I've got my heart set on Brown and applied regular decision, but the waiting game is stressing me out. When do they announce regular decision results? Any advice on how to stay calm until then?
In general, Brown University releases its regular decision results towards the end of March. The specific dates can change slightly from year to year, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on Brown's admissions updates.
As for dealing with the nervousness as you wait, perhaps it helps to keep in mind that it's entirely normal to feel this way, and also remember that there's no further action you can take at this stage. Concentrate on your schoolwork and engage in your favorite activities to keep your mind distracted. There's often a sense of relief and liberation after submitting the application itself - use that to your advantage and rediscover hobbies or find new ones.
Finally, try to manage your expectations and develop a backup plan. Remember, where you study isn't the only determining factor of your future success. Hard work, a great attitude, and resilience are just as important. Keep those thoughts in mind and hopefully, the waiting phase becomes a little easier!
Good luck with your application, and try to enjoy this period of anticipation as much as possible!
