<p>I’m an international from the Netherlands and I’m thinking about applying to Brown. Any internationals got admitted? What was your hook? I need (alot of) financial aid and I know Brown isn’t need-blind in their afmission. Could anyone help me with their insight and experience? Thanks alot ina dvance</p>

<p>wow I am soo rascist :D</p>

<p>why not apply to Yale… the amount of financial aid there …is amazing…</p>

<p>will have more and better responses</p>

<p>from my experience, brown was towards the top of my list, had a stellar interview, i thought that it was my best application of all colleges BUT was asking for fin aid and got rejected…so make sure that you have backups</p>

<p>i thought i had cracked my interview as well… in fact my interviewer called me the next day to chat and was VERY optimistic of my chances @ brown…</p>

<p>i got rejected</p>

<p>i’ve come to the conclusion that interviews for internationals are completely pointless and are only a sort of screening to weed out the real oddballs…</p>

<p>applying for finaid really screws your chances @ brown as has already been mentioned…</p>

6

<p>So nobody here got in with aid? Then where did you get accepted to?</p>

7

<p>i got accepted by princeton with aid… a need-blind uni.</p>

8

<p>i’d prefer princeton over Brown…
so what are your stats if you don’t mind posting them?</p>

<p>yo flame…ur interview was with KS as well??</p>

10

<p>nope… my interview was with AA</p>

11

<p>Who was your inetrview with adides? Mine was decent and I got in so not complaining…</p>

12

<p>watercannon… welcome aboard</p>

<p>u know who this is ( :</p>

13

<p>Btw any Indians going to Brown this year?</p>

14

<p>watercannon vs. flamethrower…Nice :)</p>

<p>interview was with KS @ worli sea face…thought interview went awesome, talked like 3-4 times after that…but outcome was negative…</p>

<p>congratulations on brown…i love tht school…its kinda diff. in its own way…i am more conservative (at least fiscally) than the average brown student, but still…cant beat tht environment…congrats once again…</p>

15

<p>Thanks… heard you got into Princeton which is as good if not better… Brown is different in its own way (the liberal curriculum etc) but you cant beat princeton either way… Congrats on that… Guess all three of us are going to great schools now… Though at this point I still don’t even know if I’ll end up at Brown…</p>

16

<p>

:eek: what are you contemplating about???</p>

17

<p>Waitlisted at Columbia… and my school counselor seems incredibly confident of getting me in (dont know why but if she does I wouldnt be complaining)… So between Brown and Columbia… What would you pick</p>

18

<p>i’d pick columbia but that is bcoz

  1. location, location, location (nyc, dude…cant beat that)
  2. I am interested in FE and some of the profs @ Columbia (Derman, etc.) are awesome
  3. FE —> wall street —> new york, ny ----> Columbia
  4. Did i mention NYC??? :)</p>

<p>but either way…you have two AWESOME options…</p>

19

<p>on a second thought…</p>

<p>it depends… i mean, i kinda know what i’d like to do (ofcourse, it can change)…and columbia has the FE program…</p>

<p>but

  • if i were undecided in terms of what i want to study or major in
  • want to do more than one major
  • be laid back
  • have nice chicks around
  • smoke up IN the quad</p>

<p>i’d have definitely opted for brown…so it is definitely what is good to me, might not be good to you…</p>

<p><strong>goes back to sleep</strong></p>
