I’ve heard that you’re fine as long as you’re not getting C’s or below, and even that may be an exaggeration. I’ve also heard that only things like breaking the law or high level discipline at school would get your offer rescinded. I’d ask the verified admissions officers over at r/ApplyingtoCollege, they’ll have a solid answer.

>Op doesn't have a brown email address bc they haven't gotten in (yet) that's kinda what i mean. op is still an applicant. as far as admissions is concerned, it won't hurt, but op needs to understand that directly emailing a bunch of professors for such a matter is inappropriate there are over 45,000 other applicants who also want to ask questions to professors. however, those professors sometimes have an upwards of 200 students under their belt, which is already a handful. add that to the department correspondence, university bulletins, and research related emails and you'd get the picture of how flooded their inboxes are

I did quiet housing my freshman year and loved it! I met all my friends there. I would say that the people who choose quiet housing are pretty mixed — many are fun-loving, casual party enjoying people who just want to go to bed at a decent hour while others are super studious pre-med types. Personally I am an early sleeper and early riser, so the 11pm curfew was great. If you are an introvert who likes peace and quiet, quiet housing is a godsend. If you’ll get annoyed because you can’t host 12 of your friends in your dorm room and blast music past midnight, then it’s probably not for you.

I’m a powerlifter at brown and I go to edge fitness in Cranston which is 4 miles away. Edge technically doesn’t allow chalk but I use it openly there and no one has ever given me trouble. It also has slightly nicer equipment than the Nelson. At the Nelson, they are a bit more strict, you can get away with using chalk if you do it discretely, but you also have to be careful about not dropping the weights too hard/slamming them as they are strict about that. Regardless I’ve found success lifting in both places so I wouldn’t worry too much.

I just got accepted during ED but I also did hint about my depression and suicidal ideation in my common app essay. But I made sure they weren’t that explicit and the majority of my essay was about recovering (in reality I still haven’t quite recovered, am still trying). So my guess is maybe mental health issues does ring a bell, but if you do it subtly you can get away with it? On another note, do you mind posting a link to the article? I’m interested in reading.

A liberal arts education is an education that covers several areas of knowledge. While most colleges have a core curriculum with requirements in different areas of knowledge that college has specified, Brown's open curriculum allows you to freely explore your interests without such specifications or requirements. Here's how Brown puts it: >Liberal Learning at Brown >What does it mean to be broadly educated? The first Western universities conceived of the liberal arts as seven distinct modes of thought, three based on language (grammar, rhetoric, and logic), and four on number (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). While this structure has changed over the centuries, the basic concept has endured. A modern liberal arts education is still defined in terms of a core curriculum comprised of several areas of knowledge. >At Brown, rather than specifying these areas, we challenge you to develop your own core. Our open curriculum ensures you great freedom in directing the course of your education, but it also expects you to remain open to people, ideas, and experiences that may be entirely new. By cultivating such openness, you will learn to make the most of the freedom you have, and to chart the broadest possible intellectual journey. >Each student's journey through the Brown curriculum is unique, and each semester of study constitutes a chapter in their own curricular narratives. https://www.brown.edu/academics/college/degree/curriculum So to answer your question, yes, Brown offers a liberal arts education, as long as you explore a broad range of topics and areas of knowledge

So sorry to hear about your rejection. I wouldn’t think too much about getting rejected vs getting deferred, since most applicants this year got rejected. Until last year, Brown used to deferred more ED applicants than they rejected. But this year they rejected 60% of applicants and only deferred 25%. Dean of Admissions Logan Powell said this about it: “we want to be clear with (rejected) students that we’re making the same decision now that we would be making in March. If we don’t see that there’s a path to admission now, as difficult as it may be, we still want to give them some clarity on their college options.” There’s no way for any of us to know whether your mention of depression was a factor in the decision. I find that Brown as a whole (especially the student body) is pretty understanding of mental illness. However, I can unfortunately imagine how a mention of suicidal ideation might worry AOs. Whether it’s Brown, Cornell, or any other school, the truth is of course that people do not want a student at their school to commit suicide. You said that the suicide hotline was just 1 sentence in your essay; if it’s not essential to the overall message, maybe you could consider removing that sentence. Calling a suicide hotline is nothing to be ashamed of and it’s terrible that you even have to consider removing the sentence because of the stigma. But at least if you remove it, you won’t be left wondering whether keeping it in might have affected your regular decision apps. Regarding your additional info I definitely think it’s fine to leave in the explanation that mental health caused your grades to dip. It’s better to talk about it than leave it unexplained. You can also talk about how you recovered and are in a better state now (I hope!) I think that sort of information (which is pretty common in applications) is not as likely to cause alarm among AOs than the mention of suicidal ideation. Wishing you all the best with your future apps!

I would’ve liked to see more structured feedback, even though it was pass fail. The feedback was mostly on development charts with certain categories that TAs would fill out. (OOP, Testing, etc) I would’ve preferred to keep autograder/gradescope as a quantitative benchmark, even if the grade didn’t matter. I’m also not sure if this was a problem exaggerated by how difficult it was to fail, or just the group project nature of the class, but in two of my groups there was one person who did not write a line of code/actively avoided work. It was definitely a course where you get what you put into it, given how flexible you could be with time you put in. Hourly commitment could range from 6-12 hrs/week.

Hi! I would caution that 1530 will almost certainly not be easier than 22, so if you're looking to take it for that reason, then I'd recommend 22. (To be honest, I think a lot of the panic surrounding 22 is a bit overblown—it's not an *easy* course, but if you take advantage of TA hours and give yourself enough time to do the homework such that you are able to develop good proofs, you'll do fine. The material itself is not super esoteric, and most people who don't like it are turned off by the mathy aspect of the course. Plus, I know some of the TAs next semester, and they're *awesome*.) I took Abstract Algebra and it was the one of the most difficult courses I've taken, and not something that I'd recommend taking as a way to get out of 22. This of course was just my personal experience, and it depends on the professor to some extent (I had a professor who gave tests that were harder than average), but definitely don't go into Abstract Algebra thinking it'll be easier than 22. It for sure won't be easier, could likely be harder, and there's a lot less TA support because the math department is smaller. However, I will say that I found the material covered in 1530 super interesting.

https://old.reddit.com/r/BrownU/comments/ruu7xj/questions_on_cs_32_fall_2021/hr45zh1/

I took CS32 last semester (Fall 2021) Honestly, it was wonderful as an S/NC class. In terms of hourly commitment, there's a clause in the syllabus stating that the recommended amount of work is 12hr/week, and that working more than 18hr/week is *forbidden* (if you reach 18hrs, you're supposed to contact the TAs and let them know that the rest of your work is simply not going to be completed, and that's okay). I ended up working for roughly the recommended 12hrs per week. I felt like I got a lot out of the course: It helped me fundamentally understand Java and how web development with React worked, which I didn't know before, and also helped me with understanding the dynamics of software engineering. I did a lot of task-delegation in the final project, and without the experience I gained in the first two projects, I wouldn't have been able to effectively lead my group the way I did. (e.g. in the first project, we gave one group-member the task of testing everyone else's code: we later realized that it's much easier for each individual to write unit tests for their own code, which is what I did on later projects). The prof (Tim Nelson) was very understanding and sensitive to mental health concerns and student wellbeing, and since the course was S/NC it allowed for greater focus on learning the software engineering process, rather than a rush to complete the projects to a 100% bug-free state Overall, I would absolutely recommend the class if you're a CS concentrator or planning on working in a software-engineering context in the future. If the class is offered as A/B/C instead of mandatory S/NC, I would still recommend taking it S/NC.

We are most definitely still active. There are around 25 people at most practices. We meet three days per week and it’s a great time regardless of your experience level. I help teach striking and would be happy to answer any questions you have about the club if you want to DM me.

yes! we are! It's honestly pretty active, but any social media or page is definitely not being used or updated :P but once you arrive, you should see us at the activities fair if you're still interested by the time you show up in the fall!

I can't say for requirements, but 300 is a excellent course. Malte is awesome.

I'm taking 30 in the spring as well, and also assume this is the case, though the [course website is a little vague](http://cs.brown.edu/courses/csci0300/2021/faq.html) (in that it seems to stress that course descriptions should reflect it).

They are interchangeable, any course which requires 33 but doesn't count 30 is outdated AFAIK.

I know this is an old post, but I was deciding between Brown and Georgia Tech and haven't had any regrets. Brown has so much freedom and flexibility while also having, in my opinion, a strong engineering program. Mines is great, but no one has ever regretted Brown.

People at Brown have literally been the friendliest people I've ever met. Just go to every activity you can during orientation. Very few people come to Brown already knowing people, so realizing that everyone else knows no one and wants to meet people and make friends is really encouraging. Also meet people on your hall. I met one of my best friends when he knocked on my door and asked if he could do registration with my roommate and I. And this is all coming from someone who is very bad at meeting new people. Everyone is nice and you'll be fine, welcome to Brown :)

Perhaps try out / learn a bit of LaTeX now if you don’t have experience with it. It will be useful for 22 and you could possibly use it in 1530.

Oh for sure. Abstract algebra definitely interests me but I guess my biggest goal here is to mitigate the difficulty of my Spring schedule (I'd be taking 22/1530 in addition to an APMA and another CS class). Do you have any advice for doing well in 22? I'm also considering just taking it S/NC.

Does abstract algebra interest you? In my opinion 1530 is more difficult than cs 22 and gets to far more complicated theoretical topics. If, however, you are interested in abstract you might enjoy the class more than 22 where there are a variety of subjects covered, only some of which overlap with 1530.

I found both courses to be about the same difficulty but took 1530 2 years after 22, so I had more experience heading into 1530. I don’t think it would be worthwhile to take 1530 instead unless you are interested in higher level math. Both classes are proof heavy but 22 probably expects less math experience (you spend a lot of time on set theory which is done in about 1 week in 1530)

Definitely try to appeal with the financial aid office, and make it clear that $57k/year is significantly more than you can afford without shooting yourself in the foot financially. Coming out of college with $100k+ in student loans is horrible. I assume you were admitted ED, but IIRC it’s possible to get out of it if attending isn’t financially viable. That’s definitely a worst-case scenario, but if another school will be significantly cheaper, my opinion as a Brown student is that going here isn’t worth a hugely detrimental amount in loans. Trying to get anything more than $10-20k in outside scholarships seems pretty much impossible to me, and it would already be an amazing stroke of luck to get that much. I wish you the best of luck figuring this out; let me know if there’s any more input you want from me! I receive significant financial aid here and I’ve talked to many other students about it, so I’m somewhat familiar with things. Again, appealing to the financial aid office is your best bet. Earlier is almost certainly better, because as time goes on they will allot more aid to future admits and will likely begin to be more stingy.

>outside scholarships can only replace my summer work/job responsibilities This is standard practice as far as I know. For example, [here is Yale's policy](https://finaid.yale.edu/costs-affordability/types-aid/scholarships-and-grants). I was a RD admit a couple years ago and I've compared FA offers from several schools. Brown's offer was initially lower than my best offer by a couple thousand because of home equity. I'm assuming since Brown has eliminated the consideration of a family’s home equity as an asset when calculating a student’s available financial resources, nowadays Brown's offer should be quite close to offers by other schools. >are there any other options If your mother/sister couldn't get FA from grad schools, the money your family has is supposed to go to you first .... that's also standard practice and they're supposed to get loans. You can't expect any school to take care of their grad school tuition.
