<p>…uhhh… back to the OP</p>

<p>If you want to go to Brown, apply ED. But if you don’t want to go there, don’t apply ED, because it’s very likely you’ll be stuck come December.</p>

22

<p>Applying ED, using your own definition, I’d actually say OP is a match. I agree that no one can assure anybody of a Brown acceptance.</p>

<p>legacy my boy will take you a long way…!!</p>

24

<p>Good stats + ed + legacy = great chance of being admitted anywhere</p>

25

<p>Does legacy really make that huge a difference?</p>

<p>I wish my parents studied at Brown :(</p>

26

<p>tetrisfan: Legacy is a boost. It definitely helps. But it does NOT turn Brown into a match or safety for ANYONE. </p>

<p>I’ll repeat and elaborate on what I said here before: Being a legacy and applying ED is NOT a guaranteed admission. I know double legacy applicants with excellent records who did not get in ED. I know legacies whose parents volunteered a lot for Brown and gave large donations every year who were rejected. Overall, 65% of legacy applicants do NOT get accepted into Brown. Anyone who thinks that a 35% acceptance rate is a sure thing is not accepting reality. </p>

<p>But yes, 35% is significantly higher than the 10 percent overall acceptance rate.</p>

27

<p>What was the overall ED acceptance rate for the class of 2013?</p>

<p>Hmmm…you remind me of myself
Good EC’s, glad to see a fellow photographer/soccer player/summer intern
You know if I didn’t know better, I would have thought that you were me.
Although unlike me, you do have legacy, that helps a bit.
I would say ED you’re in. RD might be a bit of a long shot</p>

<p>“This depends on what match means.”</p>

<p>How about:</p>

<p>Reach < 5% chance
Match 50/50 chance
Safety > 95% chance</p>

<p>Then add high or low to show gradations. Just an idea. :)</p>
