#

iron cairn
#

#

carmine nymph
#

Just finished my brown video portfolio in the nick of time

#

Cus I’m getting my wisdom teeth out tmrw

neat kernel
#

Also, drink pineapple juice!!!

#

It helped so much with the swelling and pain

#

But the day of I just sat there playing Elden Ring 💀

carmine nymph
#

I ain’t got either of those

warped turtle
#

Oh rip good luck

#

I haven’t gotten mine pulled out yet but I can feel them in my mouth so 😃 soon

neat kernel
#

Honestly any fluids help

#

Obviously just not before the procedurecursedmoon

carmine nymph
#

Man I’m just tryna get into a college

#

I’m basically just shotgunning now

neat kernel
#

Same

#

No shame though

#

It’s basically a roulette

dreamy lichen
#

The colleges you’re applying to would probably like it if you actually were a fit for them

#

Shotgunning is only really valid if you’re a prestige whore

gray folio
#

shotgunning kind a valid if you just be urself on all your apps and let the colleges decide if you fit them

#

that's what i did

#

realistically the only way it works out is if fit is involved

neat kernel
hybrid kraken
#

holy fuck im so scared that all my supplements suck ass

dreamy lichen
#

Ideally a lot more than that

gray folio
#

unfortunately a had a way better sense of self after the process

#

which at least made picking stupidly easy

#

does anyone know how much legacy helps?

#

is the video supplement due by january 6th 11:59?

warped turtle
#

i think so

true lynx
#

for the open curriculum essay, is it a good idea to talk abt art + psychology/premed interests? well im also mentioning how my hs doesnt have any art classes and how i want to pursue my hobbies further at brown

im considering submitting an art portfolio but idk if my art is good enough LMAO

cyan abyss
violet wren
#

no, there will be two different teams reviewing your brown and plme applications

#

your AO can recommend you for plme if they see a great fit, however. it is ultimately up to you

#

you can avoid repetition by discussing the ec from a different perspective, or you can just focus on developing yourself as an applicant

hybrid kraken
true lynx
#

hii would anyone be open to looking over my "why brown" essay 🥹 im lowkey tweaking

dreamy lichen
#

send it over

lilac edge
#

do you think it would be worth doing smth risky in the letter of continued interest?

#

cause ik that if i send them a conventional one nothing is rlly gonna change

#

they already know that i like the school

lilac edge
#

i dont know how to yet but im thinking of doing more of a narrative rather than simply writing dear admissions officer thank you for reviewing my materials, here is another reason why i love brown, oh btw my ib score went up one point and yeah uhh pls accept me me bye

cyan abyss
#

standing out is better than not standing out

#

just dont write a whole other essay they usually dont appreciate that too much

lilac edge
#

ill talk to my counsellor as well but yeah

dreamy lichen
#

This guy’s actual LOCI

lilac edge
dreamy lichen
#

yeah he’s a senior going to citadel next year

#

That song was my #1 on wrapped for 2022

royal inlet
#

funny thing is ive daydreamed ab doin smth like that

#

the song goes hard tho

dreamy lichen
#

It does

#

Played it every day until Pi Day

royal inlet
#

too bad its been done already it would prolly be too unoriginal if i did smth like that (and also would be too much effort js to get denied)

warped turtle
#

when did brown turn into MIT

#

😭

neat kernel
#

iMovie is about to cook with this video today

warped turtle
#

I still need to do that ☠️

vague yew
#

Bro i lowkey worried for the video

iron cairn
#

i have not started

#

or started scripting

vague yew
#

Do most people in Brown know what TAPS is? Cause i dont know if i should spell out the acronym or use it

#

Idk what to do but i came up with a joke format that would be insulting asf prob

#

No real format tho

#

Or what i will talk about

neat kernel
#

Also if I apply tomorrow do I just need to send the video in as soon as I get my portal?

#

Wait the deadline for the video is later, right?

vague yew
#

I thought the deadline was Jan 6

#

Lemme check

#

Yeah Jan 6 is teh deadline

iron cairn
#

i thought the video was 1 week after u submit?

#

nvm ur right january 6

warped turtle
#

i recorded my parts of the video but as i said somewhere in the rejects channel i cant bring myself to edit it because i dont want to hear my voice 😃

warped turtle
#

im just yapping about my love for coldplay the entire video 💀

#

and making connections to some other things in the video but nothing too severe

#

my original idea was to have a lot of EC connections in my video but that felt too forced

#

OMG PLANTS 🔥

#

i was gonna do a wall tour but that was too chaotic

iron cairn
#

i considered doing a vogue 71 questions

#

obviously on a smaller scale since u only have 2 mins lol

#

or mtv cribs tour

warped turtle
iron cairn
#

but i decided on something more manageable lol

warped turtle
#

2 minutes is both the perfect and worst amount i swear

iron cairn
#

didnt wanna clean my whole house just for the video 😔

warped turtle
#

like it means i dont have to spend so long on the video
but at the same time i cant fit in everything i want 💀

iron cairn
#

honestly i feel like if u have any sort of "collection"

#

that would be fun to go thru

wise yew
#

sry brown i ran out of time

true lynx
#

i didnt even film my video yet im so cooked

#

😖

#

its due on the 6th right?

warped turtle
#

yes

I wouldn’t know though I go to Purdue

Oh

Try

neat kernel
#

Bro the ending of my Brown video is kinda cheesy noooo

neat kernel
#

Is it okay if my video came out to 1 minute 57 seconds?

twin schooner
#

For ppl that got in, did you focus on community service a lot in your application? Other than 1 activity, 1 award and a supplementary recommendation I have nothing on community service

dreamy lichen
#

Our apps don’t matter

#

We’re not you

#

You’re you
And you’re seven days out from submission so what are you gonna do at this point

twin schooner
#

Also

dreamy lichen
#

Your essays should focus on what you actually did and care about

twin schooner
dreamy lichen
#

Was volunteering more significant to you

twin schooner
#

I’m indifferent

#

But if most of the admitted profiles here highlighted community service than I should

dreamy lichen
#

That’s not how that works

#

Brown didn’t ask you to produce the application of the statistically average admitted student

#

You’re supposed to create an application that is accurate and speaks to who you are as a whole

#

And just from a plain math standpoint, there are not enough Brown students on this server to generate a statistically significant understanding of what you “should” put in your application

twin schooner
#

I’d still like to know

#

May as well

dreamy lichen
#

You can say similar things in different ways

#

Disney writing for you

#

You know the world would be fixed if we had Musk and the Disney CEO switch places

#

Musk fires everyone who has worked on the last two years of Disney projects bc what were they thinking

cyan abyss
dreamy lichen
#

That’s what I’m saying

lunar wing
#

question

cyan abyss
#

hi

lunar wing
#

how long do u have for hthe video portfolio

cyan abyss
#

jan 6

lunar wing
#

after submitting

cyan abyss
#

2 minutes

lunar wing
#

its due jn 6???!?!?!?!?

#

shit

cyan abyss
#

do you mean how long to submit or how long to make the video

#

yeah jan 6

lunar wing
#

i thought it would be ok if u submit it like a week after dedadline lol

#

where does it say jan 6, portal?

#

ok im cooked

cyan abyss
#

"If you plan to submit a video introduction, please do so within one week of receiving your application acknowledgement email from Brown University that contains your Applicant Portal login credentials."

#

or in a week of receiving the portal

lunar wing
#

i was hoping i could do it from like jan6-jan 10

cyan abyss
#

"For consideration in the Brown admission process, videos must be uploaded by November 4 for QuestBridge and Early Decision applicants and January 6 for Regular Decision applicants."

#

they kinda contradict

#

it says Jan 6 for RD

#

but it also says within 1 week of receiving portal

#

so i assume if you receive your portal after jan 6, then it's fine

#

but if you receive your portal before then you should submit by jan 6

#

realistically they will not burn your application for submitting on the 7th

#

but id rather be safe than sorry yk

lunar wing
#

ok so i might jus email them and see

#

i dont think they wouldnt let me submit

#

even if by jan 10

#

emailing doesnt hurt right

cyan abyss
#

yeah

#

im filming my whole thing tomorrow lmao

lunar wing
#

probably gonna send an email on the 2nd and see what happens if really due the sixth i can do the day of and pray

lunar wing
#

aight im falling asleep bt i need to doo so many essays

#

cooked

cyan abyss
#

i mean it's maybe a 3 day project

lunar wing
#

havent exactly started the brown supps tho ngl

cyan abyss
#

oh

#

godspeed

lunar wing
#

nah i got time im not worried about that

#

im worried about the other 7 i have to do tmrw and the day after

#

brown due day after day ater so it chill

dreamy lichen
#

I submitted my brown app on January 16th

#

I think you’ll be fine

cyan abyss
#

sigh i need to redo brown

full river
# cyan abyss but if you receive your portal before then you should submit by jan 6

i am not sure because I submitted early enough but I think after the deadline, the space for submitting the Brown video closes.
it's like a link within your portal so I think it closes after the deadline.
I would strongly advise anyone to finish their videos before submitting their applications. So immediately, you submit your application and receive your portal, you can just submit the video.
It's better to be on the safer side and not try to figure out what happens after the deadline instead of being unable to submit something you worked so hard to edit/shoot because you were a day late.

Wow

neat kernel
#

Officially a Brown applicant 🥳

warped turtle
#

Twin

dreamy lichen
#

No

#

Still take my advice though

neat kernel
#

Will we get the Brown portal in time to submit the video?

royal inlet
#

is the brown vid acc optional

cyan abyss
royal inlet
#

well idk if i did it i would want to make the best vid possible and wouldnt rly wanna rush it... idk i also feel like i dont rly come off as a super enthusiastic/personable person

gray folio
dreamy lichen
#

I didn’t do it

#

I didn’t know there was a vid until like day of

twin schooner
#

Does Brown take a while to send applicant portal details like NYU does

full river
neat kernel
#

Brown video in 🥳

lunar wing
#

#

i didnt do it yet ngl

#

lol

carmine nymph
#

how many days did it take to get the brown portal

carmine nymph
#

i had to speedrun my video b4 i got my wisdom teeth taken out

warped turtle
#

Bruh I still neeed to edit mine 🥲

lunar wing
#

make some type shi

#

idk how to edit

lunar wing
#

is it just me or brown has the most supplemental essays

#

considering plme too

thick comet
warped turtle
#

I just got it after submitting yesterday around the same time

#

Also i finally started editing my video why is the vision i had in my head shit in real life 🔥

dreamy socket
#

im banking on grinding through all of it on the 4th 5th 6th

warped turtle
#

time to make my 3rd iteration of the script and have like NO fancy editing in the video

true lynx
#

hii is anyone open to reading over my brown essays? preferably someone who got in

dreamy lichen
#

I would like to reiterate that getting into Brown especially if you have not actually spent any time at the school has no bearing on your ability to write or proofread Brown supplementals well

#

And no one knows why they got into this school
That being said, I am willing to read your essays

flint falcon
dreamy lichen
#

No

dreamy lichen
#

Applies to a lot of guys, they aren’t necessarily creative

vague yew
#

Dude i still dont know what to talk about for my video

warped turtle
#

Man i ended up talking about a fucking shirt 😭

gray folio
#

i thought shirts couldn't do that

warped turtle
#

#

U got the whole squad laughing

vague yew
#

Lol

#

I just don’t know how to go about it at all

#

I came up with a joke format but it’s lowkey insulting

#

But still nothing to talk about

warped turtle
#

See once i deviated away from my yapping about Coldplay idea i went really simple
I deviated away from that bc like i dont have time/energy to do fancy editing so if i want to talk about something its gotta. be one thing that i dont need to include examples or photos of or anything
So then i just landed on the shirt (long backstory about the shirt) and now made a whole story out of it

vague yew
#

I’m just brainstorming rn

#

I guess I got some ideas but like idrk dude

#

If I do it on glimpse, can it only be max 90 secs?

royal inlet
dreamy lichen
#

I don’t think that’s what Stephen said

iron cairn
#

theres plenty of videos you'll see online that have editing

umbral adder
#

Mmmm

#

These accepted videos are gonna kill me

#

I'm so lame 😭

#

Maybe it's the fact that everyone has a ton of clips in their videos

#

Aaaaaa I don't take videos and photos

deep smelt
#

How optional is the video

cyan abyss
#

its optional

#

optional means optional

#

also it doesnt need to be super fancy

#

and you have time

deep smelt
#

So itwill not be disadvantageous?

#

if i dont

#

because i have school IB Mocks next week

#

😭

#

even if i can get the time,

#

i have no idea what to even say

cyan abyss
#

no it will not be disadvantageous

#

plenty have gotten in without videos

flint falcon
#

is there any brown student/alumnus here who has done an independent study project at brown?

warped turtle
bold dirge
#

speed running all the supps tomorrow wish me luck smile

#

#

why does brown have a class that looks at corn

royal inlet
#

That’s the kinda videography i want but that’ll take me weeks 😭

gray folio
#

its unimportant enough for them not to require it but important enough to allow people that option

#

i didnt do a video if u wanna hear a success story so bad

random inlet
#

pretty much everyone ik did it

#

it literally cant hurt

meager canopy
#

#

ALSO ANOTHER BIG QUESTION

and if u get into plme u can choose to not do it and attend brown normally instead right?
someone lmk im mad confused ping me iif u got answers to my yap fest of questions lmfao tysm

dreamy socket
#

the expectation is that you sit in front of a camera and talk uncut for 2 minutes

lunar wing
#

imma make a bit of edits

#

maybe ill record with a friend on the sixth and cram

#

its due 11 59 local time right on the 6th

#

or is it est

#

thats the best one ive ever seen ever

#

i found it randomly

dreamy socket
#

yeah ive seen

#

that's sick

lunar wing
#

is it better to submit no video or a 2 minute uncut talkin ghead

dreamy lichen
#

Is the video a terrorist message to the people of the West

lunar wing
#

lmao no

dreamy lichen
#

It could improve your application then

lilac edge
#

teal tapir
rain island
# dreamy lichen Why

it’s for the create ur own class essay and my course is kinda connected to sports at brown with case studies

dreamy lichen
#

So you’re name dropping a student why

gray folio

#

i'd put a restraining order on you ngl

#

remember the only videos on youtube are the ones that are insanely cracked, not an accurate representation of everyones video

cyan abyss
#

viral ≠ AO judgment

merry pebble
#

At a camera

#

idk how to include fancy shots

jaunty moat
#

so is the brown vid due by the 6th or within 1 week of recieving the email

#

im a bit confused

lunar wing
#

like terrible

#

my essays and everything else is so so so so so much beter tho like way better than the video ill be having mine gonna be a 2 minute of me talking with maybe diving into the pool or chasing my dog clip

winter fossil
#

Just submitted Brown!!!
Though at 12:47AM on January 4th 😭

eager trench
#

what do they want for online presence

lunar sable
#

but u could submit a website

#

or a portfolio

#

def not a requirement tho

eager trench
#

i was considering submitting my tiktok but it goes over very controversial political stuff so idk if thats safe or not

lunar sable
#

hmmm

#

yea might not be the best to submit that

#

politics is a slippery slope

winter fossil
lunar sable
#

what supp are u guys on

#

im on the second one

winter fossil
#

Do you do them in order?
I did the short answers first but then I add to leave the why brown cuz I needed to see what I wanted to write in Open curriculum essay and what course would you teach essay

lunar sable
#

makes it easier to tackle

wary lagoon
#

where your words just like adjectives or did yall go crazy

#

idk what i should do atp

lunar sable
#

one crazy, two adjectives

flint falcon
#

did you have a faculty advisor?

dreamy lichen
#

Oh fuck

#

Yeah I haven’t done one yet I’m a second-year

flint falcon
#

oh 😭

dreamy lichen
#

I was gonna tell you to LinkedIn the class of ‘25 cause hella people do them

#

Like the entire CLPS department essentially

#

But yeah you almost certainly get a faculty advisor

flint falcon
#

would it make sense to write about it in the open curriculum supplemental

#

cause i did and im not sure ot made sense

#

cause other schools have ISPs

dreamy lichen
#

I think it would yeah but you would have to understand it a lot more than either of us do rn

lunar wing
#

question
if you were to get into plme for example are you allowed to changeyour mind in the first year for example about following thorugh with the med school pathway?

#

like if i wanted to change my mind and go law and decide no med school i could attend brown normally

#

if i got intp plme im just wondering hypothetically ofc

lunar wing
lunar wing
#

oh bet

#

ok ill do the plme supps then

#

i have like 5 hours

#

i wasnt really planing on doing them before ngl

dreamy lichen
#

I don’t know that directly but I do know that at the very least you can willingly forfeit your offer to Warren Alpert by applying to another med school

lunar wing
#

only main brown supp i have left is the joy one, why brown sentence, and the plme supplemetnals

lunar wing
#

what if i was to choose to not go to alpert

#

like if i wanted to not have to do med classes

#

and instead choose to go into law or econ

#

idk exactly what i want to do but im pplying under what i think i want to do rn

dreamy lichen
#

Yeah totally fine

lunar wing
#

and that aliogns with med, eligbile for plme

dreamy lichen
#

All PLMEs are cracked but the really cracked PLMEs actually end up at Harvard or Penn Med

lunar wing
#

o

lunar wing
dreamy lichen
#

Yes

lunar wing
#

idk if i want to go to med school rn but i might as well apply f it doesnt change whether or not i get into brown, and if plme is just an option i can consider taking after i get into brown if was to get in

#

aight bet

#

sorry for yapping

#

would you be ok reading my supplementals for them? ill probably be done with everything by like 6 pst and im planning on submitting stuff at like 9 ish maybe

dreamy lichen
#

You can drop out of the MD segment if you like but you have to let them know like sept 15 of senior year apparently

dreamy lichen
#

Ok

lunar wing
#

aight bet ill send them to u around that time

#

Guysss, do I have to mention what I wrote for what I did for fun in the brown video?
Can it be completely unrelated

violet wren
#

i plugged in my entire research paper

#

they understand that we’re teenagers, and will take that into account when reviewing the papers

#

your research paper will most always support your app because it shows you working towards something you’re passionate about

dreamy lichen
#

No

carmine nymph
#

do i have to wait for the video to process for it to work

violet wren
#

as long as it’s formatted well

carmine nymph
#

cuz i uplaoded the file to the brown portal but when i hit preview it said processing

#

but i hit upload and now it just says video intro received

dreamy lichen
#

If you didn’t literally invent a new computing paradigm in your high school research paper, not only will you be rejected, Brown AOs will come to your personal place of residence and berate you in front of your family for hours

#

And then force you to go to C❌rnell

#

It’s over for you

carmine nymph
#

it's mp4

violet wren
#

idk

violet wren
# violet wren idk

i think that it will most likely help in most apps, especially since research is a pretty big part of your app! however some schools are picky

#

so yeah

warped turtle
#

i am currently doing that RIGHT now 😭
though its more cybersecurity leaning

#

gotta love submitting comp sci research as a prospective aerospace major

#

im so done with this

#

caltch already flamed me when i submitted my comp sci teacher rec (not my fault i lit had no one else so i kinda accepted it)

violet wren
#

i wasn’t specifically referencing those, just the schools with specific policies/recommendations for research - i’d recommend doing a reddit dive

warped turtle
#

i also did 💀

#

i was like "erm yeah i actually wanted to do astronomy or aerospace research but the bumfucks didnt give me a research project in either category, so i just got comp sci"

#

i did not do that and i do not care anymore

vague yew
jolly imp
#

is it an Intel UHD or IRIS XE GPU?

#

cuz in that case, you're screwed

#

the 3.9 GB is the VRAM

#

well, not really screwed, just it'll take a bit longer for you to work with the video

winter fossil
jolly imp
#

yeahh

#

I mean, its not bad

#

its decent, will get the work done

winter fossil
#

Alright

jolly imp
#

just don't use a lot of effects and stuff!

#

@winter fossil and remember to save and turn on autosave. You can NOT not turn auto save, you WILL regret not saving your project when you lose the 30 hours of work because video editing apps crash A LOT on these GPUs

vague yew
#

The fact you went from 34 supps to 7 supps in this short amount of time is actually commendable dude lol

#

Is it fine if my vid is 1:30 minutes

#

anyone here admitted without one?

frail tide
#

chat, whats the video deadline?

#

for my own local hours, or for Brown's timezone?

#

also will it not be considered if i submit on 7th?

#

i mean im ahead of brown

#

so brown's tz would actually give me more time

vague yew
#

I swear im overthinking the video

#

Also i love not being simple, i like filming stuff
So i lowkey wanna make it kinda film-esque but aaaaaa

#

is it ok if i submit a research poster?

meager marlin
#

That’s reasonable

This is the video portfolio included in Brown University's undergraduate application. I was a regular decision applicant, and I applied to The College, which is one of the many colleges that make up Brown University. Also, I applied as a non-athlete and was not recruited to play golf.

oh damn

Is this a strict deadline

Omg..

true lynx
#

im working on my video rn but i wanted to run my idea by someone..just to make sure its not like . idk

#

is anyone open to providing feedback

green holly
#

I'll just text them saying I can't like atp

#

Do I needa be talking the whole time or can I like do shit

#

Like dance or smth 😭

#

Or like show my dogs

vague yew
#

I lowkey feel like my video is close to what’s spoken about in my personal statement and I’m rlly worried

#

But like this was genuinely the only thing I’d feel okay talking about and that makes sense??

#

And I literally recorded footage for it today

green holly
#

That's my thing like what am I gonna talk about without it being something they can just find in my essays

#

Could I just show my personality and like do smth fun like idk

pure heath
#

Has anyone else not gotten the portal yet 😭

#

I submitted on Jan 3 and it says downloaded by college on Common App

lunar wing
#

does anyone know if i can get the video in later than the 6th?

#

ping me if yk

spare osprey
#

guys i cannot get the capcut symbol out of the video

#

am i cooked

#

or will they ignore that

pure heath
#

They prolly won’t care lol

#

They prolly know most 17 year olds would use CapCut etc

#

Besides they ain’t gonna reject you cuz you didn’t pay money to remove a watermark

spare osprey
#

thats true lol

#

im so annoyed tho cuz the first time i exported it there was no watermark

#

and then i edited like 2 things

#

and the next export had a watermark

#

grrrrrrrrrrr

#

im just gonna use the version with no watermark...

violet wren
#

that’s strange

#

i used capcut to edit and there was no watermark, only one at the end which was removable

spare osprey
#

oh i know what you mean

#

like the one that appears at the end of tiktoks sometimes

#

mine was like throughout the whole video and kept switching corners

#

it was so weird

umbral willow
#

how do i

#

make the brown video

drowsy crypt
#

they do not expect fancy editing

#

just a clear exhibition of who you are as a person

umbral willow
#

do you think

#

me filming "first day at school after an all nighter" as the overarching video

#

while i talk about different aspects of me

drowsy crypt
#

(genuine question) how does the all nighter thing contribute to the meaning?

umbral willow
#

(it doesn't i just feel like it'll give me something to talk about)

#

and i need to pull one to finish my MIT app anyways

vague yew
#

Is the brown video essentially also looking for “why brown?”. I’ve had friends from last year advise me to also treat it like a “why brown?” Thing but idk

iron cairn
#

so more like why brown + you

gray folio
#

ignore the why brown part completely IMO

#

it's just for you to show yourself off as a person completely freely without the prompts limiting you

#

it's just a character check and they're using that character check to see if you fit well at the school

#

given that why brown is a literal sentence long 50 word prompt whereas other schools give you a full 250 to 500 usually, take that as a sign of not beating a dead horse

vague yew
#

That’s why I was confused

#

There is already a why brown question

#

Why tf would I answer it again in my video

#

I put references just in case

#

🤷‍♀️

flint falcon
#

does the portal just stop accepting submissions after the deadline 😭

#

or is there a grace period 😭

gray folio
#

no clue but given that its optional for a reason, don't worry if you can't get it on time

#

try your best to submit one and if you're just past the submisison deadline just send it in tbh

cyan abyss
#

also it doesnt need to be hyperedited just submit what you have

gray folio
#

if you over edit it i'm gonna think you're a weirdo ngl

torpid eagle
#

i was gonna edit a lot for transitions....

torpid eagle
#

would mentioning that i edited it in moviepy score me points

#

what 💀

#

you gotta mention it atp

ocean bobcat
#

for plme is the video portfolio due the 9th or the 6th

#

cuz the regular website says 6th and then the plme website says 9th and neither cross ref each other

drowsy crypt
rotund tinsel
#

cuz it redirects to brown admissions website

#

if u go to plme website
