Brown University (2025-2026)

[idle cloak]

don’t include me in this bro, I am not a part of this brainrot lmao

just saying

Also @open radish i hope you get this sarcasm lol who am I to ban him

[open radish]

yeah we get it😭

[acoustic kernel]

anyone got an idea? I emalied the admission office but they didn't really help

[royal cloud]

no

LMAO

[royal cloud]

i couldnt tell that this was sarcasm

[acoustic kernel]

also for Columbia

yall help me i am losttt

[royal cloud]

columbia is "research with a faculty member or mentor in science, engineering or other academic disciplines (e.g., humanities, social sciences or languages)"

and you would submit your abstract and answer a few short questions on the circumstances of your research experience, the duration of your involvement, your specific role in and contributions to the project, and contact information of your research mentor

[vagrant tiger]

No

One of my friends apparently knows that guy

[royal cloud]

if you think your project is appropriate for this supplement then you can submit

[vagrant tiger]

💀 💀 💀

it’s not ragebait

[acoustic kernel]

no not through the common app, i meant on the portal

it says 'Upload Additional Information or Materials'

what kind of materials?

[royal cloud]

https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/process/supplementary-materials

[vagrant tiger]

also why did brown send me my portal (finally) SAYING MY DADS NAME, thank you for applying to brown

[royal cloud]

thats different, thats like if you have any major updates

[royal cloud]

your dad is applying

[acoustic kernel]

oh i guess i won't submit it then

[vagrant tiger]

Bro i have no idea wtf happened i checked my commonapp and it’s fine so ?????

[acoustic kernel]

does this apply to Brown?

this was their response

i guess my material wouldn’t be classified as "additional information" right? so do i not submit it?

[idle cloak]

You need to read a lot of news

[spark iris]

what is this

how do they have material from before I applied

[royal cloud]

that was sarcasm too

[gilded pivot]

BROO

[deft laurel]

has anyone gotten in submitting multiple hours past hte deadline?

[gilded pivot]

LMFAOO

[idle cloak]

😭😭you the goat

[icy holly]

have u not submitted yet?

[spark iris]

I submitted yesterday and got my portal so I think Im fine right

[icy holly]

yes if u get the portal ur def fine

i originally didnt submit the writing supplement and i didn't submit the video yesterday bc ive been sick but i just got an extension so they're def very chill about it

[light yew]

i emailed brown asking to change my common app future plans (cos i put the wrong one), and they replied (the pic)
should i submit a pdf(?) on the portal asking to make a change?

[little tartan]

do not ask. say “my future plans are XYZ”

but yes

[ashen wave]

bro the common app future plans don’t matter

[light yew]

😭

ok

[icy holly]

the future plans rlly don't matter lol

it's more of a like a data collection thing imo

[spark iris]

It actually does

If they dont match what major you applied its bad

I asked a Vanderbilt ao about this

[scarlet geyser]

If you put undecided for future plans is that bad?

[spark iris]

it doesnt help you but its not bad

if it matches your major

[scarlet geyser]

My major isn’t undecided

[spark iris]

Oh idk then

It should match your major

[sharp maple]

it's just not that simple

just put your actual future plans on there

[broken epoch]

yeah id assume so too but be fr who isnt trying to get a job in the field of their chosen major

[sharp maple]

do not cap on ur application bc you heard from another high schooler that they heard from one of the aos at another school that whatever

the people who can't grasp nuance and act weird / lie about that shit dont end up here

somehow even the class of 2029 was more socially adjusted than that

[ashen wave]

i applied as applied math econ and i think i put down some bullshit like historian

[spark iris]

one anecdote doesnt mean anything

an admissions officer still looks at your future plans and they ask why is this guy applying for x then

[ashen wave]

like i really think they care more about your actual credentials and essays and personalities than some arbitrary 20 character response that is not really a part of your app

that is because future plans change over time

[ashen wave]

with this logic, what a vanderbilt ao says might not hold for brown applications

[ashen wave]

wow

[sharp maple]

Logic does not work on them

Do not bother

[ashen wave]

PC ‘30

[sharp maple]

my friend just sent me a partiful for the 24th

[ashen wave]

bro

[sharp maple]

idk when is too soon
do we get to be happy when we get back to campus or nah

[ashen wave]

i literally got two particular for the 24

[ashen wave]

i have no idea

i don’t want to be a dick and o also want to move on

[sharp maple]

i hope so cause i have processed

[calm spear]

yo gng

is it too late to submit the video

[sharp maple]

but i dont feel like i be outside like that

[sharp maple]

if you can, do it

[tawdry cradle]

Gang do yall know if my video went thru late I should email and see?

i started upload like at 11:57 my time

and it uploaded and went thru at like 12:03

[sharp maple]

you are probably fine

email cant hurt i guess

[tawdry cradle]

I mean they said they won't watch it if its late

Cuz I'm intl, so not at est

So perhaps it's on time for them...?

[sharp maple]

perhaps

[idle cloak]

i see

I don’t think you understand brown’s academic culture or the open curriculum yet

[spark iris]

theres probably a grace period till the 12th

since theres an extension till the 12th for applications

[prime iris]

there is?

[spark iris]

Yeah

Actually I might be insane

I feel like I just saw someone on reddit say they got one

[prime iris]

in all likelihood they're capping

there is a grace period however

[cosmic epoch]

anyone facing the same issue as me my teachers' letters of recommendation wont show up on browns commonapp and portal

[stone dirge]

why do unis extend deadlines after i submit

they should do it like on jan 1 itself

[rare musk]

https://tenor.com/view/jerry-laughing-gif-3676435433606054883

u got me giggling in a mcdonalds

u silly little boy

keep it up my little jester

u little hooligan

[prime iris]

i presume the future plans section just has to be logically cohesive with the rest of your app

doesnt make sense for sm1 with 3x ioi gold and a swe internship @ google to want to be a future crime detective

[white ivy]

why havent i gotten ts portal email

[white ivy]

nvm

wow

js got it

[sharp maple]

what this guy said

your future plans are supposed to develop and change while you are in college, especially a college that prides itself on interdisciplinary learning
that is like the whole point
this is not intellectually complex 😭

[prime iris]

i wrote about doing thr 6 7 hand gesture for my joy essay

Do you guys think the aos will appreciate the creativity

🥹

[hot fern]

rrly? i wrote about shopping for new furry suits

brown '30

[spark iris]

I wrote mine about dragons

[rare musk]

[prime iris]

genius

[little tartan]

i wrote mine about snow

[stone dirge]

i did it at the end (and start) of my video

actions speak louder than words

[cold robin]

Guys

Are Brown decisions released on Ivy day or rolling?

[light yew]

imp retty sure ivy day

[idle cloak]

ivy day

[light yew]

thats weird lol, when u search it up on google, its AI says rolling decision. It's prolly because of this phrase on Brown website: "Once you have submitted your Common Application, you will receive access to your Brown Applicant Portal from us on a rolling basis."

[prime iris]

the google search ai is comically unreliable

which is insane given you can't turn it off

[little tartan]

You can turn it off by typing -ai at the end of your search

[hot fern]

ivy coach is crap

sincerely a student at a school they were talking shi about

[idle cloak]

why didn't you throw tomatoes at them

[hot fern]

[idle cloak]

fuhhhhh

[pastel jasper]

yooo thats peak

that was my second choice for it

[little tartan]

yeah i did like

snow days as a kid

trying to capture the feeling of being able to do anything

[pastel jasper]

aww yeah thats nice

[little tartan]

what did you do?

[pastel jasper]

iirc it was about math

[little tartan]

oh fire actually

[pastel jasper]

tyty

[little tartan]

i hate math but i do get sm joy when like

everything falls into place

[pastel jasper]

true yeah thats the best part

and when stuff cancels

as long as it doesnt cancel to like 3=3 or 1=0

[little tartan]

that’s equally peak because then you can just write identity or no solution

[idle cloak]

Just multiply by zero on both sides

Math is easy

[ashen wave]

Trust me don’t become a math major

[amber steeple]

Hey

[idle cloak]

Nah math is the real 🐐

Applied math is so cool istg

[prime iris]

divide by zero

invent wheel theory

[idle cloak]

when we fail to solve, we call it imaginary number

[prime iris]

now you're thinking like a mathematician

[idle cloak]

did you basically call me crazy

[prime iris]

no im calling you the next terrence tao

😔

[sharp maple]

Not at brown

[fiery pelican]

where do we send loci?

[rare musk]

normal math majors dont exist

[viral gyro]

for the video

I just saw some one Yt and I feel liek mine is so so bad

in comparison

I did zero edits or anything

it was just a video of me explaining one of their prompts about a book that changed how I think of things and gave me my love for spontaneity

but like I feel like other people's are so much more deep and better lol 😭

how heavily do they weigh the video?

[little tartan]

i didn't either

edit ^

[sharp maple]

It’s optional

[ashen wave]

Am i abnormal be honest

[sharp maple]

Look at urself

[rare musk]

ur apma in spirit ur normal

its like being a bio phd a sea of premeds

[ashen wave]

Um

[ashen wave]

Wow

That is really encouraging

thakn you

[sharp maple]

Look at ur soul

Do you feel like an npc

[ashen wave]

Nah

Im legendary

[sharp maple]

Exactly

[prime iris]

Computational ballet 🤑

[stone dirge]

does anyone get in without one

just curious
i submitted one anyways

[idle cloak]

Ofc

Some people are cracked enough to get in js with the ecs

but holistic is a thing also

[sharp maple]

It’s holistic

They say optional for a reason

If your shit ass its not gonna help your app

[sharp maple]

Idk I was too lazy to submit one personally

I wasn’t cracked but I knew what I was doing

[median rune]

Did u get in or are you still waiting for ur decision

[idle cloak]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[sharp maple]

I’m still waiting on my decision

I’m trying to transfer from Purdue

I am a 6’7” middle school basketball commit

[idle cloak]

Dear nyc prod design,

We were delighted by your application and the distinctive voice and curiosity you would bring to Brown. Although final decisions will be released later, the admission committee wanted to share its strong interest in your candidacy. You can expect a good news from us very soon. We hope you will continue to maintain your strong academics and consider Brown as a place where you would thrive academically and personally.

[median rune]

what

[idle cloak]

hes a junior at brown

[median rune]

oh my bad

[rare musk]

yes

[rare musk]

not enough to get people who should be accepted rejected

if your app bum shit then its not gonna change anything

its just another data point thats so inconsequential its literally optional

[median rune]

Hey y'all, brown just emailed me saying i could upload a video even tho the deadline technically passed

Any recommendations on the video (can be literally any advice from clothing to the topic)

[broken epoch]

oh i got it as well

i decided to not do it cuz i lowk didnt have much to add but if they extended the deadline maybe i should put smoething together

[idle cloak]

how many hours do we have

[tender vapor]

not a lot

[idle cloak]

let me lock in

[tender vapor]

r u competitive for brown tho

[tender vapor]

havent updated it

i m a senior

[idle cloak]

are you competitive for that role tho?

[tender vapor]

where r u from in asia btw

this reminds of a guy called karthik aryan

[idle cloak]

huh? who is this?

[tender vapor]

nvm

he's like p combs

[idle cloak]

you need to be better at online communication bro

[tender vapor]

[idle cloak]

this was kinda nice tho lol

[ashen wave]

the more you care about your video the less likely youll get in

Jk

[idle cloak]

that's why I didn't care to film it

we are going to brown

🔥

[rare musk]

nope speak up ur right

[idle cloak]

but i love the videos they post on youtube

it's fun seeing people's creativity

[light yew]

mine are just a few photos and me yapping

its so bad compared to the people who posted on yt

[hot fern]

same i lit put in like 3 photos so that they arent bored out of their minds watching

[amber steeple]

i feel like posting yours on youtube is a bit of self selection

yall will be okay i’m sure ur videos r goood

[main heart]

fr and liek when u see the yt vids and accepted or rejected it like almost makes it seem the video was most of the app like idk

[gilded pivot]

This

[onyx ferry]

JUST saw this, but yeah I'm holding up well

[abstract iron]

Hey yall just wondering

I got deferred ed and I’m looking back and my video was 2min instead of 90 sec

Do you think that played an influential role in why I wasn’t accepted?

Does it signal to them that I’m not that good at following instructions >_<

[rough ivy]

no, many ppl got deferred ed and the 90 sec thing is a new policy so i'm sure they didn't weight it heavily (if at all)

[mental copper]

Thinking like this won’t help you ngl I would bet that they probably really liked your application but maybe thought that there are other candidates as qualified that will apply in RD. If there was something that they outright did not like then they would have just rejected you probably. Deferred from Brown is still way better than the vast vast majority of us could do or will do

[rare musk]

bro

[abstract iron]

my fault gang

if anyone here is a student that was deferred/waitlisted -> accepted, do you have a LoCI I could read, perchance

[ornate ivy]

Is there a point submitting a brown video now
It gives me the option to still but like its gona be rushed

[idle cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/nike-just-do-it-jamcat-catjam-jam-gif-16876736714950479443

[grave pilot]

yes

matter of fact theyre letting ppl submit supplemental essays through february 1

[gilded pivot]

Bro

[grave pilot]

what

[idle cloak]

do you think they really care abt those applicants

[raw hatch]

that’s crazy where’d u hear this 👅

[grave pilot]

well someone in here has gotten accepted into brown submitting 11 days late so

[light yew]

BRUH

[raw hatch]

ik 😭😭 to be fair i haven’t done my video supplement yet so this is good news to me 🙏

[sharp tundra]

btw

does ts mean

we can submit new essays?

or fix previous ones?

[little tartan]

i think it means if you have submitted the application but not the writing supplement on common app you can still submit the writing supplement

[sharp tundra]

yea ik

but im asking if we can still fix essays if the deadline is not passed

[little tartan]

nah i doubt it

it is what it is

[sharp tundra]

fk

ic

[little tartan]

its time to accept your fate i fear, go have a fun senior year

[grave pilot]

if u already submitted no

if u hadnt submitted sure

[light yew]

hey why does it say supplemental material is uploaded so late? It says it recieved everything, but then i see 2 supplemental materials uploaded a week after due date (13th march). Huh????

what

OHHHH it may be my transcripts from other schools.

js minor heart attacks daily lol

[median rune]

Im trying to do this video and i finally got a good attempt and im watching it back..

Ugh my phone camera doesnt do me justice

[light orbit]

that's so fr it took me like 4 tries to just film my intro

[median rune]

It took me so many times bc i would mess up (lowk my final attempt i look tired since i was trying to figure this out for hours)

[limpid gorge]

hi. Would it be better to submit a full research paper rather than an abstract (for supplemental material), since they're giving us the option?

[stone dirge]

i feel like a full paper, which has the abstract anyways, would be more useful

[prime iris]

we are brown university
we carry the flamee

[crystal island]

any tips

for transfer? ;-

;-;

[amber steeple]

you have not even matriculated

[crystal island]

omg ur here

i need to calm down tbh

i just cant stop stressing

and its very likely ill need to transfer

[amber steeple]

deep breaths

[amber steeple]

yeah i understand

but lowkey worry about that once it comes

we worry far too much about things that are not in our control yet

[crystal island]

ya ur right

[bronze lance]

transferring to brown and rd hasn’t even come out yet 😭

[crystal island]

I didn’t apply RD

[bronze lance]

oh shoot

why not rd if u want to transfer here lol

[crystal island]

id need to do as transfer

[crystal island]

If anyone is at brown,
What’s campus life there ?

[errant galleon]

It's when you live on campus and interact with campus

[idle cloak]

help😭😭😭

[errant galleon]

I am happy to answer every question with the exact phrasing they are asked in!

[main heart]

lmaooo

[bronze lance]

does brown exist

or is it just a wavelength of color

idek what im saying atp

pretend i asked a funny question

[crystal island]

hi! can i ask u smtn

[prime iris]

brown is a social construct

from which all colors can be defined relative to its properties: non-brown, brownish, browny, brownie, brown-esque, quasi-brown

[little tartan]

whats the difference between brownish and browny

[prime iris]

brownish is slightly less brown than browny

[errant galleon]

yes sure!

[abstract iron]

submitting my brown letter of continued interest, can anyone help me find where to submit

theres an "upload supplementary material" area on my portal; should I upload it there or email it directly to the admissions team?

[hot fern]

do it through the portal

[abstract iron]

kk ty

[silent drum]

can i still do the video

[sharp tundra]

no idea

prob email them

they actually said u can submit videos after deadline

and they also changed? their sup essay deadline till feb 1

overcook=burn

[silent drum]

lol

i mean wdym tho u can cook up a great essay in like one day

soif ur essays were bad u can totally cahgne them

[prime iris]

the aos are NOT gonna double check those

[rare musk]

i would honestly

[rare musk]

which one

to see how bad it is

[sharp tundra]

Phil 1775 but wrote 1785

Cost 0100 but wrote 0510

First one might be alr

But idk how tf I typed 510

[rare musk]

brah i dont think cost 0510 even exists

if ur AO does a quick search ur cooked lol

[sharp tundra]

I wrote down the full name

But idk if it will help or not

[rare musk]

full name with wrong number lowk crazy LMAO

“no way this intro class is a 510”

[vital topaz]

does brown send out likelies?

[jade belfry]

yep

it’s mostly an ivy thing

all the ivies send them

[vital topaz]

oh 😭

[amber steeple]

well not really?

[amber steeple]

ur probably not getting one

it’s too rare to be something you hope to get

[errant galleon]

Crazy

[amber steeple]

i’m not gonna lie to bro

People keep on asking if these schools send likelies whole time they’re not getting one 😭🙏

[errant galleon]

Am I getting into Brown?? Please let me know

[errant galleon]

chanceme

[amber steeple]

!chanceme brown

Bruh

!chance brown

Kms

[errant galleon]

Not working

You have to chanceme manually

[gilded pivot]

Lmfao

[errant galleon]

Wait @amber steeple where do you go

[amber steeple]

yale

And i got a likely so it’s a little redundant that i tell ppl they’re not getting one

😭😭😭

[amber steeple]

But like noone gets them they’re such isolated incidents

And so particular

anyone whose hoping for one won’t get them. noone who got one wanted one

[errant galleon]

LMAO

[errant galleon]

nice

I'm a yale REA reject lmfao

[errant galleon]

I think it's only for some people

Competitive applicants or something that other schools might want, although I know schools communicate on these things too for some applicants

[gilded pivot]

The likelihood of someone getting a likely is low

[idle cloak]

bro i just want an acceptance bad why do you even want likely

Just want acceptance

[amber steeple]

it’s like a mixture of institutional priorities and trying to get students that other schools would want or get students who wouldn’t think that yale is a possibility

knowing your financial aid in february instead of march helps a lot when you want to compare aid offers

[amber steeple]

Rip

I would’ve applied to brown but too close to home

[gilded pivot]

Real

[amber steeple]

if i wasn’t from ri i prolly would’ve ED brown

[gilded pivot]

Wdym

[amber steeple]

yale gave me my aid offer in february

[gilded pivot]

Wow

[amber steeple]

So i knew i had a financially secure option to go to school no matter what

also they let me register for bdd early

[gilded pivot]

Lucky

[errant galleon]

Oh that's true

[errant galleon]

Yeah moving away from RI for college is not the worst idea

Yale and Brown are pretty similar most things considered

[gilded pivot]

Idk abt living in RI

@amber steeple how was ur time in RI

Is it boring as they say it is

[amber steeple]

i would agree

[amber steeple]

i mean my relationship with RI is weird

bc i’m not from providence and i didn’t go to high school in rhode island

[errant galleon]

are you from newport

naragansett

[errant galleon]

We're not as naked though

[little tartan]

hes not from newport i was horrified when he said he didnt go to school in pvd because i also thought newport

but no we are safe

[amber steeple]

i’m from real rhode island

[little tartan]

from the newporters

[amber steeple]

not that fake ass newport shit

wait i’m deleting that was doxx as fuck

i live near providence

[little tartan]

that city is the real ri i agree

but yeah

perhaps a ljttle dox

[amber steeple]

but i went to boarding school

and now i that i’m in college im not obligated to go home for the summer

so last summer might be the last one that i primarily spend in rhode island

atp i should start claiming connecticut

[little tartan]

EW

[errant galleon]

pawtucket?

[amber steeple]

yes

[little tartan]

are you also from RI

[errant galleon]

i am currently based in providence

but not from RI

[little tartan]

ah

[errant galleon]

although i've been to some places

[amber steeple]

funny way of saying i go to brown

[little tartan]

i didn’t expect most brown students to know random RI cities like that

[errant galleon]

I go to a small liberal arts college by the town of Providence

[errant galleon]

wdym

everyone here knows where pawtucket is since it's on the way to boston

[little tartan]

like i feel like they wouldn’t have a great grasp on geography

[little tartan]

ohh fair

cause of the pawtucket stop on the train or

[errant galleon]

most of us probably have the stops memorized

yeah

[little tartan]

pawtucket/central falls

haha

[errant galleon]

pawtucket/central falls

yep

hahahaha

[little tartan]

then its like south attleboro attleboro mansfield

uhhh

canton?

[errant galleon]

YES

canton junction

route 128

[little tartan]

readville hyde park

[errant galleon]

yessir

ruggles back bay and south station

[little tartan]

forest hills ruggles back bay boston south

[errant galleon]

forest hills / hyde park is only one way i think

hyde park is no longer a stop on way there

[little tartan]

yeah probably

they mostly franklin line now

and fairmount

[errant galleon]

yeah

[little tartan]

i need to go to providence again

[errant galleon]

are you in ri

[little tartan]

boston

[errant galleon]

the only thing better here is like

the food scene

[little tartan]

providence is just a vibe

[errant galleon]

not even by quality of food necessarily you just find some pretty interesting stuff for not that expensive

that's true

i spend a lot of time in boston so

i'm assuming you're in suburb

[little tartan]

ayyyy

i’m… in a weird place

[errant galleon]

hmmmm

you don't mean roslindale right

[little tartan]

like technically it is a suburb but it’s also a city

not rozzie no LOL

medford

[errant galleon]

cambridge?

oh okay

haven't been to medford or north overall

[little tartan]

so yeah it’s a suburb but maybe an inner suburb

is what i would call it

[errant galleon]

me when newton

[little tartan]

north is better than south but of course i’m biased

way more students up here

[errant galleon]

did you mean: andover

i love how i know all the rich suburbs for some reason

[little tartan]

😭

medford is not a rich suburb compared to the areas around it

[little tartan]

lexington, winchester, belmont

[errant galleon]

that's a lot better LMAO

there are barely non-rich suburbs

i lived in belmont for a while so

(3 months)

[little tartan]

well… everett, revere

i have some belmont knowledge

[errant galleon]

and how poor are they compared to rest of america

hmmmm

the part bordering cambridge, like at the edge of charles river or something

oh nvm

next to little pond

[little tartan]

below average

[errant galleon]

oh damn did not know this

wow

[little tartan]

lol i didn’t want to make you doxx

that’s cool though

[errant galleon]

oh i was temporarily residing there LMAO

not my house

[little tartan]

ahh

i have some friends who libe there

[errant galleon]

very awesome area

ideal for living

[little tartan]

dis you get an acorn park internship

[errant galleon]

what's that

[little tartan]

like the big development around alewife

[errant galleon]

no internship back then no internship now

[little tartan]

[errant galleon]

they need to stop lying to y'all

job market is fucked

we're all cooked

[little tartan]

i’m actually destined for 30k a yesr as a congressional aide

[errant galleon]

they're gonna take that away too

[silent drum]

do i gotta wear makeup in the video

[little tartan]

no

brown university does not judge applicants based upon facial appearance

[silent drum]

i sure hope so

[vital topaz]

yeah ong figured as much

[normal spire]

did people use the supplemental material option

on tbe portal

[crystal island]

ant transfer tips x

[little tartan]

i used it to send an update

i would probably not use it

just to put more though

[errant galleon]

untrue, why are people at brown 10/10 compared to harvard

harvard is a 5/10 compared to brown students

[gilded pivot]

Harvard ppl lowkey ugly

[idle cloak]

reason why I didn’t apply to harvard😎

[median rune]

Are upenn ppl also chopped?

[idle cloak]

If you want baddies go to penn state or asu

[gilded pivot]

A lot of penn ppl look pretty to me personally

[median rune]

UGH i didnt end up applying to penn

No baddies for me ig 😭

[dim sundial]

If you don't get in to Harvard they probs just thought you were too pretty for them

[gilded pivot]

Real

[stone dirge]

real

[sharp tundra]

nah

[sharp tundra]

fr

[half pumice]

does brown send likely letters I saw online that they do but js trying to double check. Also when would they start sending them out if they haven’t already

[amber steeple]

it doesn’t matter

mostly athletes

[fiery pelican]

is it too late to submit a loci for brown ed

[idle cloak]

just submit

[royal cloud]

dont worry about it

[royal cloud]

no

it will become later by the day

[steel field]

What is the midyear explanation option in the brown portal?

[shut rock]

If you don't have a midyear report to submit, like if you're homeschooled

[errant galleon]

Shame this chat is so dead :(

[mighty lance]

Did y’all send the LOCI those who got deferred?

[raven olive]

Yeah

[mighty lance]

When?

I lowkey am so cooked 😔

[raven olive]

Let me check

I have kind of given up hope

They likely deferred a lot more students this year and made a point of saying that deferred students get accepted rd the same rate as those who just applied rd in the decision letter

Ok I uploaded mine on Jan 26 which was a bit later than I would have liked/you are supposed to

[crystal island]

Hi! Anyon here a brown transfer

[little tartan]

hope you guys are staying warm

providence looks like its getting slammed

[strange current]

bruh im going to some mathj competition in brown on friday

roads r gonna be cooekd

[little tartan]

nah roads will be fine by friday

[amber steeple]

maybe not

we’re supposed to get like another 7 inches this week lol

o that’s next week never mind

[rare musk]

yo i met a guy who did this last year

he’s a ‘29 going to princeton now

i was like tabling while it was going on and was like yo

[strange current]

Oh nice

Our team is decent this time around so top 5 overall may be possible

Wait can multiple teams from same school do same division

If so then Lexington might just cook everyone in div a

[little tartan]

Lexington 💀

[strange current]

Them and westchester maybe

Although idk who graduated

[crystal island]

@rare musk do yk any transfers

[royal cloud]

yeah

[royal cloud]

yeah

[raven olive]

im having such bad anticipatory grief for this school bro

:(

[strange current]

is ur portal also stuck on deferral letter

i couldnt send them an application update so i sent an email, its been like 3 weeks with no reply 😭

wait im stupid

i thoght i clicked on the columbia channel

bc there was a notif

but brown is right above it and i clicked that instead

mb yall ignore wtv i was talking about

[raven olive]

LOL

[little tartan]

you actually didn’t meet the conditions for statistical inference because it was a voluntary response sample… either way i am sure you can appreciate that we don’t do it as a matter of principle not a matter of statistical significance

in the grand scheme of things we have 2.5 weeks until this result and after that you can live with the result for the ~80 years of your life so i’m sure you can make it

and if you really have to then it’s not like a2c is the only college platform out there

[idle cloak]

I don’t think I am ready for college level statistics or applied math yet

[viscid cape]

aint that hs level

[fluid venture]

me too 😭i lowk need to wipe all memory of my applied colleges from my mind until ivy day

i keep ruminating and doomscrolling so hard it's awful

[sweet oak]

huh

[idle cloak]

you said how many first

[sweet oak]

idr lmao

[steel bramble]

holy unc

[median rune]

anyone else worried they're going to get a whole bunch of rejections on ivy day?

[little tartan]

yeah i’m sweeping ivies

(rejections)

[gilded pivot]

Terrified

Honestly

8 straight rejections

It only takes one

[gilded pivot]

Real

[strange current]

Praying ts how it goes

Columbia or Cornell please 🙏 I need this

My colleges kinda prestigeless

[raven olive]

Brown PLEASEEE

Zero hope for rd after an ED deferral…

[little tartan]

they don’t defer that many

like compared to harvard or mit

[raven olive]

I’m pretty sure they deferred more this year to have a large applicant pool in RD because they may have anticipated a drop in applicants after the tragedy that happened

[little tartan]

hmm

most of my friends got rejected

one defer and one recruit

but also idk maybe ur right

[raven olive]

based on a2c results compared to last year it seems more likely that they deferred more but i could be wrong ofc

[sick shore]

thats not 😭

[astral bridge]

nah

that happened close to when it came out

dont make up random bs just from random reddit polls

unless u have verified proof it makes other ppl believe that and then proceed to spread to their friends or other ppl

which is what causes misconceptions

[rotund gust]

i do greatly appreciate the great community you guys have built and thats partly due to the rules. so sorry for violating them. i was mostly just kidding

[little tartan]

nah ur chill don’t worry about it

[carmine heron]

hello chat

[smoky wren]

when is brown coming out

[tribal geode]

March 26 at 7pm eastern

[crude tinsel]

is it cooked if no video

[little tartan]

not cooked but not great

i heard brown video is like the same % as yale interview

as in % of admitted students who did it

[crude tinsel]

ohh the thing is i felt like everything was alr cvered in my essays

i thought teh video would lowk js be repetitive

[little tartan]

i mean only thing we can do now is wait and see

could very well not have been necessary tbh

[crude tinsel]

valid

[little tartan]

but if anyone finds a wizard for brown admissions they should let me know frfr

🙏

i could hire an etsy witch

[strange current]

i just made my video everything i didnt talk about in my essay

but like lowk nothing to do with my major

its fine idrc

[tribal geode]

[light yew]

[fluid venture]

Brown specifically says not to use ai in any aspect of ur application

[light yew]
