<p>I have a hard time believing that. I called Brown today, and they said that I still had a few weeks to send in any extra information and that the admissions teams were not about to check applications any time soon.</p>
<p>Perhaps they told Thomas this because he's a non-traditional student?</p>
<p>or maybe Thomas gets off leading us poor gullible kids astray. I'm shaking my fist at you Thomas, I will be the end of you. or maybe you're right.</p>
<p>We'll know soon enough! ^_^</p>
<p>Flipflop...you're right. Brown's transfer deadline was March 1, unless they extended it to April 1. I'm sure Brown has made their decisions on applicants that have complete files, but are giving incomplete files extra to send materials in. Because most of these schools received an enormous increase in applications this year, I don't think the admissions office is following any particular timeline...</p>
<p>ok i just called yale admissions office and asked and the exact answer was "we'll be sending them out in mid-may"</p>
<p>so i guess we can all calm down. either the admissions office is giving two different answers or thomas came across some wrong info.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don't take pleasure in making everyone upset or angry...I promise. I just thought I would pass along what they told me - whether or not you use that information is strictly up to you.</p>
<p>Maybe there are two tiers?</p>
<p>Since he is an "adult transfer", and we are "undergrad transfer"?</p>
<p>But still, that would make no sense..</p>
<p>why would they take priority of one versus the other?</p>
<p>I know some schools do, but not these. Let just wait and see...I bet you these schools will not be under their "reported" timeline. Just watch, I bet you all will receive something way before the middle of May...you can hold me fully accountable on my words.</p>
<p>I hope Brown's # stayed around 800...I liked that one in four chance...^____^</p>
<p>my personal opinion is that a number of people in these admissions offices only have the general info to go on (i.e. the "reported" timeline that Thomas referred to), and rather than ask someone within the office who specializes in the subject the question relates to, they give that pat answer to the student.</p>
<p>so basically we have no idea. isnt waiting for decisions fun?</p>
<p>thomas, did you apply to brown as a RUE?</p>
<p>whoknows...Yes.
However, they told me my decision came out the same time as the transfers, so that's what I was basing my info on.</p>
<p>truthfully, I sure its fairly easy to get conflicting information when speaking to someone in the admissions office. Who knows if we are talking with an admissions officer or a student doing a work-study program.</p>
<p>I think that northrams and Thomas are right on. As a student who has worked for both admissions and financial services at my school, there have been many times when decisions have been mailed out before the proposed deadline (I can only speak for freshmen admissions though). Nevertheless, I'm supposed to answer phone calls according to the proposed timeline.</p>
<p>Has anyone received any notification from the University of Chicago? Has anyone talked to an admissions officer about when the decisions are sent? I obsessively check my mailbox everyday hoping to hear. I'm expecting it to come this week...hopefully.</p>
<p>def. next week</p>
<p>So was the Brown 4/15 rumor true? Has anyone received notification?</p>
<p>If we are just talking decisions and not hard copies of letters...</p>
<p>Accepted:
UNC
NYU
WashU (on condition of my calc ii grade... but I'm not too worried about it)</p>
<p>Rejected:
Cornell</p>
<p>Pending:
UVA
Penn
Michigan</p>
<p>And of course... my top three choices are the three that are pending... but on a positive note, Cornell was near the bottom if it wasn't the bottom of my list... so I wasn't really even upset about that rejection aside from it kind of knocking my confidence/hope down a little bit when I was already kind of shaky about getting into the three pending schools...</p>
