@goingnutsmom and @smokinact , thank you both for commenting! I agree it is a little strange that I love two schools that are so different but after extensive research and visits to both, I have found that they each fit me really well. I also am very lucky to have wonderful parents who are willing to pay the full price if I attend Brown. I know ED is a risk but I have a lot of schools on my list and would love to save the time and money of applying to all of them if at all possible. I also believe that while obviously Brown is a reach for anyone, I am qualified and have as good a chance as anyone of getting in, so because I love it I think it’s worth it. I really do wish I could visit Brown and Vanderbilt each one more time before ED but as I mentioned flying cross country is really not possible for me right now timewise.
