Nervous
@parisgeller Half of the pages were needless anxiety caused by mysterious tabs, and Brown’s unexplained decision to call some applicants ahead of time (glitch or no glitch).
I wish brown just released their decisions when this “glitch” chaos all happened.
gosh so soon
Guys the Harvard EA people are doing a pledge to post their results/stats no matter what their decision tomorrow to prevent the results page from being skewed. Shall we try the same thing? Check out their thread to see what they’re doing. It’s a good idea for future applicants and for us!
Anyone else felt like simultaneously crying and exploding today?
guys srs stop stressing about this little stuff. everyone is gonna get the error unless u went to summer@brown probably. and the supplement box dissappeared for everyone. We get our decisions in less than a day so we should chill
@gralien Yes my supplemental upload thing disappeared today, even though it was there yesterday.
Yeah guys, don’t worry that you were not able to log into the housing website/questionnaire. The Summer@Brown program provides housing for applicants, so that’s why some people were probably able to log in:

I think my fingers are gonna be shaking too much for me to log into my account tomorrow!
Don’t worry. Not accepted by Brown ED just gives you more opportunities to apply for many other amazing schools.
yeahhh, its definitely cause they did summer @ brown… don’t think brown would make that big of a blunder
Cant believe we broke 100 pages and decisions aren’t even out yet
hahah im so proud of us all. feel like BROWN ED applicants this year were especially psycho. Gotta love it! Good luck to all of you tomorrow…Qué será será!
GUYS PLEASE READ:
Did anyone apply to Brown for the major of Portuguese & Brazilian Studies?
Tomorrow I find out whether or not I get into Brown University, and honestly, I’ve never been more anxious about something in my life. It’s not an active, combustive anxiety- it’s more corrosive, just lurking in the back of my mind. Lurking. Lurking. I can’t help but run through my head all the different scenarios of what will happen. If I get accepted, I will be free. If I get deferred, it’s basically like I’m getting rejected. And although I pretty much have resigned myself to the belief that I will be deferred (and hopefully not rejected, because that would just be straight-up shocking), I still am not mentally prepared for actually seeing that word printed on my Brown account at 5 PM tomorrow. Honestly, I’ve never felt more unprepared for something in my life. Not even AP Chemistry pop tests left me with this sort of black-hole of nagging self-doubt that has taken up residence in my brain, sneaking into all my mental processes no matter how hard I try to shove it away. No matter how much I tell myself that I will be happy at other schools- and I know, deep down, that I probably will be- the unsettling feeling that this is the end-all be-all of my 17 years of formal education remains.
To all my fellow applicants who are freaking out right now, I feel you. I wish you all good luck and apologize for this long and somewhat depressing (but hopefully relatable?) post- I just started to write this on the spur of the moment in the midst of an essay for AP Lang… I’m posting my results in the ED Class of 2021 Results Thread tomorrow no matter what, and I encourage you to do the same.
@khuie2017 most relatable post I think I’ve ever read. Thanks.
Wow, that was extremely well articulated, albeit depressing and totally relatable. Let’s all hope for the best!
@khuie2017 Those are legit my thoughts pasted onto college confidential. Good luck to you!
I just wanted to say, with this being my first experience applying to college and talking to other students about it, I was soo pleasantly surprised at how encouraging everyone is. I feel like everyone here is really smart, but also “normal” and extremely relatable. No student aimed to brag about his/her accomplishments or tried to put down others’ achievements. I know that this year’s applicant pool is extraordinary and no matter what happens, you are all qualified to get into a prestigious institution like Brown. Okay, that’s it. Thanks guys, you rock.
