<p>Girigirl and spinachlover....Im sorry if your little brains cant grasp what I was trying to say...its no reason to trash my chances of getting in. I was just trying to help. I dont see you trying to think things up. "Insight" only works when you are a FedEx.com member/ user. </p>

<p>Girigirl and Spinachlover...Just stop being mad at the world and realize that after admission process is over, regardless if you got in or not, you are still RETARDS. We are all in the same boat here and are trying to help eachother out. </p>

<p>Anyway, did anyone hear any updates?</p>

222

<p>Dear Petya, your explanations sound more-or-less as follows: "Nothing I was able to come up with worked, but I think I'm still very smart". And, btw, seems it is you who gets easily angry calling others 'retards'. Good luck with such attitude :O</p>

223

<p>Thanks and good luck to you too</p>

224

<p>Spinachlover and Girigirl...Im sorry about the comment I made about you guys. I hope you were not hurt by anything I wrote. I guess this is a very streesful time for all of us. Again, Im sorry. </p>

<p>and about the Fedex.com thing.... you have to have an account number (which you will get when you sign up as a user and provide credit card info).
you need to go to "Insight" and they will ask you for your account number and address to which the letter is sent ( your address). It will take 3 days to confirm your request. You can also call the 1 800 number. good luck</p>

225

<p>Petya555: Bravo! You demonstrate the maturity and ingenuity that will carry you far in life. Best of luck wherever you end up in school.</p>

226

<p>Are there more acceptances than rejections, usually, in the first round?</p>

227

<p>So did anyone get anything in the mail?</p>

228

<p>If Brown used fedex for decisions on Friday, the decisions would not arrive until Tuesday because of Memorial Day.</p>

229

<p>OK I am becoming increasingly nervous that there is little hope for waitlisters...if I end up deciding to transfer, would it be a good idea to retake SAT and SAT II's in college (I didn't do so well on my first try)?</p>

230

<p>I called and they said if you didn't receive anything, it means they haven't reviewed your file yet.</p>

231

<p>I thought they review all files when accepting/rejecting????????</p>

<p>A friend of mine was just rejected, so rejection letters are definitely out.</p>

232

<p>I called too, and they said that they're not done reviewing all waitlisted applications???</p>

233

<p>Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think I understand what skp is saying. Do you mean that even if they don't decide to reject or accept you, then they'll still send you something saying that they're keeping you on the list? That theory fits with what you're saying about everyone being contacted if Brown has reviewed the application.</p>

234

<p>I got my rejection letter in the mail today.</p>

235

<p>Ditto (10char)</p>

236

<p>same. :( I will get to work on transferring.</p>

237

<p>Rejection!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I will try to transfer.</p>

238

<p>Really? Wow, I didn't get anything. Gosh I hope it's not a rejection letter coming for me next!</p>

<p>To nhsharvard: I thought your regional rep said that your letter contains good and bad news?</p>

239

<p>rejected... oh well, i'm going to berkeley!</p>

240

<p>rejected brown
accepted harvard</p>

<p>its a crap shoot guys
dont think too much about it
i thought brown was a realistic possibility for me, not harvard
but who knows how this admissions stuff works</p>
