Pickson Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Judging from last year's results board, looks like Brown could be notifying end of this week or next. Anyone heard anything?
hedgerows Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I haven't heard anything, but just seeing this topic made my heart stop.
Silent_G Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I haven't heard anything, but just seeing this topic made my heart stop. Ditto.
Katy85 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Here's the vague information I got last week from the Brown admissions: "We expect admissions notifications to go out later this month and certainly no later than March 15. Applicants will receive email notification from the Graduate School informing them that a decision has been made and is available to view via the Embark online application system." This process is ridiculously agonizing.
Pickson Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks Katy! Sounds like I can't count on hearing this week.
Katy85 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 No problem! And yeah, unfortunately it looks like they won't be following the timeline they did last year - we'll see!
bdon19 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 I haven't heard anything, but just seeing this topic made my heart stop. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Even if I were to get an e-mail from Brown in the next few days, I think I might be too scared to open it...
Katy85 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 HOLY CRAP, I see Brown rejections on the board. No email yet for me though. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? <-- Freaking out.
HunkyDory Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) HOLY CRAP, I see Brown rejections on the board. No email yet for me though. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? <-- Freaking out. I just went online to check my status and it still says a decision has not been made. Code Kermit over here. Edited February 20, 2012 by dokkeynot
JoJo55 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I don't have an email yet either and my status hasn't updated on the application website. I was hoping this one would be merciful and the notifications would all come in at once.
athousandlemmings Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Ya they sent out the emails about 20 mins ago ... didn't get in, but wasn't expecting to and I already have a pretty good offer. Good luck everybody still waiting!
Katy85 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I don't have an email yet either and my status hasn't updated on the application website. I was hoping this one would be merciful and the notifications would all come in at once. Agreed. It looks like they usually do all go up in one day, so I think we can still hope for that. Of course this would happen on a day I have off from teaching high school, so I have less to distract me and will definitely be staring at my computer all day.
takethiswaltz Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I haven't received a rejection letter from Brown either! Hope this bodes well for everyone in the same situation.
Mr Grimwig Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Got an email. Accepted. CANNOT BELIEVE IT. DREAM PROGRAM. Going to go run down my street to get some of this energy off. ahembree, ComeBackZinc, 0000000000AAA and 2 others 4 1
Germaine123 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Got an email. Accepted. CANNOT BELIEVE IT. DREAM PROGRAM. Going to go run down my street to get some of this energy off. Congrats!!
Silent_G Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Congrats!! Still no decision made for me either...so anxious!
ekant Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 No decision for me yet either..... Oy vey, as my Jewish mother would say.
jma310 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 i haven't been able to login to my account for like 2 weeks now. and it used to work! no email though here either... also, note how many rejections were on the board from brown last year. they're definitely not done with their decisions. blah
Ategenos Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 No news is no news. Good news is good news.
bdon19 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I didn't get in. Not that I was expecting to, but I felt like my app for Brown was objectively the strongest. ...For some reason, though, my three acceptances came from what I thought were my weakest applications, so I guess I can't judge myself very accurately.
jma310 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 , bdon. Luckily you have some awesome options!! Did you get an email from Brown or you just randomly checked?
bdon19 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 , bdon. Luckily you have some awesome options!! Did you get an email from Brown or you just randomly checked? I got an e-mail that said something like "Brown University's Graduate School will never e-mail you directly. Go check your Embark account. You fail at life." ...or something like that...
crystalleem Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 How does this work? I've received no email and checked the status. It says, "A decision has not yet been made." Do they not let everyone know on the same day? Brown is a longshot for me, anyway, but I wish all these programs would be a little more consistent in their notifications.
