frank shoal
#

one of them had

#

15 stories

#

on it

#

i lowk js skipped them ngl i was NOT doing allat

dreamy lichen
#

I didn’t fw Turkish I don’t think

sullen cypress
#

does brown do appeals

frank shoal
#

yuppp

#

exp if you have a peer school (amherst)

sullen cypress
#

cuz rn its 29K vs 40K

dreamy lichen
#

Not necessarily

#

What school gave you 29k

sullen cypress
#

Amherst

#

Amherst 29K vs Brown 40K

#

I wanna go to brown though

#

😭

dreamy lichen
#

UMass?

#

Or Amherst college

sullen cypress
#

Amherst college

#

and to clarify

#

I mean

#

it's 29K out of pocket a year vs 40K out of pocket

frank shoal
#

well

#

not match

#

but you can explain why its so high and stuff

dreamy lichen
#

They might consider it

sullen cypress
#

they'd try to close the gap though

frank shoal
#

and theyll help

#

amherst is rly prestigious so that helps

dreamy lichen
#

Seeing as Amherst is need-based

frank shoal
sullen cypress
#

if I can get it into the low/mid thirties, that would be great

#

my brother pays 32K a year to commute to Fordham for an hour drive

#

if I can get away with the same price, but with dorming at an IVY LEAGUE, thats worth it imo

dreamy lichen
#

Send in an appeal

burnt geode
#

bye bye megathreads

dreamy lichen
#

If you have other need-based offers send those to

frank shoal
burnt geode
#

Where the poll at

dreamy lichen

merry pebble
#

shi

#

they said 2400 accepted on their Instagram

frank shoal
#

frank shoal

congrats

frank shoal
grave lagoon
#

thank youuu

#

i’ve been being hella optimistic ever since brown reached out to my counselor abt me

#

the ten hours leading up to decisions were single handedly the most stressed i’ve ever been in my life 😭

frank shoal
#

i couldnt do anything

lunar sphinx
#

I tried to work

#

I physically could not

#

like I struggled to open my laptop

dreamy lichen
#

lunar sphinx

Extremely

sullen cypress
#

huh

dreamy lichen
#

Admissions watches through your windows as you go to sleep at night

sullen cypress
#

aight but fr though

dreamy lichen
#

If you spend one second not locked in

sullen cypress
#

I'm assuming as long as no crime is committed

dreamy lichen
#

What are your mid year grades

sullen cypress
#

so at worst, all As and one B atm, with the said B being in Calc BC

dreamy lichen
#

Just don’t screw up majorly

#

ok welcome to Brown everyone
the best, happiest, most supportive school in the face of the earth welcomes you

#

i’m going to go spend the next five hours applying to internships so I can find some self worth

full yarrow
#

i think its decent compared to other ones

#

i got waitlisted cornell, columbia, upenn and brown so hopefully one pulls through

full yarrow
#

ya

tulip fog
#

could i get some help writing a loci from anyone who got off the wl in the past 😭

#

if anyones available

half quartz
#

Is there a brown group I could join to lurk in or something?

dreamy lichen
#

I doubt both if there’s someone here off the waitlist and also if we’d be able to help you create a better loci than you could yourself

#

There’s no secrets to it
It’s pretty much a rejection but if they have space they’ll think about it

neat kernel
#

Wow so many people got into Brown from this server

frank shoal
frank shoal
#

you have to be committed for that one i think

sullen stirrup
#

did anyone admitted in RD get the acceptance email yet?

neat kernel
#

Yes

sullen cypress
#

btw guys

#

2,418 out of 42,765 in total got into Brown, applicant pool lower than last year but its the highest ever pool for a test-required Brown application year

#

5.65% acceptance rate

#

which is slightly higher than last year (5.4%)

tulip fog
#

idrk what to write

#

i mean i would definitely commit if i got off the wl

#

but yeah i dont reall yhave hope 💀

#

but thanks for the info

#

yay

wooden glen
#

brown is about 10% acceptance rate off the waitlist i think

#

they said they estimate 1k-1.5k will accept the waitlist spot then based on previous years datas they take 100-200 kids per year from the waitlist

tulip fog
#

tbh thats not even horrible

#

but i feel like a lot of the students they pick off the wl will be to fill demographics

#

so i might be screwed

wooden glen
#

im not sure if brown is

tulip fog
#

oh fr?

#

so like if u can pay ur off?

#

or what

wooden glen
#

well not that cut and dry

tulip fog
#

but like its considered

wooden glen
#

but some schools prefer full pay from waitlist

tulip fog
#

ok

#

yay

#

i can prob pay

#

its like 90k right

#

probably

wooden glen
#

as for the demographics part, idk man ive seen quite a few asian kids get off the waitlist so

tulip fog
#

oh alright

#

then theres hope

wooden glen
#

its more about a class aka like, certain interests or ecs or majors etc

tulip fog
#

i see

#

i applied for physics

#

so idk

sullen cypress
#

I'm prob committing either next week or the week after, depending on how quick they can review my aid appeal

#

and also gotta book a counselor session

cyan abyss
#

i could be wrong

tulip fog
#

If it’s like 20 kids then yeah

#

I mean in the wl doc they said it can be anywhere from 20-120

#

If it’s 120 that’s like 5%? I think

#

So idk

wooden glen
tulip fog
wooden glen
tulip fog
#

i wanted to go to berkeley

#

but idk that one looks bad

wooden glen
#

ohhhh

#

oh my god 😭

image.png
tulip fog
#

yeahh

#

wish i was co27

#

💀

#

see actually if we analyze this data it goes up one year and then down the next right

#

and overtime the two have been getting more extreme

#

that means this year its going be 75% off the wl

wooden glen
#

LMAOOO maybe

tulip fog
#

trust

#

yay gl

#

thats monday right

wooden glen
#

yes!

tulip fog
#

u got this

#

wait also idk how waitlists work like

#

if someone doesnt go that was accepted to business

#

can a physics major get off the wl

wooden glen
#

oh i have no clue

tulip fog
#

or would they replace them with a business major

#

oh ok

wooden glen
#

but waitlist movement is waitlist movement

tulip fog
#

yeah for sure

#

i was looking at the data

#

its like

#

only 150 students for undergrad physics per year? i think

#

im not sure maybe im wrong

#

but i thought it would be more

#

or maybe uts just competetive

wooden glen
#

i think spieker (haas) is like 200 students per year

tulip fog
#

oh ok

#

that doesnt sound too unrealistic for physics then

#

isnt haas good

wooden glen
#

its just below wharton

tulip fog
#

dayum

#

thats crazy bro congrats

wooden glen
#

thank u !!!

tulip fog
#

wooden glen

merry pebble
#

@wooden glen are u not going to Columbia

tulip fog
merry pebble
#

WHAT I thought you had a likely

tulip fog

wooden glen
merry pebble
#

sorry to hear

wooden glen
#

#

but they admit by school not major so

tulip fog

wooden glen
tulip fog

tulip fog

wooden glen
#

it means the cost would be the same no matter where i go so

#

it would be great if i had more options to weigh

tulip fog
#

yeah

#

how much is berkeley

#

like around 70k?

#

or is it more

wooden glen
#

85k total COA per year

tulip fog
#

wooden glen

tulip fog

wooden glen
last island
#

is it just "i don't wanna"

noble plaza

Well it’s not worth it for my family over Umich Ross

ocean crown
noble plaza
#

The thing for me is that

wooden glen
#

oh umich ross for sure yeah

last island

or finances (then that's valid lowk)

ocean crown

I grew up right next to Umich campus

noble plaza
#

I want Duke so bad

ocean crown
noble plaza
#

I’d go Duke over Ross

ocean crown
#

Unless you’re instate

wooden glen

if im going tech entrepreneurship haas would be better no?

wooden glen
ocean crown
noble plaza
#

I really want Duke

#

Or Harvard waitlist to pull through

ocean crown
#

again if you’re instate no college is worth 240k more than berkeley

ocean crown
wooden glen
ocean crown
#

the only people who reject offers are other HYPSM cross admits

wooden glen
#

iirc princeton sometimes takes only a handful off, sometimes they take like 15% off

#

its really a tossup

ocean crown
#

we’re not seeing that this year

wooden glen
#

this is true hmmm

ocean crown
#

pray your name gets drawn out of the 10-20 spots

wooden glen
#

yeah the likelihood is princeton will take maybe like 3% of their waitlist off

ocean crown
#

probably less

#

does anyone have stats for stern waitlist ar

#

or nyu as a whole wtvr

wooden glen
#

class of 2025 for princeton was 4.35% waitlist AR (26 kids)

#

last year they took 40 kids (2.87% AR)

noble plaza
noble plaza
#

Harvard took 41 last year

#

Idk how many are on it tho

wooden glen
#

ahhh

#

well thats still 41 kids that got it

#

its not impossible its just hard

ocean crown
wooden glen
#

i mean my point is, theres almost always some people that get off the waitlist

#

its hard but not impossible

full yarrow
#

is brown easier to get off the WL than other schools?

ocean crown
#

other ivies?

#

I mean all are about the same except HYP

full yarrow
#

i saw a 19% number somewhere for brown which seems high

wooden glen
full yarrow
#

i also got WL at columbia, upenn, and cornell, are WL ARs similar there?

wooden glen
#

i dont think all schools publish their wl data

full yarrow
#

ah

wooden glen
#

ik cornell and upenn waitlist a lot but i also know they have big undergrad populations

cyan abyss
#

shoot your shot

#

you got this

tulip fog
#

yeah thanks 🙏

#

i have science fair next week

#

lemme lock in

random inlet

random inlet
#

random inlet
tulip fog
#

I think on the upload materials thing and just do supplementary materials

Cuz I don’t think they accept email updates

wooden glen

#

how long does it take for da acceptance packages to arrive

grave lagoon
#

im an international and my package apparently came in the mail today

#

oblique hound

grave lagoon
#

but apparently the admissions office kinda confirmed my brown acceptance to my counselor a month ago

#

Do they give any merch

grave lagoon

grave lagoon
#

bro FedEx lied to my mail provider 💔

#

got my hopes up bruh

karmic cobalt
#

quick question

#

this probably sounds weird

#

but can you transfer to brown plme from a different bsmd

#

if its the same length

#

in terms of time to complete

#

also whats the point of 8 year bsmd programs

#

if a bachelors + md is already 8 years

#

because 4+4=8

frank shoal
frank shoal
#

with under 5% acceptance rates

#

being premed is like hell

#

so bsmd allows you to skip that and go to premed

dreamy lichen
#

bsmd is a contract you sign before college with effects into med school

#

you can go to warren alpert from another undergrad

frail tide
#

chat, i know this requires many variables to decide, but would you choose brown or columbia for CS?

neat kernel

omg

violet wren

#

personally i probably would pick brown cs unless you really like liberal arts and stuff because the core curriculum will make you take courses related to stuff like art history

violet wren
#

yes

#

cplumbia NY location does have an edge though so props to that

drowsy crypt
#

because I happen to need to choose between Stanford and Brown and parents think that Stanford is a no-brainer for cs

#

ooh I just looked online and yea seems like Brown tops Stanford in most median salary rankings

#

I wonder why?

wooden glen
#

its literally ranked #1 + proximity to silicon valley

drowsy crypt
wooden glen
#

iirc it might be skewed

drowsy crypt
#

Due to sampling bias or wdym?

wooden glen
#

response bias

drowsy crypt
#

Oh right

#

yep tyty

wooden glen
drowsy crypt
#

Yes

wooden glen
#

stanford is also sunny :D

#

only thing id pick brown over is open curriculum + chill vibe

drowsy crypt
#

Like a morbillion of my friends or people I like are going to Brown tho 😭

#

Yeah they've obv got a chill atmosphere cos they admit CHILL PEOPLE

wooden glen
#

at least what ive heard is to never base a college decision based off of who you know

drowsy crypt
#

Ah fair

#

I was 80% leaning towards Stanford already and plus it's my dream school lmao

#

I just like being a contrarian, even against myself

wooden glen
#

also the nice thing is that college can be a new fresh start for you!

#

i didnt apply to any schools within like a 2 state radius because i didnt wanna run into anyone i knew

drowsy crypt
#

But if I enroll at Stanford then you guys might whoop our ass at the big game for the 5th (?) year in a row and I can't take that

#

OR I'll lock in and somehow manifest a win into existence

wooden glen

#

DANG good luck!!

#

more than every other undergraduate college aside from CMU

#

Students at higher ranked cs schools like Stanford mit etc do pursue grad school so that drags down the average/median for cs salary

#

Everything evens out when we consider a long term salary avg

drowsy crypt
#

ooooh that explains a lot

#

tysm

#

lock in it’s gonna be rigorous

I read up about the Pixar affiliations but does that explain it?

frank shoal
#

the data is collected by the us government

#

i agree though stanford > brown for cs def

drowsy crypt
#

okok ty

frank shoal
drowsy crypt
#

is Brown definitively going to be a better 4 years?

#

I mean, I love the alleged vibe

#

I'm friends with someone who's going there

#

but Stanford also fits my vibe in a different way

#

and idk if you can call Stanford's advantages "minimal" but lmk what you think

#

I'm defo posting an x-vs-y

frank shoal
#

you hear a ton of things about like browns 'happy' vibe or stanny's 'cs/entrepreneurship' focused vibe

#

but those r like hard to guage exp since yk

#

student bodies change and everything

#

id think more about like boston vs sf, whether youre okay with stanford WAYS, palo alto vs providence

frank shoal
#

but browns is def top tier and people regularly get into the internships/companies they want

#

around 30% of students who get into both will choose brown, so while its the less trodden path theres def a good amount of people who choose either side

#

id assume thats influenced by humanities majors tbh id imagine if you did js cs majors it would favor stanford, but thats just an educated guess

drowsy crypt
#

For sure

frank shoal
#

stanny and brown were my top choices and since i did qb, i spent a TON of time trying to choose which to rank as my #1

#

having both options must be way harder

drowsy crypt
#

I think I'll have a think. I honestly see myself as a "want to do everything" person and my ecs and interests are actually very very interdisciplinary

#

In that regard Brown calls to me for sure

frank shoal
#

both r awesome for cs and seem like a nice team cant really go wrong

sullen cypress
#

Brown came in clutch

#

Gave me 12K more in aid

#

43K a year -> 31K a year

#

Which is cheaper than what my bro pays for Fordham commuting

#

(That aid includes dorming btw)

#

AND during my senior year, the price will be the old price (43K) instead of 60K

frank shoal
#

i knew they would clutch up

also a quick question

#

if i do plme

#

how does doing athletics at brown work

half quartz
#

U have a normal undergrad with plme

#

Like premed but less stress

#

So I'm assuming athletics wouldn't really be much different for u

ya'll does Brown give out acceptance packages?

neat kernel
cunning saffron
karmic cobalt
drowsy crypt
#

often they contain an information pamphlet and some other goodies. I think that this is a relic of a time when acceptance letters came physically, so the gifts are an attempt to sway you in their favor on the spot

#

Marquette sends a pretzel iirc (completely irrelevant just wanted to share lol)

cyan abyss
#

seems like a lot of fun

#

like they give us the paper letter anyway its not like they're saving paper

adoch moment

#

🦦

dapper oasis
#

i was dumb as shit and rushed my decision

#

and i think i rejected their offer before they mailed the stuf fout

#

because i literally just got the physical letter and absolutely nothing else

#

😭

frank shoal
#

spring weekend lineup is actually so insane

frank shoal
#

ok

#

so

#

there are like infinite reasons

#

but

#

starting off

#

there is no school in america (that isnt some random ass lac in kentucky) that comes close to the freedon you get at brown

#

wait are yall even here i feel like im in an echo chamber

#

@jade arch @primal ravine

primal ravine
#

😭 yess

frank shoal
#

so what r yall majoring in

#

i feel like that def plays a factor in what im about to say

primal ravine
#

physics + philosophy (brown-specific major :p)

#

only a handful of other schools have it so :D

jade arch
#

I was buying a train ticket sorry

#

I definitely like the freedom

frank shoal
jade arch
#

And I like the math program a lot

frank shoal
jade arch
#

I'm just worried about the overall experience of the school and employment opportunities out Brown

primal ravine
#

i didn't know that

frank shoal
#

yessir

#

for undergrad

#

for grad its #4 but still awesome

primal ravine
#

that's crazyy

#

oh nyu's 2nd

jade arch
#

Mhm

frank shoal
#

but career wise brown grads still do extremely well

primal ravine
#

kinda why i wanna ED to brown / uchicago

frank shoal
#

for applied math theres a bunch of like off shoots

#

applied math - econ and a few others

frank shoal
#

core vs open

jade arch
frank shoal
#

uchicago is also on a quarter system (ew)

primal ravine
#

yeahh i like the core more

#

but you can pretty much emulate the core even at a shcool with open

frank shoal
#

chicago and providence are pretty different as well

#

my opinion of providence is that its really nice with an awesome food scene and has most stuff

#

but not exactly a big city like boston or anything

#

however it was like ~1 hr by train to boston

jade arch
#

Mhm fair enough

frank shoal
#

so for weekends or wtv its very accessible

#

i think for me a big factor was also risd if yall r interested in that

#

the best arts school in the country and you can take classes and stuff

primal ravine
#

BEST THING EVER

frank shoal
#

RIGHT

#

risd is so awesome

#

risd museum has such cool pieces holy

primal ravine
#

it's like columbia-juilliard but for artists 🥺

#

and you also get to experience other things

#

like museums n stuff

#

outside of classes

frank shoal
#

exactlyyyyy

#

i know this is mentioned every time someone brings up brown but

primal ravine
#

are u gonna talk about the open curriculum 😭

frank shoal
#

but

#

grade inflation

jade arch
primal ravine
#

true

frank shoal
#

open curriculum is cool asf but i think the main appeal for me from it was

primal ravine
#

ngl though i don't love grade inflation 😭

frank shoal
#

the ability to dual major easily

primal ravine
frank shoal
#

like extremely easily

frank shoal
jade arch
#

Does Brown have a good sports culture?

frank shoal
#

it isnt like the classes are easy

#

the classes should like the difficulty of peer instituitions that r inflated from what ive heard

frank shoal
primal ravine
jade arch
#

Nobody goes to like basketball games or whatever?

frank shoal
primal ravine
#

whoar that's cool asf

frank shoal
#

and there was really good attendance

#

like people will go to harvard vs brown for example football

#

or like if brown is in a ivy madness game

jade arch
#

Mhm

frank shoal
#

but it wont exactly be packed for a regular season game ykwim

jade arch
#

Yeah fair

frank shoal
#

the facilities were also really nice when i went inside

#

most things looked really good like athletics or the engineering maker spaces

#

the campus also AWESOME but i think my fav part was how diff departments were in these like mansions that were repurposed for

#

each department

#

well some of them

#

but some were genuinely so gorgeous

#

scili views on topppp

#

last but not least brown students are super chill when i talked to them and almost all said the best thing about brown were the students

#

smart asf people are drawn to teh chill environment so you end up being with a bunch of chill ppl (co'29 is really nice)

#

also offset AND jt are coming to campus this year and i wnot be there im gonna kms bruh

jade arch
