That’s my point - what I said - you chose the schedule. So why panic? Nothing you can do.
As I noted - if you get turned down to Brown, you’ll assume it was because of this but you shouldn’t. It’s most likely you will get turned down to Brown regardless.
There are no dream schools - none. And there are tons of great schools.
One parent above gave an example that her student landed a top school. And you will too- tops for you - one that works for you, Brown or otherwise.x
Life is about decisions and challenges.
You made a decision and it’s great for you.
And if things don’t end up how you want (and they’re unlikely to because you’ve made the mistake of honing in on one very very difficult to get into school and nothing else) - but if things don’t end up how you want - guess what - you’ll pivot and find yourself in another great situation.
No reason to panic.
You made a decision. You’re living the decision.
And it will all work out great!!
This is not the first nor last time in life you might, with the ability to second guess, go back - but you have to move forward - it’s all you can do.
Best of luck.
