2016 Fall Brown Transfer Waitlist

Brown Transfer Waitlisted Thread

@Hanshen Did you get waitlisted too?

Yes I did. Now struggling with the letter and debating whether to hand write that or email that

Can you change the title of the thread? I think “2016 Fall Brown Transfer Waitlist” may be easier for others to recognize and join

Have any of you replied yet? I don’t know if it’s better to just email or mail the letter?

I decided to email – I think it’s somewhat better for the message to get there faster.

Well I guess they’ll decide our space when admitted students confirm their spots. So I’m not sure if time is an issue cuz I want the letter to be polished…

Really not upset about this lol I only applied so that I could get a feel for the common app process, Im fine with Berkeley :slight_smile:

I feel you – but I don’t really believe that they’re looking for a long letter. What I took away from their waitlist letter was that they know all about you but just want to know where Brown stands for you, like what choice it is on your list.

@Hanshen I just checked my portal and they already took down the wait list letter, which means I think they took my email into consideration. I think I may send a letter as well just because!

@MikeSauce so are you staying on the wl?

@CudleWudles You got really decent SAT scores. Where did you get accepted to
