<p>i know i’m probably reading too much into this and projecting my own emotions onto this situation…but…</p>
<p>i sent an application update to brown and my friend sent an application update also around the same time (about a week ago)</p>
<p>however she received an email response thanking her for the update while i did not…
[i called today and the office said they received it.]
idk…is it a bad sign that i didn’t receive an email response? or am i just reading too much into this?
i was thinking it could possibly just be different people’s responses…maybe the person who checked her email responds to things and the one who checked mine doesnt?
or maybe not…?</p>
<p>idk i know this is a stupid post, but with a little more than a month, im getting extremely nervous.</p>
<p>Yes you’re overreacting. Stay away CC for awhile!
Good luck!</p>
<p>as long as they said they got it and put it in your file you’re fine and reading too much into it</p>
<p>I have the same question. There was an error on my transcript that I discovered in December, and told my school to resend the updated transcript to all my colleges. Then I wrote an email to each of the respective admissions offices about a week ago, saying to disregard the previously sent transcripts. Some of my colleges were quick to reply (thank you Amherst and Stanford!), while others (including Brown) haven’t responded at all. </p>
<p>Perhaps I’m reading too much into this, but could there be a reason why certain schools responded, and why some others didn’t? Maybe the ones that didn’t reply already put my application into the rejection pile… :(</p>
<p>if it were that easy to figure out where you stood in the admissions game, Kaplan and Princeton Review would have already set up a system where they could charge you to make up reasons to contact schools to figure out where you stood.</p>
<p>That’s true. 
But truthfully, the real reason for my nervousness is the fact that this is my second time applying to colleges (although I never applied to Brown before this year). Last year (2011), I also sent an application update around the same time to the private colleges I applied to, and only one of them replied with a confirmation email. I ended up getting rejected from all of them - but I did have back-ups, so it wasn’t the worst-case scenario. </p>
<p>That’s why I’m wondering if there could possibly be any reason behind whether or not a college replies to an applicant’s further updates - and if a college already decided on putting a specific application into the rejection pile, they probably wouldn’t be motivated to open or read any subsequent information from the applicant…</p>
<p>whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Stay clear of CC threads for a while. Neuroticism is contagious.</p>
