I hope that the fact that I’m genuinely enthusiastic about my course might help me along, and my essay wasn’t abysmal.
I’m 22 instead of 18, my secondary school grades were not as fantastic as they should have been for Brown, I’m an international who needs a lot of financial aid, my SAT math score was rather depressing and I’m overall not half as impressive as I should be.
Yes, Harvard and Dartmouth.
None!
To be honest I’m equally excited about Harvard, Dartmouth and Chicago - but that doesn’t mean the idea of Brown doesn’t thrill me. I just get excited rather easily.
I don’t think a single person ever tried.
Oh god, that email. I never expected it to mean anything, I just deleted it instantly because I thought it was rather cruel to send such a thing when most of us won’t get the chance to experience life at Brown - let alone life after Brown.
I’ll be too busy flailing and fainting. The only music to be heard that day will be the sound of me sobbing with gratitude.
