******BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY RD 2019 thread*****

let’s get this started

Literally have been waiting for this thread for months, lol

So have I…just created 20 new rd threads

got an application status update saying I have been nominated for the LSC. could that mean i have been admitted?

@val9709, got the same thing, no idea what it means

@jamesjunkers‌ We meet again. :))

So I have a question— One of Brandeis’s financial aid officers emailed me today with a very specific question regarding my application for aid. Do you think that means I’ve been accepted?

@lavalamp97, can’t forget about the Binghamton scholars thread though :wink:

@ReginaFalange‌ Not necessarily. I’ve also had to send Brandeis extra financial aid information. I don’t know the exact reasons behind it, but sometimes they just need more information. The financial aid department is separate from the admissions department. I love your username, by the way.

@jamesjunkers‌ And of course University of Rochester (I don’t post much there but I see you, haha).

Bahaha thanks. And I just wasn’t sure because Brandeis is technically “need blind” right? So I didn’t know if that meant they calculated aid after admission or if they did it for all applicants and it was just separate.

Generally, need blind schools calculate for all applicants, regardless of academic stength

Good luck @jamesjunkers, @ReginaFalange, @lavalamp97, @zicyzicy! Have you been informed as to the decision date/time?

I checked the website and it said decisions come out April 1st.

^ Hmmm, right after Ivy Day…Hopefully it winds up being a few days earlier than what’s on the website – that’s what happened with ED2, we received an email with an updated earlier date than the website stated (the waiting is hard so any shortening is appreciated).

Ivy day will also probably end up being the 26th, don’t trust the deadlines you read online they tend to change

I’ve got lots of anxious friends who would really love it if you are right, @jamesjunkers! Such a stressful time, made worse by finding out from the Ivys at the same minute (ugh).

Just so you guys know, last year they said they would release rd on April 1st, and they ended up coming out on March 12. They will send an email earlier the day the decide to release and tell you the time. Good luck all!!!

Wow, that is super early!!! I really hope they send them out soon!

Did any/all of you get an invite to apply to LSC recently?

Likely letters have been sent.
