****brandeis 2021 regular decision thread****

OMG EMAIL OMG EMAIL OMG OMG

… Crap. Well, at least now we know it’s only two days before OMG PORTAL UPDATE OMG.

Ugh. Heart went racing and just avoided a crash with Dale Earnhardt.

did anyone get 2 emails from Brandeis? both from “Brandeis Admissions”, one saying the when the decisions come out and the other saying “Brandeis ranked top Impact School by the Princeton Review”

@sciencegirl20 got both of those

@sciencegirl20 I got both

They still require stuff in place of the SAT- I think graded essays. So I wouldn’t expect an acceptance. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances, but I think that email was automatic if you submitted an application at all.

Did anyone only receive one email about the decision data notice? I didn’t receivethat rank email…OMGOMG.

@Joeyyyy I received only one about the decisions date… Freaking out here…

OMG…finger cross…
really really really hope they could accept me…

received both emails but I don’t think that “rank” email mean anything.

Some people did not receive the rank email. I don’t know why. But I think it’s just random.

I know that I signed up for Brandeis’ email list so maybe I just got the second email because of that

Did anyone who had signed up for Brandeis’ email list some time in the past NOT receive the rank email?

Financial Aid checklist updated with one of the items dated “3/19” even though I sent it in 2 months ago. Withdrawal link disappeared! Anyone else? What does this mean?

Is Brandeis Need Blind? I’m seeing conflicting info on that.

Check your spam file

@kodiakandrosita I did not sign-up for any newsletters yet I’m still getting them

@redpoodles I also had some financial aid things added like 3/9, was telling myself thats a good thing but it isn’t happening on my other apps, so I’d rather it mean nothing :smiley:

If you sent for “application information” from Brandeis, you’ll probably get these “rank” emails. We never signed up a “newsletter” but did request information way back int he Summer or Fall and these little newsletters have been coming about once a month since then. It’s just a mailing list I think, and has nothing to do with the status of your application.

Anybody else have their Withdrawal disappear and items updated? Anyone domestic?

Withdraw button now gone on S portal. Was there earlier today. Obviously means something that it is disappearing…but no idea. Only guesses. He applied to the LSC program. My pessimist hat on says that those that had it disappear earlier were the first upload of acceptances and S is in reject pile. Who the heck knows. The only sure thing is that they are prepping the portals for posting decisions

I don’t think that disappearance of the withdrawal button means anything more than just that - you can’t withdraw anymore. If they are sending out acceptances, they don’t want to count people who at the last minute decided to withdraw.

Anyone else who applied to LSC or QBREC have their withdraw button disappear just today
