2008 Official Brown Waitlist Thread

<p>I don't think they're using that website now.</p>

<p>Darn. It was worth a shot.</p>

<p>thanks CatchAFallinStar for the info on rolling admissions; now i'm wondering if they've reviewed everyone's applications already, or if they are going in some specific order</p>

<p>I don't understand why there is rolling admissions. Isn't this done during the regular rounds of college applications? Doesn't the waitlist letter say if a spot becomes available, every waitlistee's file is reviewed? So why haven't all the files been reviewed?</p>

<p>skp, your doubts seem well justified. Given the limited number of spots available and the much larger pool of waitlist candidates, it is in Brown's best interest to take a look at all applications before making admission calls. I don't believe they go blindly one-by-one and make calls on the go without knowing what's still ahead of them.</p>

<p>I wonder if Brown still plans to follow its initial waitlist notification deadline of June 15.</p>

<p>Anyone heard anything recently?</p>

<p>I hope we find out this week, b/c after looking at last year's waitlist thread, this is the exact time everyone else ended up hearing.</p>

<p>Chameli, did you hear anything today?</p>

<p>nope, not yet..how about you?</p>

<p>Nothing. (10 char)</p>

<p>I called, and I was told that some letters were mailed out YESTERDAY!!!!! But I don't know if they are acceptances or rejections tho.</p>

<p>I called and gave them my name, and they said, "Applications are still under review, you will hear by the end of June." I got the feeling that they haven't even looked at my application yet. End of June? This is ridiculous. I know it will end in a rejection letter, anyway.</p>

<p>If they were mailed out yesterday, how long do you think they take to ship?</p>

<p>depends where you are, I'm pretty sure if you expect a week for delivery, it will come earlier than you expect</p>

<p>If it was an acceptance, I'm sure they have used an overnight courier. Therefore, if it's not in by today it doesn't seem like a good prognostic. Rejections probably went by regular mail and will arrive a coupe of days later.</p>

<p>rejected... good luck to those still on the list!!!!</p>

<p>^Where do you live? NE? [haven't heard anything in Georgia yet]</p>

<p>I live in New England. (it's dated June 9th btw)</p>

<p>a little upset, but oh well I still have Tufts!!!</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea how many spots are left?</p>

<p>I haven't posted in a long time. I tried staying away from this website since everytime I look at the waitlist thread, I either see bad news or I see something that says acceptances are going out, and then I'm disappointed when I don't get one. Argh! Obviously, I caved.</p>
