35 -- Oh my.

Please don’t think that the key to Brown acceptance are the words passion or joy in your essays. What Jim Miller has said numerous times is that he thinks it is an onerous burden on 17 year olds to demand that they have “passion” for something. He doesn’t want to scare away applicants who feel they lack a “passion” for something. So he uses the word “joy” – that he wants students who love doing something or love something enough that it brings them joy – that there is something they do that makes them happy.
