i see i see thank u
is any admitted student willing to read and give feedback on my personal statement?
Just finished my brown video portfolio in the nick of time
Cus I’m getting my wisdom teeth out tmrw
Bro have fun 
Also, drink pineapple juice!!!
It helped so much with the swelling and pain
But the day of I just sat there playing Elden Ring 💀
I ain’t got either of those
Oh rip good luck
I haven’t gotten mine pulled out yet but I can feel them in my mouth so 😃 soon
Ah, lots of water then
Honestly any fluids help
Obviously just not before the procedure
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
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
Idk I like all the schools I’m applying to for different reasons
holy fuck im so scared that all my supplements suck ass
want help
You’re supposed to read about universities before you apply there
Ideally a lot more than that
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?
it helps
is the video supplement due by january 6th 11:59?
i think so
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
submit it, they might not even look
go for it
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
yes please i will dm
hii would anyone be open to looking over my "why brown" essay 🥹 im lowkey tweaking
send it over
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
define risky
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
sure
standing out is better than not standing out
just dont write a whole other essay they usually dont appreciate that too much
ill talk to my counsellor as well but yeah
You wanna hear risky
This guy’s actual LOCI
no way did it work
i would wanna room with that guy
yeah he’s a senior going to citadel next year
That song was my #1 on wrapped for 2022
OMG LMFAO
funny thing is ive daydreamed ab doin smth like that
the song goes hard tho
😭 this song alone wants me to go to mit
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)
iMovie is about to cook with this video today
I still need to do that ☠️
Bro i lowkey worried for the video
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
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?
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 😃
help ur so real
its ok me too
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
i considered doing a vogue 71 questions
obviously on a smaller scale since u only have 2 mins lol
or mtv cribs tour
ooh thats interesting
but i decided on something more manageable lol
2 minutes is both the perfect and worst amount i swear
didnt wanna clean my whole house just for the video 😔
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 💀
sry brown i ran out of time
yes
They should
Thank you!!
I haven’t either tbh
I wouldn’t know though I go to Purdue
Bro the ending of my Brown video is kinda cheesy 
Is it okay if my video came out to 1 minute 57 seconds?
Yeah
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
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
Make my essays focus on it more
Also
Your essays should focus on what you actually did and care about
I have more than 10 ecs and I can choose to include a volunteering one over one that I have right now
Was volunteering more significant to you
I’m indifferent
But if most of the admitted profiles here highlighted community service than I should
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
You can say similar things in different ways
Somehow palpatine returned 😨
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
this is actually good what the heck
That’s what I’m saying
question
hi
how long do u have for hthe video portfolio
jan 6
after submitting
2 minutes
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
"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
i was hoping i could do it from like jan6-jan 10
"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
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
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
goat
aight im falling asleep bt i need to doo so many essays
cooked
it shouldnt take you forever
i mean it's maybe a 3 day project
havent exactly started the brown supps tho ngl
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
sigh i need to redo brown
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.
Officially a Brown applicant 🥳
Twin
Will we get the Brown portal in time to submit the video?
is the brown vid acc optional
yeah but why wouldnt you do it
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
i didnt do it
Does Brown take a while to send applicant portal details like NYU does
i received mine within 24 hours of application
Brown video in 🥳
for the brown video do you think i could ask for a later deadline thatn jan 6 i got hella apps
i didnt do it yet ngl
lol
how many days did it take to get the brown portal
u should prioritize it
i had to speedrun my video b4 i got my wisdom teeth taken out
Bruh I still neeed to edit mine 🥲
imma submit it day of trust
make some type shi
idk how to edit
Less than one for me
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 🔥
im banking on grinding through all of it on the 4th 5th 6th
its over 2 minutes im done for 😍
time to make my 3rd iteration of the script and have like NO fancy editing in the video
hii is anyone open to reading over my brown essays? preferably someone who got in
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
did you get an extension that year or
No
is this about that one guy
Applies to a lot of guys, they aren’t necessarily creative
Dude i still dont know what to talk about for my video
Man i ended up talking about a fucking shirt 😭
i thought shirts couldn't do that
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
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
Interesting :O
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?
Do they not like editing at all? Like what if i wanna
I don’t think that’s what Stephen said
i think theyre choosing not to use editing but if u want to its fine
theres plenty of videos you'll see online that have editing
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
How optional is the video
its optional
optional means optional
also it doesnt need to be super fancy
and you have time
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
is there any brown student/alumnus here who has done an independent study project at brown?
Then go for it
I wanted to edit too but I don’t have time so I just have to resort to a sad video 🥲
me too 💀
If you’ve done all the other ivy’s lotta reusable ideas
i mean i am already submitting my research abstract
so i will not be hurted by it right?
im just worried 😭
finished my brown video and its amazing
I have heard the opposite, not sure though I heard like a decent population of accepted students have done a vide
Im not sure, do we need to submit the video with the app, or do I have a grace period, because I think I have a fire idea for the video, but yeah, I'll be starting now :((
oh frick just scrolled up yeah, im not completing that before Jan 6th
I need to do stanford and penn
i haven't even started my video
i think there's a 7 day extension
Oh damn thank heavens
that's too early
ikr
I really dont know how I can create it in ONE day, because I need to work on stanford and penn by 5th
i made a similar vid in 11th grade maybe i'll just submit that
Please who knows any good video editing software I can get free for Windows Computer
i mean you can use windows built in editor
clipchamp or smhing
aiit. I just saw it
Thanks!!
Davinci resolve is free and fire, so would reccomend
Hollywood studios use that.
i think that’s a soft deadline
please dont give me hope!
it says one week after u submit somewhere on the website
so i assume the hearder deadline is closer to the 10th
can you send that if possible?
yea lemme find it
tyvm
i think i read it somewhere
Niceeee. I would use that. I hope it works on an i3 10th gen tho
do you have a GPU? That matters more in video editing software. The CPU is fast enough
Damn. I'll check the GPU now
this is so scuffed, but I think the 6 jan is the hard deadline
why the hell would they make 3rd a RD and then not make 10th the video deadline?
pirate after effects/premiere pro
just sent in my brown apps 😭
i am dying, crying and frying 😭
i wrote the damned community essay 30 minutes before the deadline 😭
How is it deadline for u already
im in gmt+8
I'm in GMT+1 and I haven't submitted 💀
you have like 6 more hours then 😭
time to start these supps 🔥
its 6th
the best essays are written in minutes💯🗣️
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz3qEM4S0Mg
im actually foaming from this vid
Hi I'm Andrew I like shuffling cards! I post card stuff on Instagram: @andrewhsiehh
That’s the kinda videography i want but that’ll take me weeks 😭
optional means optional
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
just do it
pretty much everyone ik did it
it literally cant hurt
its due the 6th right
Yes
Yo wtf where
Bro, you going Duke too 😭
We in this 🫂
Bruh our lists the same fr 😭
Dm 🙂
Can anyone check my brown video
can anyone check my comm
and the brown video i havent started am i cooked
i wanted to submit it on the 6th after doing it a bit tomorrow the day after and a lot on the 6th
but my editing is terrible i cant make it good like every else its just gonna be a ton of cut up shots maybe na di lowkey got no friends tohelp me with ts lmao shits wraps
alll these portfolios online are god tier
im cooked
ALSO ANOTHER BIG QUESTION
is anyong applying to plme?
if you get rejected from plme do they consider you for normal brown admission in the same process as everyone else?
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
exceptions not the norm
the expectation is that you sit in front of a camera and talk uncut for 2 minutes
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
Hi I'm Andrew I like shuffling cards! I post card stuff on Instagram: @andrewhsiehh
thats the best one ive ever seen ever
i found it randomly
is it better to submit no video or a 2 minute uncut talkin ghead
Yeah
Depends on the content of the video
Is the video a terrorist message to the people of the West
lmao no
It could improve your application then
great, sending a terrorist message to the people of tajikistan
do yall think it’s ok to name drop a brown athlete for one of my essays
How’d you submit that?
Why
it’s for the create ur own class essay and my course is kinda connected to sports at brown with case studies
So you’re name dropping a student why
if i got name dropped in someone's essay i'd actually be creeped the fuck out
i'd put a restraining order on you ngl
Imma name drop u lil bro
your initials are boys love little bro
i'm not scared of u
Ok vanilla bean 😭🙏
it's good but remember that this guy's main EC is also editing videos so he has a huge leg up, doesnt need to be this polished
holy my video is literal garbage compared to some of these I’ve seen on YouTube
remember the only videos on youtube are the ones that are insanely cracked, not an accurate representation of everyones video
exactly, you only go viral if you're cracked
viral ≠ AO judgment
mines just me talking
At a camera
idk how to include fancy shots
so is the brown vid due by the 6th or within 1 week of recieving the email
im a bit confused
mine is literally going to be garbage
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
both i guess
Just submitted Brown!!!
Though at 12:47AM on January 4th 😭
what do they want for online presence
I'm submitting my youtube channel
but u could submit a website
or a portfolio
def not a requirement tho
i was considering submitting my tiktok but it goes over very controversial political stuff so idk if thats safe or not
Frrr
Luigi Mangione 😭
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
i do in order
makes it easier to tackle
one crazy, two adjectives
oh 😭
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
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
I think it would yeah but you would have to understand it a lot more than either of us do rn
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
also would you be ok reviewing some brown supplementals i was wondering that too lol
Yeah of course
oh bet
ok ill do the plme supps then
i have like 5 hours
i wasnt really planing on doing them before ngl
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
only main brown supp i have left is the joy one, why brown sentence, and the plme supplemetnals
oh
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
Yeah totally fine
and that aliogns with med, eligbile for plme
All PLMEs are cracked but the really cracked PLMEs actually end up at Harvard or Penn Med
so i can choose to withdraw from the med school and the class requirement eto explore something i enjoy more?
o
even if that means i dont want med and i want to go into consulting or ib/corp law for example
Yes
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
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
So done in an hour and submitted in four
Ok
ye
aight bet ill send them to u around that time
oh if i change my interests its gonna be before i declare a major lol beause im not intereted in gtaking hella grindy science courses anymore
so freshman-sophomore year im gonna grind a path i try to find and then see what i enjoy most and stick with that maybs its business law med who knows lol
rn it relates to med
guys what if your link goes off the page
for the personal website
should you use a bitly or smth
Will last day applicants get the portal in time to submit a video?
video due tthe 6th or one week afeter wreceiving portal
hi is anyone open to reading my brown supps 😭 🙏
wtf yall doing for the 3 words
I have no idea what those words are
i put sigma boy
(I’m not actually brown)
ironically would work
Bruh I’m just eating pears instead of doing my application 😭
im done w everything except the 3 big essasys
im a sigma boy
i cooked w mine
thats like 90 percent of the essays dawg
i mean the open curricium is pretty much just why major combined w why us
true
but still
theres 2 more
imma try to do the plme essays rn lets see if i can get both done with na hour lmao
need to get stuff reviewed to submit too
is anyone willing to give me feedback on the brown essay that reads "tell us about something that brings you joy."
soon-to-be brown student
losing my mind if i get rejected
its a sentence bro
yes
yes
i used a song and reworded the lyrics in mine
💀
so?
i just did "I'd come for xyz and stay for abc."
idk if thats stupid or not
i tried being silly in the last few questions
me trying to be silly = disaster
actually i made somewhat of a banger answer
ok i should submit
anyone tryna look at my plme prompts they are cooked
its ok only do it if it feels natural
for the extracurricular essay should u say ur first ec or something u havent touched on
yeah thats what is sorta did
want to do it but i think id get cooked
cause i didnt want to talk about like my random job
my first is research but i talked more about personal connections I made
i didnt personally
mine was like #4
i cooked so hard on the what brings you joy
mine was track which was my first ec

Nah I cooked harder
can I read urs
thats gonna be me in 59 minutes oml
lol same 💀
I was going through brown's course catalogue yesterday for my essays and all the classes looked so cool and interesting. ahhhhh. wish I EDed here
omg my supplementals are so ass 
lets just hope the AOs can understand our essays lol
yes, yea u get into brown first then they consider for brown
same lmao
i wrote the last one in like 30 mins 💀 like just before the deadline im tweaking
Guys should brown video be funny or serious
my video is lowkey cooking
brown lowkey has some of the best courses
ATB! Please leave some unis for the rest of us too, i know you're already going to be getting in all of the ivies
no way but thank you 🙏 you got this too you're getting in everywhere
I hope 😭 I'll be so happy if I get into any ivy.
esp penn or yale
for plme u only have to do one of the rpompts for the second question right
im just talking abt myself
i added like some funny things tho
yea
do yall think they watch the vid first or read the supps
im grinding my vid
if we use music in our vid do we put credits in description
you upload the video directly to your Brown portal
You don't submit a YouTube link or something
so I don't think you will have the option of putting description or something
i am not so sure though...
Is the 6th Jan deadline for EST or PST....?
is the deadline for the video 6th or within a week of receiving portal creds?
Whichever comes first
Guysss, do I have to mention what I wrote for what I did for fun in the brown video?
Can it be completely unrelated
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
No
do i have to wait for the video to process for it to work
as long as it’s formatted well
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
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
it's mp4
idk
thankfully im into that stuff
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
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)
i wasn’t specifically referencing those, just the schools with specific policies/recommendations for research - i’d recommend doing a reddit dive
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
GPU is 3.9GB
IM WATCHING THEM RN HOLY FUCK IM BORING
but what is it?
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
Alright
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
The fact you went from 34 supps to 7 supps in this short amount of time is actually commendable dude lol
Oh wow. Thanks a lot
thank you 😭 That took a lot out of me.
Im actually really down to only 3 stanford essays which are due tom. I should probably update my profile
Damn thats awesome
Keep at it man!!
Is it fine if my vid is 1:30 minutes
is there any accepted brown videos that arent like crazy good
i mean no edits
straight up 2 minute uncut
because thats what ill be submitting maybe anclip of me running but thats it
so im wondering if i dont submit it tbh
anyone here admitted without one?
idk if it wil help
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
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?
submitted video!
Frrr
I don't think I'll send a video anymore. I'm overthinking this shit
That’s reasonable
I’m still gonna try to
I just am still brainstorming
Filming won’t be a problem because I do have some free time
yall think the AOs mess with don toliver and playboi carti background music
Yes
im just using chill lofi music to hide the fact that my mic quality is garbage
Bruh has anyone's writing supplement not been downloaded
I submitted it at 1/3 10pm pst
it takes a sec it doesnt matter
i submitted mine at like 11:50 pm something
Alr got it
Is it okay if im like over 2 mins
Where would u say it’d actually be a problem
Like how many seconds over
Cause idk how i can reduce it tbh 😭
speed it up slightly
like 1.01x speed
Ill try that
Brah it messed with the audio 😭😭now i sound like a robot
Btw are we supposed to mention brown in the video
It should be thru the portal
Ya its thru the portal
I feel like if they don’t send the portal in time for you they’ll understand if you submit the vid late no?
they send it in about 24 hrs :(( so you can't really do that.
I see
when did you apply?
me too and i got my portal already
hi fenshi also is the deadline for the video the 6th 11:59pm or the 6th first thing?
probably 6th 11:59
great
i've got all my footage but i just haven't edited it yet rip
eh i dont plan to edit
you did one take?
I have a bajillion different photos and things lmaoo
i uh dont have the time or the resources or energy to do that
im acc recording rn, im just sitting at my desk
have you checked your spam
time to cram mit & amherst supplementals and brown video in one day
praying to the college gods
half assed my video and i sound like a dead robot but its done 😭
theyre gonna reject me because i stuttered while saying despite 😍
w
nope
mine was like 4 seconds above
and I have seen people with 20 seconds above get in on YT
when are they due?
Tentatively, January 6
no im literally texting as im tiptoing to my grave (dont wanna wake the others in the cemetery)
as how 😭
you can edit it in 1 day
i did mine in 1 day
you will be fine tbh 😭
unless you are trying to produce an Oscar winning video 😭
the problem is my other apps + im tryina learn an entire half impromptu for pton
men, that's true 😭
6 hours tops
as long you have your materials (pictures/short videos) ready
Do u know which video??
Im so scared tbh
yea idk what ur supposed to put in the vid
But i feel like if i cut anything know its gonna sound really
Off
they won't penalize you tbh 😂
just talk about yourself 🤣
U sureee
Im like a whole 15 secs over
Thats like 1/4th of a minute
use 50% to talk about parts not seen in your app
use the remaining to corroborate some of your ECs or essays
i have seen 30 seconds 😭
Can you pls send me the video TT
do you want me to send it here or dm
gang is it okay if i make it an election speech if im applying for poli sci
Anything’s good!! Whatever you’d like
vote yesimatree for brown undergrad 2029
AYYYYEEEE
LOCK IN 




Literally 🐻🐻🐻
i literally need to finish this video today 🥲 why did my mom never force me to become a youtuber or something
dont growl at the aos brown students are quirky but not thatt quirky
LMAOOO
I saw a girl flirt with her admission officer in the video online tbh that video was so risky but its so funny💀💀💀
gives vibes of yale guy who tried to kiss his interviewer
“He growled at Y/N’s face. He was angry, and he was about to turn into an Alpha Sigma Omega whatever wolf!!!!!”

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.
(side note: in case you didn't notice, the background music ...
AHAHHA

that would be creative

Thank youuu!!

To send the message loud and clear
YESSSS U GET MEEE
im winking in the video im winking in the interview only thing im missing is a few winks in my supplementals
"how will you use the open curriculum"
"i dont mind filling a few of your open curriculums iykwim"
LMAOO go in with “;)”
thankfully, Brown doesn't give interviews 😭😂
“Describe yourself in 3 words”
;), 😉, 😏
Thank god 😭
dartmouth more like shit miuth
wow gross thats too far what part of this conversation made u think weird connotations like that were okay
HELPPPP
“Ill fill the holes in ur open syllabus 🫦🫦🫦
unfortunately (for them)
😭😭
🤨🤨🤨 maybe ur not as freaky as i thought
i plan to use my 2 year exploring period to do a whole lot of exploring 😏
pass/fail? ill pass the whisky and fail my pastor with you 😘
do u still think that
“I plan to meet up with professor (redacted) privately to research important topics”
Nope im just jokig
Procrastinating on my video 🙂↕️
Its 11 pm here i need to finish in like one more hour
hate these professorfishes who put 20 year old photos on their faculty website. I came here for some hot academia hunk/mama not a decaying walnut #firstworldproblems
😭😭 brah when i was applying to rice yesterday there was this lab called butt lab
I like had to think twice before mentioning it
its okay im procrastinating my own too
butt rice sounds like cross-contamination tbh. they should get a health inspector on that
OKAY BYE WE GOT THIS
do i have to add a why brown element to the end of my video
eh probably
cuz i think i connected it well
but the video is too long aaaaa
Same problem here 🙂↕️
not really
just like 5 secs mentioning Brown is cool
...you can submit papers to Brown? is this supposed to be done through the portal?
oh alright
how many can I submit
haven't been able to log in yet
is it fine to share like projects u made as well, like sort of mit maker portfolio or things u just like to tinker with
especially if its relevant to the essays/major
Is the brown video a hard and fast deadline or will they allow a tiny bit of time
what am i supposed to write here?
and the representative work
oh right cuz this is a general upload thing?
oh damn
you cant go back
:)
wait when did you see that
i just uploaded it and it auto submitted for me 😭
while its processing before i clicked submit
there is a small "edit information"
alright ill forget about college apps now
^^ is there a grace period or smthn like that
also is there importance to production value and allat or can i just stare at the camera and talk for 2 minutes
u can just stare and talk if u want i think most people do that
the videos u see online r there because theyre also just interesting to watch!
YEAHH thats why i asked, the ones online are so goo
idk i wanna make a well edited one but i thought itd be due in a week and not jan 6
honestly im still unsure which deadline it is but ig jan 6 to be safe 😭
tyy u too
is this et time?
Upload
Is this a strict deadline
I literally have no time to do it tomorrow
Omg..
Girl I need to do my upenn app
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
Whatevs I'm just gonna not go to work and emt tomorrow lmaoo
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
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
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
Has anyone else not gotten the portal yet 😭
I submitted on Jan 3 and it says downloaded by college on Common App
literally same
guys i cannot get the capcut symbol out of the video
am i cooked
or will they ignore that
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
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...
that’s strange
i used capcut to edit and there was no watermark, only one at the end which was removable
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
if you have no ideas, look at the prompts they give you
they do not expect fancy editing
just a clear exhibition of who you are as a person
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
(genuine question) how does the all nighter thing contribute to the meaning?
(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
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
i think its to help show "fit"
so more like why brown + you
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
No fr like
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
🤷♀️
does the portal just stop accepting submissions after the deadline 😭
or is there a grace period 😭
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
also it doesnt need to be hyperedited just submit what you have
if you over edit it i'm gonna think you're a weirdo ngl
i was gonna edit a lot for transitions....
i havent touched photoshop in my life
photoshop is not a video editing software
would mentioning that i edited it in moviepy score me points
what the fuck
i've currently written +1000 lines of code just for the first minute
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
fenshi what the actual fuck
prolly 6th
cuz it redirects to brown admissions website
if u go to plme website
