yes bro
did you mean during your last app day?
no video, did app on the last possible date
is what i think they're referring to
Lmfao goat
arrrhh
i wish they did ivy day on diff days
each ivy on a diff day rather than opening all at once
its like russian roulette but every single shot is loaded or something
i wouldve been happy if LACs spread out their decisions
8 on the 20th scares me
williams, amherst, swarthmore, tufts, bowdoin, colby, colgate, w&l
thanks mate u2
they tend to afaik
i feel like it would be better for most ppl
plus reduce stress
if these colleges did diff days
imagine getting one rejection a day for a month
yessir
pro
no idoc🥹 gun to my head
mama stop!!
idk i got it this morning out of the blue
did u get in early
im gonna get REJECTED
what?
huh does idoc really mean anything tho
esp for brown
cuz i thought its randomized
bro im just like
I don’t even know
in a predicament
People keep saying different things about whether idoc really matters or not it’s probably just portal astrology
But im lowkey going to end it
i think so many cracked ppl applying
that a lot of ppl
just get upset thinking
they should have got in
but atp just not enough spots
like im sure even the top 20% they rejected would do well at the school
it rlly just comes down to luck
yeah its just portal astrology dw
i hate my life bruh
i should not be tweaking out about brown idoc. whatever happens HAPPENS. Whatever
join brown esports.
server is open to prospective students if you want to chat too
im ok
thanks for the offer tho
im really not that good
neither is brown esports' mobile games LMAO
Brown RD Decision Date (aka Ivy Day)
<t:1774566000:F> in your local time zone
Idk if I should ping for these bc it’s not new info
Hi. I recieved an idoc request from brown a couple of days ago (i saw th cbfinaid portal), but it isn't reflecting in the brown portal.
for those who got idoc, does it show up on the brown portal asw?
stop. reading. into. it.
😛 fine
i got an idoc and i’m treating it as just brown wanting my financials
means nothing decision wise
i got an idoc from columbia in october
they ask everyone for them doe
and so does yale, just saying it's not really equivalent
but yeah, perhaps not reading into it is the right way
i just wonder, what makes them want "more" from an applicant in this case
so if u go to browns website
it says they won’t request for idoc if ur css provides enough
i see, thanks
perhaps my $15k efc crumbs on the CSS were more so "enough information" for them lmao
I didn't know Georgetown had idoc
Duke did that too
brownian motion
bruno the bear!
i should come to brown campus
yesssskingggg
WE are all pulling up
u can uber to my house
wow
Goddamn that’s it 😭
rhode island so small everyone you know is somehow in cranston at the same time
?
who dafaq is in cranston
ive a weird small world moment when i went to cranston
damn seeing that email shit just got real
yeah
honestly crazy
also anyone else who decided not to submit slideroom and hasnt gotten it removed from their checklist?
mine isn’t on the checklist but all of my financial documents now are
What email?
portal is closing
wdym
like ik theres a tab for financial aid stuff
yeah they just added to my checklist my parents federal tax returns and waived my federal tax
if u believe strongly enough that you will get in
you will
good point
guys just curious do u get notified on ur portal when they review ur video intro or nah
diabolical levels of astro
i was just wondering cuz i submitted it late on accident
no
did u get in anywhere?
hope u got into somewhere else
I got into cambridge!!
Thank you:)
dubs
Congrats!
the only remaining hope
same
hi
how does one get into brown
selling your soul
or someone else's
You have to be blue to subvert their expectations
Walk through the gates
brownies
brown plz
was the portal astro post on reddit bs or real?
bs
why does mine say received and his say reviewed tho
huh
mine says sumn different
oh was it inspect element
- you get accepted
- enroll
- go to campus
guys my mom said she has a good feeling about me getting into brown. where do i accept my offer?
when your head hits the pillow!
or tomorrow if you get in ofc
oh 💔
we pray for that
what did you apply
i see international and guy from Asia
i work at the department of good feelings so i'll put in a good word for you
as a fellow international
i applied for math 💔
ahh yes that works! we need all the international chanelling of good emotions
i thought brown doesnt admit by major?
applied math
you're still pitted against other applicants interested in the same fields
is the thing
RIP
oh welp
😭 is it that bad?
brown plize
i think the kneejerk reaction is possibly, but like it wont be the difference between u getting accepted or not
like half the school is apma theres enough space for u if they want u
Oh okay that's cool to know atleast!
hi
ivy
Y u commenting on every ivy
ivy
ivy day prep
What 😭
im anticipating the chaos
Oh😭
one of the most common concentrations here so
chances are you'll get pitted against some crazy good students, so chances are lower
lmao
less than 24 hours oh fuck no
SORRY ABBA
brown save me from this misery
yall theres nothing we can do atp except enjoy our lives
go watch a tv show or have a dance party
wishing my fellow applicants luck
Reminds me of a song
is this to avoid the risk of pooping your pants over the shock of an acceptance letter
Browning before = Brown acceptance letter due to the conservation of poop theory
dark yellow with a tinge of red
icl my parents were more happy i got in than i was
no sharts here
this MIGHT be portal astrology
those who poo before = getting in
wrong. this IS portal astrology
Yes i agree
?
Gl everyone 🙏
Gadies and lentleman, are we ready?
based I hope you get in
which song
would be hilarious if it was bucephalus bouncing ball or some crazy thing
they liked cat brainrot lmao
I put in night fever by The Bee Gees as a transition after I inserted a cassette tape into the radio cassette I fixed
was half betting on 80s music being reflective of the AO’s age bahah
no 
xtal
my fav one fr, I is also pretty good
selected ambient works is the bomb
i put in so much effort into my video its an entire cinematic in retro style
aphex is so diverse that two people can have totally different tastes and still say they like Aphex
thanks!
praying for you all, brown bunch 🙏

Yale (my fav) rejected

They take like 150 kids a year it says i was also waitlisted
MOOON SHINE!!!!!
HEEEYYYY
oh damn that's high
maybe i'll wait it out just to see

Congrats wow
I GOT INTO BROWN CORNELL YALE OH MY GODDDDD
OMG CONGRATSS
MY LIFE ISNT REAL IDK HOW TF IM CHOOSING 😭😭😭
wait what happened
i got WL brown
CONGRATULATIONS
THANK YOU SO MUCH
wait what about other ones :O
accepted cornell + columbia dual ba (yesterday), waitlisted princeton!
NY likes mee
@amber steeple “you take left i take right” ahh conversation
Where’s @wild obsidian cornell is still an option 🙂↕️🙂↕️
Yo idt I can even visit campus 😭
rule 1 is to continually shit on cornell for no reason
cornellians either laugh it off or get really mad for some reason
Cornell was my first top choice 😔😔
but now leaning towards yale or brown def
what major ?
does anyone know if brown allows a LOCI for waitlisted students
I’ll need to look into each school better tho
Env sci/ir double hopefully
i can’t find anything
Or smth along those lines
yale or brown lowk highkey
good job guys
im not too in the kjow on cornell but i have a suspicion purely on academics there might be more support, not to mention other like lifestyle factors
take it witha. grain of salt though
choose yale bro
yale is lowk the safer choice than brown icl brown can swing and miss really hard
so if ur not fs fs what topics u wanna do the small endowment can really screw u over
Hai
HII
the way they waitlisted me
WAITLISTED
I think so too!! Def gonna look into all my options though 🥹 might dm with questions later!!
im a lil more adjacent to the envs side of things so i can def help wiht that
chem and art history!
how yall do
congratsss
icl i took a nap all of ivy day and woke up like 2 hrs after decisions
yall care too much
where did u get in
take a wild guess
nope in hindsight i had no business applying to hyp
oh fairs
realistically i think i couldve had a decent shot at cornell and dartmouth
columbia i wasnt a fan of then even though i like nyc now so id maybe apply if i could rewind
I got in I’m actually crying 😭
that being said brown was my dream school anwyays
Rejected after deferred ED :(
This is me with Harvard
But it’s okkk
Grad school exists
Who punged me
wailisted what are the chabnces to get off
not bad actually
i dont think
browns generally pretty selective on the waitlist and deferral thing
p good chance
brown basically just rejects everyone
really! that gets my hopes up im praying
got waitlisted at brown 😿 do i got any chance of getting off?
Reeeeeeeejected
I put so much hope in brown and not even a waitlist 😭
Do I even stay on the waitlist idk
I’ve never been to brown is it all that
as much as i shit on brown because i go here
yes it is a great school
plus it only ever helps you to keep your options open
depending on where else you get into
just wondering should you write a letter of continued interest? and if so when?
is there mechanical engineering good?
Please someone tell me
wirhout getting into how loaded that term is, yeah
Congratulations to all admits! If you would like to interact with all current students/alumni feel free to join the Brown Esports discord :) for the link search online for Brown Esports and it's been posted on reddit many times!
Or you can just do (discordgg)/brownesports
@rare musk why are you not in that server

we need you back
and also because owl died
we have a team
and owcs is boring
yes
my ass is getting cooked in everything rn

you get me during the summer at best
i was not expecting that aid to be so low
oh what it used to be higher i guess
lowest endowment of all the ivies
😛
yeah, my coa is 32k while my princeton coa is 4k
as much as i am suspicious about princeton like cmon
maybe finess brown finaid if possible
if not dont go here lmao
join the community though
send me link
i think ill probably choose harvard or columbia
LMAO yeah fuck princeotn amirite
i feel like princeton will make me sad
princeton is a LOT of work
same with columbia tbh
but honestly harvard is more miserable than either of those
columbia is really cool to visit i just went to nyc but
sent in DM
tbh i dont think harvard is as directly miserable or anything
i have neutral to favorable opinions about the school
on some level its hard to argue with the funding behind harvard especially for niche disciplines which i cant say the same for brown
and while any school community is gonna be worse than browns harvard is no upenn
what is your major?
does anyone else have trouble accessing the self-service banner?
Mechanical engineering is that bad?
depends on the people you talk to i guess
from what i've seen it's pretty miserable
wait brown will lwk match ur aid tho
i’m biggest brown advocate idk
u can live in nyc all ur live providence is a beautiful city to experience 4 years in
bestie and irl got accepted into brown. i got waitlisted go BRUNONIAN NATION❤️
omg but cornell??
cornell made me so happy i didnt think i was getting in after ed deferral
i think i'll commit but i'm gonna appeal financial aid first. go BIG RED
went to their math competition twice and they still rejected me 😒😒😒
does anyone know if brown wants LOCI for waitlisted students?
i saw nothing on my portal
prob
anyone please
we literally answered u
thanks vkein for holding the brown chat down
I wrote a whole poem for my Joy essay and Brown rejected me 😔
😜 i'm too unique and quirky for brown
what was the joy essay
i forgot
dude you got hella acceptances
where did you get in again
i saw it earlier
but i forgot
congrats tho
harvard, princeton, brown, upenn, and columbia 💀
thank u thank uu
i didn't get into any ivy unfortunately
rejected Yale, Brown, Harvard, Cornell
waitlisted Princeton, UPenn, Columbia
Yale betrayed me 🥀
LOL
i wrote abt the opera for my joy essay..waitlisted
yale rejected me too which i wasnt surprised abt bc my interviewer lowk hated me
bro yale played with me for 5 months 🥀
i applied REA
got deferred
Wtff
Theyre such bums
😔
oww
yale…
going to see if i can appeal aid but otherwise yea i'm def committing
when i catch u….
Y*LE
girl wtf
this is actually crazy
congratulations holy shit
where r u gonna go
no bc why did u get like a 2 hour interview. u got accepted literally EVERYWHERE ELSE save cornell and dartmouth. and they didnt even waitlist u
Like ok mama....
LOL
i dont want to think about my yale interview anymore. like im cornellian
he can go ###.......
R U GONNA REPORT HIM
IS IT TOO LATE
r u thinking harvard or princeton?
IF ITS NOT I WILL.
i will never see him again i lowk have nothing to lose...and inshallah it's anonymous
omg i wonder if his daughter..
im thinking harvard rnnnnn but dont quote me
omg wait
i just realized that none of his kids are committed to ivies
and i AM...
my elitist air.......fight fire w fire
PERIOD
abba u will be the next harvard honey..'
OMG!
IM PUTTING MY SCORES IN MY BIO RN!
how even
is there any way to download the decision letter?
guys brown or georgia tech or umich for mechanical engineering
what do you want to do with your college experience
like obviously i wanna have fun but also get a good education
can u clarify?
like what do you want to do with your life
and why did you think college would be a good idea
these are ideally things you determine before applying to college
its ok if you dk yet though
big question im not really sure tbh
On my iPhone I selected printing and then chose to share or download to Files
It works just fine
If anyone knows any philosophy majors at Brown I’d appreciate them DMing me about it!
wdym where's the printing option?
do yk how to do it from the laptop
also congrats!!
Here
Thank you!!! Congrats to you as well :)
oooh okay thank u
thanks!!!
I think it’s done the same on a laptop you just have to print the page somehow
Yw! ;)
OH I SEE IT NOW
yes got it ty
AWESOME
just think in terms of college then
i ask because you can have fun and get an education at all three of those schools
so if you want to make a good decision for the next four years you will need to specify your values more than "get a good education and have fun"
Nobody answered me they just asked what's my major and nothing after that
guess
you're less likely to get it right this year versus last year
haha
am i allowed to post reddit links here
@carmine heron what are the rules on advertising brown esports again can i link a reddit post for it
I’ll allow it
thank you!
does anyone know when a loci for the waitlist should be submitted/uploaded & how?
is it ASAP or do the AO's kind of already have a rank in mind so it's OK to wait a week or so, even tho my confidence has been utterly destroyed 😭
ik actually deliberation/notification isn't released until may 15 & then after anyway...
hi love! so waitlists really have a lot of moving parts to them. one of them to remember is these institutions have things called institutional priorities where they are looking for certain things that are valuable and desired by the university. this could be geographically, major, etcetera! these universities will get an idea after may 1 what the yield looks like and probably evaluate what they need to do. ex. they maybe got nobody from minnesota to yield, but they have someone on the waitlist from minnesota, so they may get in.
there r so many parts of a waitlist, but ur job right now is to make sure brown knows u are interested and continuing with ur current academic stuff. u can submit it within a week, that should be fine, just make sure u make the deadline!
just write ts asap
i have zero knowledge on what they do up there in the Secret Lair but I doubt they have a ranking tbh
should it be submitted through the portal or an email to the AOs?
is there a place in the portal to submit it
there's a place to upload supplemental additional materials so should it be a document or ?
idk i uploaded the doc with my rea deferral onto their supplemental materials & got rejected
why'd you do that
i thought that was what i was supposed to do?
yk better than me on that one
i applied RD twelve days late
- i would ask admissions
- if they ghost you just send it as a supplemental and also email them with it
there is no downside
the waitlist is up nowadays
i found this online
on a waitlist thing from class of 2027
but this was 3 cycles ago
so take it with a grain of salt..
mm
bruno ni an
someone says "brunonian" its a dead giveaway they're currently undercover for the FBI
not even admin let the word "brunonian" escape their lips
oh pronouns here are not my actual lmfao
yeah they reuploaded this for co2030
this profile was literallysylviaplath like 2 cycles ago
fucker how am i supposed to guess then
i was in phil640 with you
you once came to our in house lounge
pretty narrowed down
AHA
640 was logic
OHHHHHHH
i'm pretty sure the reddit post should give me away
lowkey i didnt go to any 640 lectures at all
ohhh
cs
no clue yet tbh
hello best school
its so good ur not going
does the 2.4k include students admitted off the waitlist in 2029?
Don't think so
Does anyone have any Brown students YouTubers that they like to watch?
Has anyone got one?
https://www.brown.edu/undergraduate-programs/business-entrepreneurship-and-organizations-ab does anyone major in this? is it a good major
Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations (BEO) is a multidisciplinary concentration that provides a rigorous and synergistic program in the study of commercial activity grounded in economics, sociology and engineering.
- concentration
- it wouldn't be offered if it had no concentrators
- it's okay i wouldn't go to brown for it
- aren't you a sophomore?
Wait did I call brown concentrations as majors in my essay
Maybe that’s why I got rejected
(I’m coping so hard rn)
@limpid gorge 
eww they changed it
i liked their one last year
with the white gate folder design
idk what last years looked like but atleast they gave a pennant
All these schools with just docs & like 1 sticker are so boringgg
Just got mine
That's always been the classic since at least my year
But idk why they changed it it's so ugly
u can barely see the logo on the front
they went for a matte brown and the logo itself is barely visible if u don’t have light shining on it
is it true that brown calculates efc differently than other ivies and often causes the students to have a substantially higher efc than somewhere like darmouth for exampl
Yeah I think so
Cost at brown is usually higher
my brown aid package was substantially less than princeton and harvard for sure 😭
sounds about right
Brown RD?
66
96
3
Rejected
you cant even do this major anymore
it got split into business econ, organization studies, and the entrepreneurship certificate
ohh ok lol, ty
HOLY HELL BROWN REQUIRES AN 8 FOR IELTS?? First time I've seen that
its very rare i can ever tell someone is international
its basically impossible to tell
which is fair given other schools have had issues with students who aren’t fluent enough in english to learn properly
Yeah but an 8 is still shocking
Usually 7-7.5 yknow
no you can tell bro
Why do they call it concentration?
Feels very weird ngl
Because it’s more of a concentration of your focus than a speciality or designated career path
Cuz everyone's too happy
Might as well beg stanford to take you again
Brown better
Stanford is for 🌲
🟤
I agree
And why would I do that
Stanford rejected me I hate the tree
Yes
The more I read and watch about Brown the more I love it
Samee
After I was accepted i realised how good a fit it was for me
You’re also class of 2030?
That’s awesome
What will you concentrate in?
Yeahh
Something in bio probably
That’s cool, best of luck!
My main reason for turning down Stanford is its lack of a strong humanities culture
I’m going for philosophy!
But I’m most likely double-concentrating
Ahhh. I think academically they're just as good but you're totally right about the culture
Right
Startups and tech people
Yeah not for me 😭
😭
What else
Religious studies, physics or math
This is why I love Brown it’s bc I don’t know 😭
I’ll take some courses and find out
Soo reall
Brown is just as good for tech dude
And they don't deflate gradesss
Theyve expanded
Veryy broadd
Contrary to popular belief Stanford actually inflates grades aswell
What they don't have is p/np grades
Even so, I think what the school is known for does attract a certain demographic
Brown will be perfect for you
Ohh crazy
