<p>Today March 31st, a big envelope from Brown’s admission office just landed in our maibox.
Daughter is at school until 2:27pm and does not have cell phone.
I will not open the envelope myself.
Still, has anybody else in Rhode Island or Southern Mass received a big envelope from Brown today???</p>
<p>Lol already? Congrats to your D :D</p>
<p>Oh my god. Congratulations!!! -swells with envy-</p>
<p>Well does it say congratulations or anything on the outside??? She must be in or it wouldn’t be a package - it would just be a letter. Congrats to your family.</p>
<p>congratulations ^^</p>
<p>I got the small rejection envelope today, so yours is definitely an acceptance- congrats!</p>
<p>I want my big package >< lol</p>
<p>Tealberry - where are you located??</p>
<p>I’m in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>AVos,
You made me laugh…you’re just like me…I would never open her mail, but I would be so excited and dying to know. I would also say 2:27 instead of 2:30. I think it is a very good sign for your daughter. This process is so hard, it was great to feel your excitement…congrats and bravo for not opening her letter…I know how hard it is!</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!!
I did not open the envelope:-)
Her sister and I drove to the school and found her in the lunch room. <em>She</em> opened the envelope (which had no special message on the outside).
No fridge magnet in this one, but a nice decal.</p>
<p>Congratulations :)</p>
<p>Avos, </p>
<p>I would drive to school too! You are just like me. I am smiling! Is Brown her #1? You probably ruined her chance of getting any work done at school, but who cares…she got into Brown!</p>
<p>Do you live in Rhode Island?</p>
<p>OK, congrats to all - who is going to be the first on “accepted” RD thread - LOL!!!</p>
<p>Yes we live in Rhode Island.
Brown was not her nbr 1, more like an afterthought to add a “real reach” school. So, she never really looked at the Brown (if you live in RI, you just assume that you know enough;-) and she knows a lot more about Middlebury, Smith, MHC and Wellesley.
Financial aid might make the difference.</p>
<p>I GOT IN!!! I was so confused and surprised when I saw the letter, and I was holding a million things as I picked up the mail, and I was dropping everything in an attempt to open the letter and then I ran into my house and my cleaning ladies were there and there were cords everywhere and they were in the room where I usually put down my stuff so I ran into my kitchen and just dropped everything onto the floor, picked up the envelope, took a deep breath…</p>
<p>SOOOOO EXCITED!!! It’s definitely one of my top 3 schools, and I could totally see myself ending up there! I’m SO excited!!!</p>
<p>One question for accepted students: did you all get a few lines in your acceptance letter specific to you / your interests? There were a few sentences like “we feel that the school is a perfect match for your interest in mathematics” etc. and I’m just curious to know if everyone had a similar thing, or if some applicants just got a generic letter.</p>
<p>Congrats to all!!!</p>
<p>i’ve also been accepted.</p>
<p>words can’t express how excited i am, lol.</p>
<p>tlowell91: did your letter have a few personalized sentences?</p>
<p>Loved the driving to school with the sibling - you just created a lifetime memory!!</p>
