<p>Has anyone received an email from Brown regarding their application(not one asking for missing forms or paperwork)?</p>

<p>My D got one today which reads like they’re not sure about her and want to wait until they’ve read all the applications. <shakes head=""> It’s tough trying to get a feel for these things as even the slightest minutiae has me looking for meaning. I’d copy and paste the content for opinions but I’m not sure what the etiquette is for sharing an email of this type.</shakes></p>

<p>I did and it’s left me so confused… it reads a bit like a deferral or rejection letter. Any ideas?</p>

3

<p>I got an email today as well. I took it to be pretty neutral though.</p>

4

<p>Yeah “So, please be assured that we spend a great deal of time reading, thinking and talking about you between now and the end of March,” what does this mean?</p>

5

<p>Yup, my D got one as well. </p>

<p>**"… we are looking always for reasons to offer you admission - not for reasons to say no." **</p>

<p>Wonder if this is just a bulk email that we are all reading too much into.</p>

<p>Interesting – not sure I’ve heard of a mid-season email like this. If many people got it, it might just be a way to touch base with applicants. If someone would post the contents, we can all parse it together.</p>

7

<p>Sounds like the same contents. Hopefully it’s a generic application status email. But I’ll agree, there are some mixed messages floating around in it . . .</p>

8

<p>I did as well.</p>

9

<p>My D got one as well.</p>

10

<p>I think it’s just a generic e-mail to all applicants.</p>

11

<p>Many seem to have received the same email. Can anyone post here if they are a regular decision Brown applicant who did not receive the email?</p>

12

<p>I got it. Pretty sure I got it last year when I applied, too.</p>

13

<p>I got this email an hour ago as well I think it is a standard email to all RD applicants it doesn’t really seem to indicate anything.</p>

14

<p>Funny to read the different reactions! I got this email today too and I thought that, although it’s obviously a mass email, it’s nice that they’re touching base, recognizing the hard work of the applicants and, most importantly, not asking for anything else. I read that email as a classy way for the school to show respect to their applicants. Good luck everyone! :)</p>

<p>I got it too, and yes it did sound like they were trying to cushion the blow by assuring me that they “spend a great deal of time reading, thinking and talking about you between now and the end of March”… sigh did we even make it through the first round of admissions lol!</p>

<p>on the flip-side it could mean we were accepted, lol in fact here are some other signs of acceptance:</p>

<p>your backpack strap gets caught on something as you try to stand up</p>

<p>you experience inception</p>

<p>you get the finger from a soccer mom in a minivan who was tailgating you</p>

<p>on the third day you look to the east and see Gandalf</p>

<p>you have random urges to consume scallops</p>

<p>you stub your toe as you get out of the shower</p>

<p>an owl flys over your right shoulder as you stroll down the sidewalk at night</p>

<p>you appear on tosh.0</p>

16

<p>It came across as 110% generic to me. I have no idea why people are freaking out about it.</p>

17

<p>I love brown! They are so nice !!!</p>

18

<p>The fact that I had my Brown phone interview just two days ago made me freak out slightly when I first read it. I just thought, “Aw man, was I THAT bad?” But knowing that others got it has me a little relieved now.</p>

19

<p>lol same here luna27!</p>

<p>From this email, it implied that “your 12th grade is very important”, and your “achievement” (from 10/11 ~ now) is what they will concern.</p>
