Brown called counselor. What does that mean?

<p>Brown admissions called my counselor today asking for a progress report as evidence of satisfactory senior year grades. Is that a good sign?</p>

<p>as far as I know, Brown actually required a progress report (quarter grades) for ED, so my guess would be that if you didn’t know and didn’t send it they’re probably just asking for it.</p>

<p>Wow, that’s good…b/c that means they are really spending time looking through your son’s file. …do they always? Eeks!<br>
Also means your son wasn’t rejected outright. (Hopefully, your GC put in an extra plug.)</p>

<p>or that’s bad…maybe they wanted to see his 1st quarter grades to determine that yeah/nay decision b/c they were on the fence about your son. Whichever it was… guess what: you won’t know until Dec 15th.</p>

<p>I guess I was looking for an answer from someone who had insight. Your comment about not knowing until Dec. 15th didn’t tell anyone anything they didn’t already know.</p>

<p>carmen1: The only people who know whether this is a “good sign” are people in admissions, and they aren’t posting here. (I’ve been an interviewer for Brown for more than 25 years, which does give me some insight, but you really won’t find anyone on CC who knows for sure.) It might suggest he hasn’t been rejected outright – or Brown may just call for semester 1 grades from every applicant whose file is missing them. </p>

<p>And zweebop was just trying to help.</p>

<p>Ahhhh. I hope they haven’t called my guidance counselor already. My grades are great, but my government teacher has put an assignment that is not due until the end of the quarter into the computer system already. 90% of this teacher’s students currently officially have F’s.</p>

<p>I’ll be submitting the assignment tomorrow, but hopefully they didn’t already call.</p>

<p>They call most schools. <em>shrug</em> It doesn’t mean anything.</p>

<p>Forreal, Carmen1. You sound like a complete B!T*CH! </p>

<p>Homeboy was just giving his opinion, no reason to get all snarky.</p>

<p>Probably means nothing, your obnoxious attitude won’t help you get an answer either.</p>
