Brown University Graduate School Admission Results

the plot thickens

What can I say...

Already know the result at the end of January when I wrote to PI in interest. The professor told me they're shrinking a substantial amount of positions available. I actually had a great chat and informal meeting with two of the professors, and (at least in my opinion) got a great background fit into their program. Anyway... at leats I've got other schools.

Applied for materials. Ouch. 2.5 years research experience in synthesis and polymer chemistry.

3a/2w/7r/2p, applied for both fiction + poetry, rejected for both

Social Psychology

No TOEFL, No GRE, no publication, 50% scholarship on tuition

2 research 1 public, 1 intern

Undergrad at UCSB; research for 10 months; recs were good; spent 5 days on essays, so a bit surprised

Brown is my top choice. If you have better offers, I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider declining sooner. This would allow me to also decline my other offers and fellowships earlier, helping others in the process!

Got an email to check portal. Very nice but generic rejection letter. Was expecting it, but a bit gutted anyway. (I applied for both the Fiction track and the Cross-Disciplinary track.)

9.08 CGPA at a Tier 3 University (India), 2 internships, 2.5yoe as a SWE. No GRE, publications or research experience

I knew it was coming, but it still hurt. 0a/1w/4r/2p
