<p>I didn't receive anything in the mail, so I'm wondering whether that's a good or a bad sign...</p>
<p>As I said, I was rejected. I'm also going to Berkeley.</p>
<p>Rejected but don't really care because I'm going to Columbiaa!!</p>
<p>I got a letter stating that "the high number of commitments from accepted students means that we will not be able to offer you a place in the class of 2012 at Brown." I'm not sure if this is a polite rejection or that they aren't taking more people off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Regardless, I am beyond happy about where I am going...Stanford '012!</p>
<p>That letter sounds as though they've closed the waitlist. So why haven't they reviewed all the files?</p>
<p>It works like this. After initial review of all waitlist files, admissions boxes all waitlist applicants into four categories:
1. Accepted (those who already received acceptance letters).
2. Encouraged to remain on the waitlist (some folks did receive "letters of intent" stating that, although their decision has not yet been made, admission staff believes they have high chances and are encouraged to hang on).
3. No action taken (the broadest category of people - no positive decision and no communication until about June 15).
4. Rejected (those who already received and/or will receive soon rejection letters).</p>
<p>I have heard that up to 80% of people in category 2 eventually get in (historically/statistically). Only very few people (about 1%) from category 3 get admitted.</p>
<p>How do you know this?</p>
<p>Doesn't what you're saying kinda contradict earlier posts saying that if you haven't recieved something yet, then your file hasn't been reviewed?</p>
<p>Rejected....it's ok though. I have closure now. NYU it is!!!!</p>
<p>does anyone who hasn't received anything from brown have any updates on the waiting list?</p>
<p>not really. As far as I know, they're still waiting on the responses from the first wave.</p>
<p>Manders:
Yes, it does. I think that assertion is baseless.</p>
<p>it's hard to search for this type of thing, but I want to know if the prediction I made back in post 94 was right:</p>
<p>well my year they announced may 9th and had decisions out the 16th. I'd imagine it would only take a week this year to. I would guess (with absolutely no reason to believe I'm right) that they will know a week from today if they are taking people (i.e. the 19th) and that by the 26th you will have decisions.</p>
<p>Anymore news on waitlist status?</p>
<p>For those accepted off waitlist, when was the deadline for your reply? Any round two would be after that date.</p>
<p>Our deadline was Tuesday, May 27.</p>
<p>Rejected</p>
<p>Just got back from my grad trip and saw the letter on my table. Kind of disappointed but hey whatever I'm going to Dartmouth!</p>
<p>I just called, and the lady said that they may start making more decisions this week, and they MAY be coming out on a rolling basis (she's not very certain about that). It is most likely that almost everyone will get the decisions by mid-June.</p>
<p>What exactly does rolling basis admissions mean? sorry if this is a stupid question xD</p>
<p>^^^ chameli1, it's not a stupid question. I didn't even know what it was until I came to CC. It pretty much means that they will make a decision and send it to you as soon as they reviewed your application.</p>
<p>This may explain it better:
How</a> Does “Rolling Admission” Work? - Ask The Dean</p>
<p>What is everyone's "decision" according to Brown</a> University Admission Decision ? Mine says "Admission decisions are currently unavailable." Any waitlisters have anything different, particularly those of you who already got your decisions?</p>
