I'm looking at the whole situation in a realist point of view. My chances are small, so I'm prepared for the worst come December 15th... Which is really just making the next few weeks absolutely miserable, but oh well.

If I get accepted I'll go wild. If I get rejected or deferred I'll be disheartened and finish up RD apps elsewhere. It's going to be the very first cold winter in Miami for me if it comes down to that.

I would strongly advise everyone to finish up most if not all their RD apps now. It's very hard to do a good job on it if you are feeling low after being denied. Do it now, and you won't begrudge the time if you have a good outcome and withdraw all your apps, because you'll be so happy, and you won't begrudge the time if you have a defer or deny, you'll be happy you got it out of the way.

(and walking the talk, I have encouraged my daughter to send in 7 of her 9 apps already - she only has 2 left if she is deferred or denied at her early school)

All I have left are supplements at this point, which are filling out more informational responses and then the obligatory "Why this school?" short answer response. I'm working on a few now, but I won't be totally finished by the time the response rolls around.

Well... I applied ED to PLME (but not Brown)...

anyways, their site says it has everything but my english teacher's 4A recommendation form, and he sent it in 4 weeks ago, so I'm kinda worried. I called them twice (2 weeks ago and last week), and they were like "Don't worry about it, we're still processing mail." So I'm kind of worried. Plus I haven't gotten any correspondence about interviews... Eeek!

My parents' friend's friend's daughter (I know... indian ppl networking :roll: ) graduated from PLME and I talked to her earlier tonight. She made me feel better about my decision to apply to Brown (or PLME rather) ED, but I'm still kind of worried about whether I'll get in. I'll easily be the happiest person in Ohio on December 15th if I do get in.

Good Luck everyone!

I have loved Brown since my sophomore year and now that I have completed all of my standarized tests and gotten my rank and handed in my application, I realize that I should really be looking for a rejection....I would actually be surprised if I get a deferral...I almost feel like I wasted all this time working my a** off for a school that was always out of my reach, only now its really obvious

anyways, GL to everyone!

wow..it's amazing how everyone's going through the same post-application phase as me. I feel like there's no way I'm getting in, there's thousands of ppl just like me, why would they choose me...etc etc.

Krishfish, I emailed Brown because my part II didn't appear on the status thing and they gave me the same response they gave you and mine appeared eventually. But if your teacher sent your rec in 4 weeks ago, that seems like an awfully long time...

And for those who applied to PLME, what other combined program applications are you working on now?

I don't know if this helps, crzy, but I think we are all in your boat. Or at least, most of us are (and the rest are just unwilling to admit that).

Hey, count me in! I am an internatioanl applicant. I am also so worried these days about my application. The good news is that all my documents have arrived yet.
But something horrible occured yesterday...... My interviewer did not show up and I waited for about 3 hours. Her cellphone is still powered off now. btw, I haven't got any reply from her either a call or an email since 10 days ago....

I haven't gotten called for an interview yet and I sent in my application Oct 24th...is that bad?

I applied for PLME and now I am working on the Rice/Baylor med program, the REMS for Rochester and Sophie Davis. My parents are making me do Sophie Davis. I don't really like it and the people that I talked to that were in it aren't very happy there.

I applied ED to Brown because of Isabella.

My interview is in 100 minutes exactly. I'm excited.
