?

I’m thinking of adding it as a subtitle because the way I recorded my introduction would be really hard to recreate now

[cyan abyss]

just clip it in front

[twin schooner]

I can’t

Cuz of how I decided to do my introduction

It only comes up if you click the plus here, does that mean it’s more of a suggestion than a requirement?

[cyan abyss]

should not must

[twin schooner]

Ight I binged some brown videos on YouTube and most had their hs but I saw 2 accepted videos that didn’t so it’s probably fine

[dreamy lichen]

if brown rejects you it it is not going to be because you forgot to put your HS in front of your video

shit I forgot the video in its entirety

[violet wren]

lol i low key forgot as well

didn’t know that was a rec

[twin schooner]

Oh fr? If u excluded it and got in I’m def overthinking it

[full river]

realll

just mention your name

[twin schooner]

Yeah that’s in my first line

[full river]

Mine was more of my like
my name is blah blah and I am from yappa
enjoy!

[full river]

that's good then

the high school stuff is more of a suggestion

[twin schooner]

They see ur high school in ur application anyway

Ig a regional ao could see which videos come from the same school

[wraith tinsel]

i did not include my high school 💀 just my name

[neat kernel]

Does Brown care if I use all 50 words for the one sentence prompt?

It’s a crazy run-on sentence but I wanted to capture a lot

[wraith tinsel]

you should be good

mine was like a ~45 word sentence 😭

[meager canopy]

Does brown require official sat scores

[royal inlet]

No idt so

[vague yew]

For the brown extracurricular essay, is it recommended to mention an aspect of brown to connect it to your extracurricular

[onyx linden]

in the video interview could i just talk about something that impacted my family financially during the summer since its not talked about anywhere in my application?

[twin schooner]

U could put that in additional info, otherwise it would be fine to mention it in the video but I wouldn’t recommend centering ur whole video around it

[onyx linden]

ive already sent in my app

all i have left is the video

i needa add in the info about not being able to take SATs due to finances aswell i feel..

[twin schooner]

Then yeah u can mention it as context, but really the vid is about you as far as I can tell

[onyx linden]

you think i should format it with most of the time abt myself and then add in the financial details at the end?

[twin schooner]

That should work

[wraith tinsel]

is it prompt 5 you’re talking about? if so, i did not connect it to an aspect of brown, i only talked about what i learned from it

[vague yew]

Yes yes

Ok ok thank you

[violet wren]

most people don’t do it. you’re not given many words and the focus should be on you and your experience

however, if you can cheekily (and subtly) connect your chosen EC to a description that resonates with brown’s mission/values, that could work nicely

[vague yew]

Ohhhhh

[violet wren]

e.g a little phrase at the end ( in EC, we watched our unique contributions bring people together in unexpected ways.) -> references mission

[vague yew]

Resonate with mission and values

Did not do that I believe damn

Can I send you mine

[violet wren]

yeah

[orchid blaze]

hello

[worthy ether]

I don’t think you need to, the word count is pretty low. I just wrote what I learned from my extracurricular and I got accepted

[vague yew]

Thank you

[onyx linden]

@violet wren what was ur video about?

[violet wren]

myself

i talked about my interests and overlayed some of my music compositions under

[onyx linden]

okay cool!

[hybrid kraken]

can someone check my brown answer to what class i would teach

just that one only

[neat kernel]

Should the EC essay be about our top EC? I already talk about that EC in my why major/Brown essay

[warped turtle]

i mean if its meaningful then ig yeah
but then i wouldnt talk about it as much in the why major essay

[neat kernel]

Maybe I will just talk about my number 2 EC, they are both related to my interest in law

[neat kernel]

Wait can my EC essay be about an EC that is completed, like an internship

[warped turtle]

yeah i wrote about a specific event i hosted through a club im in

[neat kernel]

Thanks

[shadow sluice]

sorry when is the video due

its due after the actual app right

[warped turtle]

Yeah I think Jan 6

[warped turtle]

...

[wise yew]

ykw the brown essays r insane

[meager canopy]

i acc cant get myself to finish..

ive been staring at them like

👁️ 👄 👁️

[wise yew]

i started them and wrote 3 sentences then turned to another school

why iz there so muuuch

[meager canopy]

is there any current brown stdnet that might be available to review my essays?

[full river]

idk which is worse between Brown and Yale tbh 😭

how the heck do they have so many essays 😭😂

[cyan abyss]

yale is way easier but brown is more fun

[warped turtle]

both are 251095810295x better than wtv the fuck cornell 650 is

[vague yew]

For prompt #1, did y’all mention multiple academic interests

Cause i mentioned a lot of the stuff id be pursuing at brown in my other essays so i was only gonna mention one academic interest tbh

[vague yew]

How many supps is Cornell

[warped turtle]

i kinda just started at my interest in astronomy but then connected it to other things i'm interested in, and how brown would support my learning in those other interests

[warped turtle]

for CAS its just 2, but theres one 650-word prompt that im currently dying over

[vague yew]

Jesus…

[royal inlet]

Yh depends on ur school i think coe is 7 total

[vague yew]

No yeah im talking about my astrophysics fascination but I’ve already talked about like all my other interests

And the other interests are rllyyyy hard to connect with astrophysics

But lets see what i can do

Thank you

[warped turtle]

WAIT OMG UR ASTROPHYS/ASTRONOMY TOO???

REALLL

[vague yew]

Kind of yes

I just have a specific thing I wanna study in it

So its very hard to connect with my other interests that are literally in another dimension

Waitttt whats your interests in it :)

[warped turtle]

im really into cosmology

so i kinda yapped about how brown has a cosmology course and a physics+philosophy concentration

[vague yew]

WAIT IT DOES

[warped turtle]

yep

[vague yew]

SHIT I LOVE PHILOSOPHY TOO

[warped turtle]

omg 🔥

[vague yew]

THIS IS FIRE

Id prob wanna study cosmology to get to what i wanna look at

Which is exoplanets

[warped turtle]

ooh nice

i wanna do dark energy or dark matter research too

also yapped about tht in my essay

[vague yew]

SAME

Like crazy there is this matter not interacting with light

😍

[warped turtle]

😱

[vague yew]

😁

[warped turtle]

watch me discover WIMPs fr 🔥

[vague yew]

That’s the thing its tough to connect exoplanets with uh

Film

And politics and civic engagement

And philosophy (although this is probably easier now that you mention the physics + philosophy concentration)

[warped turtle]

politics + astrophys is a VERY interesting combo

[vague yew]

YAAAAAAAA

[warped turtle]

i kinda talked about education in my why brown sentence too, like how i want to do educational outreach to let other ppl learn about astronomy in a simpler way
that wasnt in the first essay tho

[vague yew]

Awww thats lovely

Low key thats rlly real

There was a time i wanted to go to schools and teach people rudimentary physics to try and ease the tension there is with the subject

A lot of people i knew were so hellbent on not doing physics because it was like nightmarish to them

And viewed physics as this crazy thing

And I kinda wanted to like make it easier for them in a way?

[warped turtle]

nah this is real

[vague yew]

Easier to digest

[warped turtle]

yeah fr fr

[vague yew]

Yeah

Ill work on all these ideas when i get to college wherever i go tbh

Bro there is so many things i wanna do

I am way too eager hoaiehfoaihoiahoivhao

But we must finish the supps first -.-

[warped turtle]

indeed 😔

im done with brown but im cooking myself over cornell rn

and then later ill do the brown video

its ok itll be over in a week 😃

[vague yew]

SHIT THE BROWN VIDEO

AAAAAAAAAAA

[vague yew]

True true

[vague yew]

Are you missing anymore essays outside of Cornell

[warped turtle]

my uchicago why us essay but thats due later than everything else so im ignoring it for now 😍

i do need to review my duke and yale why us essays but those are short so shouldnt take that long

[vague yew]

Ok ok thats not too bad

You got that

Just hone in on Cornell :D!!

[warped turtle]

yeah im almost done wtih it 🙏

[vague yew]

Good good

[vague yew]

Just to clarify, under the open curriculum, i can explore multiple concentrations and take their classes, right?

[violet wren]

yes

[vague yew]

Thank you

Btw do you mind if I show you my revised Brown essay

[dreamy lichen]

it wouldn’t help you more than anyone else but why not

[dreamy lichen]

If you two are interested in phil @ brown I could potentially answer some questions

I will probably be doing CS/philosophy

[lunar sable]

Wait when’s the video due 😭

Nv it’s January 6th

[vague yew]

I thought it was due January 9th what 😭

[vague yew]

Thank you

[gray folio]

lmao my roommate just took that

senior level course he begged his way in because course restrictions are just suggestions here

got his ass ate

[vague yew]

Damn

[gray folio]

ended up taking it s/nc and idk if he’s confident he passed

[dreamy lichen]

yeah that’s one thing

especially as a freshman where you haven’t developed your life/study/social/health/everything skills yet, jumping three years ahead in coursework because you lack self love and are overcompensating for how you were treated when you were a child is…not effective

brown is nice about it but if I went to another school I would probably be suspended by now

[warped turtle]

Oh 😃

Rip to him

[violet wren]

ai warrior

hey how are cs majors doing in general at brown

i’ve been seeing threads saying that it’s been awful everywhere (across schools)

[dreamy lichen]

Like job wise?

[dreamy lichen]

Well it’s Brown

That’s not a problem we have

Maybe at other schools though

[violet wren]

ahh okay

in that case brownies on top💯

[dreamy lichen]

What is a brownie

[violet wren]

brown people

[dreamy lichen]

Brown people or brown people

[violet wren]

yeah

[dreamy lichen]

You will need to specify

[violet wren]

it is hilarious though

i wrote down "brownies" in my supps at first

then finally changed it to brunonians after a bit (@alpine pilot )

[dreamy lichen]

those are probably the last times you’ll ever use those words

it’s like saying the words “Sharpe Refectory”

no one does it

[warped turtle]

brown people as in people who attend brown or literal brown people

[gray folio]

yeah because the true abbreviation for sharpe refectory is sheriffs (sha ref)

likewise, josiahs is abbreviated as carb (carberry)

smith buonanno is called bananas

thats next to the north green

[dreamy lichen]

I don’t think I would believe you even if I didn’t go here

“Yeah I’m just going to class in bananas”

[gray folio]

yeah thats a reasonable statement

nothing wrong about going to bananas

[wise yew]

what is this conversation

[meager canopy]

ty again!! i dmd :)

[iron cairn]

WAITTTT

ur interested in politics + physics too omg...

i rlly wanna do math/physics + politics but idk how to connect those tgt LOL

[lunar sable]

i love the open cirriculum

it sounds so fun

[iron cairn]

samesies

[vague yew]

There is a lot of political pressure involving physics

At least specifically what I am doing

Cause like I wanna study particularly astrophysics

And the specific branch I wanna study has a lot of political implications

It depends what you wanna study in physics and math

[warped turtle]

wait which branch? i cant form any connections off the top of my head lmao 😭

[vague yew]

I wanna look at exoplanets

And the possibility of sustaining life on them

The political implications for my thing is like environmental concerns with earth + whichever exoplanet we are on

[iron cairn]

makes sense tbh

[vague yew]

And then also costs for missions, devices, etc.

[iron cairn]

science, tech, energy, etc. always has political pressure lol

[vague yew]

Yes yes

[warped turtle]

ohhh ok so like

advocating for allocation of resources towards space exploration kinda

?

[dreamy lichen]

Advisors will help

plus you get a peer academic advisor as well

Brown orientation and pre-orientation is goated

[dreamy lichen]

Didn’t get it

[iron cairn]

help i meant in my essays but thank you

[dreamy lichen]

Yikes

My bad

They ain’t gotta be connected

You can like two different things

Just think about why you like them so that your essay can reveal stuff about you as a person
