First thing first, did Brown admit you in RD (you said “deferred-dinged”)? want to gauge your chance there…

Just want to relay something I heard from a Brown alumni back in April during “Brown in your town” event. This sounds even better, you could opt for Pass/fail (Brown’s term “Satisfactory/No Credit”) for ALL your courses. The alumni said she knew she wanted to be a rabbi, so she checked with the church (her employer) to make sure S/NC was ok and she took all her courses S/NC. Her son is attending Brown this Fall. Taking all courses S/NC is a bit extreme, but you get the point…

Brown’s Meiklejohn peer advisors provide first-year students with an informed student perspective on Brown’s curricular options. Some super popular courses are filled up early, some small-sized courses are go by lottery pick, but I think one can take any course they like if they are available.

Brown students are among the happiest ones for good reasons, not to mention the convenience of shops/restaurants/bars on Thayer street right at the center of the campus where one can safely hang out late at night.
