@EinsteinCurie here
Hey everyone! I’m on Brown’s waitlist and I just had a quick question - today my school counselor told me that a Brown admissions officer had called her and asked if I was still interested in attending Brown. I had been waitlisted at 3 other schools and I decided to only focus on 1 (I accepted my place on all the waitlists, but only submitted a LOCI to one - not Brown - as I considered all of them rejections anyway - plus, I was okay with the school I was committing to). Should I quickly write a LOCI today and send it to my Brown admissions officer ASAP? Would they suspect that I only wrote one because they called my counselor? Thanks!
@hohohoe Sending one now would just sound desperate. They’d know that you only wrote one because they called your counselor
@hohohoe Since your teacher already confirmed your interest, you don’t need to submit one. The admissions office already deal with a lot of documents and sending a letter this late would burden them.
Which schools did you get waitlisted at, and where did you commit to?
If the people at Brown called you they must want to take you off the waitlist.
thanks for the responses @Janeblackberry @EinsteinCurie @snaccbrown ! (pls ignore my nickname I made this account as a dumb freshman) I was waitlisted by a majority of my reach schools (so basically the ivies) and I committed to an in-state school (UC). I know it’s probably late and redundant at this point, but would it hurt to send in a letter?
@hohohoe hey! probably yes, because at this point they’re meeting in committee and a LOCI would have helped more last month before they began.
@hohohoe on the contrary, i would say go ahead and send one if you have updates that could be beneficial, even if they’re not too major and reaffirm your interest/fit in brown
I really don’t see how it can hurt, if anything worst case scenario it won’t be looked at i can’t see them going ‘oh they sent a LOCI w useful info let’s not accept them after we were planning to’
go for it! u miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!
@EinsteinCurie I think it should be emails but they can call if they like to…
So guys looks like May 15th is gonna be the day lol
@Vronsky how do ya know
“If the Board votes to offer you admission from our Wait List, you will be notified by mail; you should not, however, expect notification prior to May 15, and we will conclude our Wait List process by June 30.”
This is just means it’ll be any day between May 15-June 30, not necessarily on it
This year is already much later than before, so I’m pretty confident that they should release the results tomorrow.
What majors did all of you guys apply under?
History
anyone has any good news?
nope
They usually call the lucky ones in the afternoon
