dream progression

[dapper oasis]

mb described relationship status

gg

my friend is doing that unironically

he has housing accommodations so single this year and next

💀

[frank shoal]

no way 😭

honestly w him

exp if he actually needs the accomodation

[dapper oasis]

ye it’s legit he’s not a fraud

[frank shoal]

90% of the '29 class is gunning for some kinda accomodation or subfree

[dapper oasis]

he needs a bathroom let’s just say that

[frank shoal]

its bouta been insane

[dapper oasis]

🦦

[frank shoal]

private bathroom is a win

[dapper oasis]

i didn’t apply for it but i probably could’ve bc im also a bathroommaxxer

like 5+ hours a day

yw for the info

[frank shoal]

the only thing i really want is the

bonner fellows

[dapper oasis]

but i’m in emwool so it worked out fine

[frank shoal]

idc about anything outside bonner fellows and sub free

[dapper oasis]

TRUE

[noble plaza]

GOT OFF WAITLIST RN

HOLY SHIT

[cyan abyss]

CONGRATULATIONS

[wooden glen]

WHATTTTT

HOWD YOU KNOW

[noble plaza]

They emailed

Didn’t even submit a loci

[ocean crown]

@noble plaza were u the one on reddit

[noble plaza]

Yes

[ocean crown]

are you committing?

[noble plaza]

I’m visiting 4 schools and then deciding

[cyan abyss]

goat

[ocean crown]

why did you pick gtown over penn?

[cyan abyss]

still picking tbh but i like gtown more

[jade arch]

He's going into polisci

[dapper oasis]

imagine ts just "yeah dawg ur GONE gone"

[neat kernel]

Congratulations!

Now come to Brown 🤑

[cyan abyss]

she

[jade arch]

Ah sorry!

[frank shoal]

RAHHHHHH

wait r u the cornell/mich/nu guy on reddit

[ocean crown]

he is

[noble plaza]

For adoch is there any way to stay with a student or no

I’m visiting Cornell from the 22nd to 23rd and adoch is the 24th…. My parents will not be with me and I’m not 18 so I can’t get a hotel

And I’m going straight from Cornell to brown prolly

[cyan abyss]

is it literally just a day

can you come in the morning and leave at night

because its not a weekend

but also im pretty sure they used to host kids

[noble plaza]

Yea it’s one day

[noble plaza]

The problem is Cornell is in the middle of nowhere so there’s nothing overnight. I could either get there the night before and have nowhere to stay or the morning after midday a few hours after everything starts

[cyan abyss]

ah that makes sense

[drowsy gyro]

yeah its lowk in the middle of nowhere and theres also no direct flights from their airport

which makes plane tickets quite expensive

[carmine nymph]

Hi

Had anyone heard back from waitlist yet

[wooden glen]

a few people got off a couple days ago

[carmine nymph]

i saw. that

its crazy

[wooden glen]

i’m guessing next wave won’t be for a bit tho

[carmine nymph]

oh

[cyan abyss]

probably

do you think theyll do another wave before may 1

[wooden glen]

perhaps but i wouldnt count on it

maybe early may though

[cyan abyss]

what makes you say this

[wooden glen]

it’s an anomaly that an ivy started letting people off their waitlist this early in the first place

[cyan abyss]

thank you jeni apple very cool

[wooden glen]

you’re welcome youtiao pear!

[full yarrow]

does it mean that enough people declined their admission before may 1?

[cyan abyss]

no clue

[noble plaza]

Brown always takes abt 150 kids off wl

They prolly took like maybe 10-15 off here

More will come

[wooden glen]

woo!

[wooden glen]

are u considering brown?

[noble plaza]

I’m visiting for their admitted student day on Thursday

[ocean crown]

how could you pick ILR over brown tho

[noble plaza]

Huh

[wooden glen]

i think he means cornell ILR

[cyan abyss]

enjoy!

[noble plaza]

Yeah but like what does he mean

[frank shoal]

hes saying that picking ilr over brown is insane i think

dont let it influence your choice

[ocean crown]

yeah

cuz ILR is basically Suny Ithaca and brown is the happiest college in the US and you major in econ or smn

[frank shoal]

😭

i think theyre prelaw

id push heavily for brown but ilr wouldnt be a mistake

i think

still nice premed

[ocean crown]

ilr keeps gpa up but ur also studying industrial labor relations

[frank shoal]

ilr being really niche would be my biggest complaint

[frank shoal]

yeah

brown grade inflation would probably be js as good if not better

but cornell has things that brown does not and vice versa

[noble plaza]

I think I’m between brown and Umich Ross

I’ve heard Umich places better job wise

And lots of school spirit and football and it’s close to home

But idk ugh

[frank shoal]

youre econ?

ib

?

[ocean crown]

if you do IB yeah

assuming you got into ross

but worst for prelaw if u do that

idk why but Ross has an insane amount of prestigious IB placement, however Brown is still on par on a per capita basis

[carmine nymph]

did all the brown waitlist admits drop at the same time

last week

[wooden glen]

you have ross instate???

[wooden glen]

probably only like 10-15 out of the 100+ they usually admit

[carmine nymph]

Do u think the next bit will drop next week

@wooden glen

[wooden glen]

it could, but i wouldn’t bank on it

[carmine nymph]

Minecraft

[frank shoal]

no js one wave

[frank shoal]

yeah brown places extraordinarily well into ib

not a brown thing tho

js like a general ivy thing

[ocean crown]

Dartmouth is kinda cheeks tho

also non-wharton penn and non-dyson cornell could be unideal since you’re being outshined by biz school kids for IB recruitment

[carmine nymph]

Oh

[frank shoal]

darty is one of the better ivies for ib ngl

theyre cracked

[frank shoal]

yea lowk

[cyan abyss]

agree

[cyan abyss]

yeah this LMAOAOO

[ocean crown]

Meh, according to the target school list there’s only two semi-target ivies and darty is one of them

https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools

idk how this works tho cuz they get a bunch of hires and decent elite firm %age

[frank shoal]

cant speak for darty but ik brown places really low on lists since students largely self select out of ib

maybe its the same at darty idk

[feral plank]

If you click through, they list Dartmouth as #7 for undergrad hiring. They're 25 in total. Brown is #22 for undergrad hiring. And UMich is #26.

[ocean crown]

they’re just 7th in % of undergrad population in investment banking

[feral plank]

Yep - that seems pretty high, though. As in that it's probably a target if that percentage of students is going into IB.

And then 63% going to elite firms.

versus 34% at UMich

[ocean crown]

But like Darty presence is low according to the chart and EB% too, their econ grad salaries are also generally lower than other top schools with a median at 80k compared to like mid to high 80s

[feral plank]

I think I'm just reading it as that a smaller school will have an overall lower number of people going into any field. Like the lacs are gonna be real low, but they're definitely a pathway into IB. But the percentage of people from darty is high and then the percentage to the top firms is high. The EB numbers are kind of weird to me. Looks like it's got a sort of Chicago-centric view? Indiana and Northwestern and UMich with the bigger numbers. I dunno how that works.

[cyan abyss]

dang nice

[cyan abyss]

yeah brown is not an IB school 😭

kids do not walk around thinking about IB like at penn

[frank shoal]

yeah

[frank shoal]

sadly 🥀

[cyan abyss]

i like that it's not though

[frank shoal]

we need more corporate sellouts the endowment low asf 😭

[cyan abyss]

when i was at penn day i already heard the word quant like 3 times

[wooden glen]

what is that a bad thing 💔

[wooden glen]

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[frank shoal]

💀

quant makes me die inside

[cyan abyss]

so real

[wooden glen]

zetamac mentioned

[cyan abyss]

me going to the IB school and im gonna hide in libraries and be a humanities nerd

🤩

[frank shoal]

idk whats worse the theater/english major who method acts 24/7 or the quant gunner who sacrifices social skills for that paycheck

[wooden glen]

one of them has a soul

[frank shoal]

hiding in fisher tho 😍

[frank shoal]

one of them is ignorable

take your pick

[noble plaza]

Yea

[frank shoal]

i find it so funny how its the preprof schools that go niche asf

[cyan abyss]

bro lowkey

if i was instate for ross i would definitely go

[frank shoal]

berk has the world renowned furry club instead of a lac thats kinda wild

[wooden glen]

esp if ur trying to break into IB lol

[noble plaza]

Yeah maybe

I like the sports a ton but also like I don’t drink and stuff

[frank shoal]

i feel like ib isnt smth that yk youre deadset on as a hs

and if you pivot your other options blow mich out of the water

[cyan abyss]

nah this is not like IB related

im thinking cost, closeness to family

[frank shoal]

yeah

[cyan abyss]

plus its hard to blow mich (especially ross) out of the water either way

[frank shoal]

if cost wasnt a factor idt i would go mich i think

love the sports but

[wooden glen]

umich is legit such a perfect combo of academics, school spirit, sports, and oppurtunities

[noble plaza]

Idk/idt im doing ib sounds like hell

[ocean crown]

fr tho

[noble plaza]

Ye alumni network is crazy

[ocean crown]

why are they so stingy to brown 💔 do they not like the research on poop?

[frank shoal]

so many rich actors too they doing too much 🥀

[cyan abyss]

brown is surprisingly very efficient at using the research money effectively tbf

[ocean crown]

uva 10 bil endowment 😤

[cyan abyss]

when i worked in the lab they had so much stuff

[noble plaza]

Like Umich is a safe option.. some of the Ross kids that got in for co2029 are actual idiots. Ik ill do really well there and enjoy it prolly

But brown could be super fun and something new…

[cyan abyss]

uva is mogging

[frank shoal]

RIGHT

[ocean crown]

rowley and mr.fantastic bro???

[cyan abyss]

emma watson

[frank shoal]

i was kinda shocked everythinng was really nice

[ocean crown]

I’d sellout for that cast

[frank shoal]

mr fantastic instead of jim from the office is certainly a choice

[cyan abyss]

so real

[frank shoal]

almost missed who you meant

[frank shoal]

endowment per student we beat columbia thats good enough for me 💔

[cyan abyss]

oh this is trueeeee

also i think brown has a bigger undergrad focus

[ocean crown]

you probably beat cornell too

[frank shoal]

we do

[ocean crown]

cornell has a lower endowment per student than public unis lol

[frank shoal]

yeah

[frank shoal]

everyone lower than ut austin

[ocean crown]

brown, princeton and darty have that undergrad focus without law school and biz school

[frank shoal]

apparently that might be changing so we’ll wait and see

[cyan abyss]

well darty has a fantastic biz school right

[ocean crown]

ut austin 40 bil endowment but too stingy to give out OOS aid

[cyan abyss]

tuck

[frank shoal]

yeah but def in like diff aspects

[frank shoal]

yeah and med

prob still the most undergrad focused tho

[cyan abyss]

true

[ocean crown]

oh oops i forgot

[frank shoal]

fr

[wooden glen]

bro why is ut austin lowkey the public school endowment goat

[ocean crown]

cuz texas is big

[frank shoal]

they got hella students tho so it balances out

[ocean crown]

I’m surprised they care that much about education in texas

[frank shoal]

like all things

fr

[wooden glen]

what 😭

[ocean crown]

I mean… texas

[wooden glen]

bro

dallas, houston, and austin 😭

[ocean crown]

yes but ted cruz

[wooden glen]

has bro even been to the south 😭 🙏

[ocean crown]

florida, yeah but that’s cuz east coast is goated

[frank shoal]

big portion tho 😭

so glad texas florida and cali exist

[ocean crown]

still 4x the endowment of any other state uni is insane

[frank shoal]

the rest of us get to live in peace

[ocean crown]

fyi ucla gets 8 bil for 40k kids

[cyan abyss]

texas is still pretty close ngl

its flippable

[ocean crown]

wait huh does ucla get 4 or 8 bil

[wooden glen]

i will NOT accept texas slander from non-texans

[ocean crown]

i see competing info

[cyan abyss]

real

[ocean crown]

that is NOT close bro

6%/1 million vote diff

[wooden glen]

icl im seeing your takes on texas and staring at the uva in your name 😭 i cant take it seriously

[cyan abyss]

wait we might be venturing too deep into the no politics rule

[cyan abyss]

HELP

[ocean crown]

ts pmo

[wooden glen]

ut austin goated

[ocean crown]

1 and 2 are both texas

[wooden glen]

texas goated like that

[ocean crown]

what is this supposed to mean 🤨

[wooden glen]

i will NOT accept texas slander from non-texans

[carmine nymph]

Bro

[carmine nymph]

brown waitlist gotta pull through

[dapper oasis]

peanits

be gladge i did not detonate the bomb during adoch today . . . .

(for legal reasons i am required to note that this is a joke)

[silent wren]

oh.

[dapper oasis]

mad?

[silent wren]

im MALDING

[dapper oasis]

zrue.

[noble plaza]

Is brown or Umich Ross gonna get me a better job

[ocean crown]

You’re probably going to end up at the same job lol

[cyan abyss]

probably the same

[ocean crown]

go Umich and save 200k for grad school rka

[cyan abyss]

this might be based ngl

[wooden glen]

umich ross in state is so goated

[ocean crown]

Be so fr tho even if you didn’t go to grad school and managed to land a 110k job vs 100k job (even tho ross grads make more on avg? hypothetically tho.) it would still take you 20 years to take that money back, probably more since you’re being taxed on that extra 10k you make.

[silent wren]

erm

honestly i regret not going with my cheaper option

umich it is

[feral plume]

is browns grade inflation real?

[cyan abyss]

you can literally make any class pass/fail even the hard ones so yes

[carmine nymph]

Anybody’s portal change?

[carmine nymph]

[noble plaza]

Set up ur brown email and then they are sending stuff starting mid June

[orchid bloom]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/1le4701/rescind_warning_letter/

Bruh I have 4bs as well they better not send me one of these

[wooden glen]

lowkey i feel like colleges r so strict w grades this year

princeton warned someone for a couple Bs as well

[orchid bloom]

I mean a warning is different from application reconsideration tho

[wooden glen]

yeah this is true

application reconsideration is insane icl

[orchid bloom]

bro i just got this application reconsideration as well

😡

[noble plaza]

Ur fine lol

[wooden glen]

wait fr?? LOL

what does it say

this is fucked up 😭 what the hell

[orchid bloom]

Bruh

[wooden glen]

i wonder if anyone will actually get rescinded over this

[orchid bloom]

I’m only scared because someone else got one that was just a warning

so application reconsideration is actually amongus

[wooden glen]

wait this is crazy 😭

[orchid bloom]

bruh no way people don’t have worse than 4 bs senior 2nd semester

[wooden glen]

there are definitely people with worse grades

i lowkey think they are actually aiming to rescind

i wonder if they overenrolled?

https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/1lkgvk4/comment/mzruv7b/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[orchid bloom]

they were the first school to take people off waitlist

if they overenrolled the admissions officers are stupid

• there are 200 less overall admits than usual this year off ed+rd

[wooden glen]

yeah that would be lowkey insane 😭 what the hell

[orchid bloom]

Bro you cannot be serious right now

[dapper oasis]

let's go to university of balls bro no more of this brown university bullshit

[wooden glen]

did u get any updates

[orchid bloom]

the first guy who got this says he got reinstated after 1 week

so my reply should be around this wednesday

[wooden glen]

damn

this is really scary 😭 hopefully it goes well

[orchid bloom]

i’m not scared i’m really more mad

[wooden glen]

weirdly enough their waitlist is still open and will be open until like mid july or some shit like that

[orchid bloom]

on skibidi it’s not because they overenrolled

they are trolling or something

[wooden glen]

yeah they are not overenrolled 🥀

well tbh they are known to be like the most strict of the ivys w grade-related rescindment tho so

[orchid bloom]

Did not know that

[orchid bloom]

this guy (dean) at admit day was raving about how beneficial browns pass/no credit and no gpa system is btw

[wooden glen]

LMFAOOOOOOO

[wooden glen]

brown n columbia 🥀

one year columbia underestimated the amount/quality of rd apps they got i think and so they sent warning letters to ED acceptances for a couple Bs even tho they got accepted w a couple Bs on their transcript

[orchid bloom]

but they are all warnings

i’ve never heard someone fr get rescinded for Bs

[wooden glen]

yeah this is true

a warning is still kinda crazy tho

[burnt geode]

damn brown is being sus amongus

My school hasnt said nothing about my two Cs yet

[wooden glen]

are u guys ok tho fr

[violet wren]

yeah I was low key looking into it yesterday

it’s not too bad on our side federal cut-wise but we just had a low endowment as a fall-back measure so we’re doing this

surprisingly other unis like Harvard, Stanford, and JHU seem to be struggling to larger degrees (grain of salt) as although they have endowment for fall-back, lots of it has restrictions so they’re doing pay freezes and millions in budget cuts and layoffs

[wooden glen]

yes i saw cornell was doing hiring freezes as well

its kind of insane like literally every top institution is getting fucked over rn

ik browns been struggling w money even before this though

[violet wren]

yeah thats true it’s a wombo combo for us

[violet wren]
