<p>also, I haven’t been contacted for an interview yet.</p>
<p>question:
My teacher just told me that Common App STILL won’t let her submit the rec. I contacted Brown about the common app glitch. It is already 11/9 yikes! Will Brown count it against me?</p>
<p>Will emailing Common App as well be of any use in this situation? like, will it just get lost in a sea of other email complaints about their problems this year?</p>
<p>common app is evil.</p>
<p>schmincke: email and physically mail the rec letter to Brown ASAP</p>

<p>I really want to do that…</p>
<p>it will solve the problem for Brown, but not for the other privates I have. 
Once I tell the teacher to email it to Brown, he/she’ll stop trying to upload it onto Common App, and I can’t expect him/her to individually email every college without making him/her angry.</p>
<p>sorry for stealing this thread/ I’ll stop now</p>
<p>It’s too early for any of you to worry about not receiving log-in info or interview invites. Log-in info just takes them a long time, and it’s not done in any discernible pattern. If you haven’t received anything by this coming Friday, then you should be contacting the admissions office. Most likely they just haven’t processed your files yet.</p>
<p>Interview invites depend on your geographic region and the alum who is organizing all of that. Some of them are really on top of things, some aren’t as much. No reason to worry.</p>
<p>As far as I know, so far there have been no interviews “handed out” to interviewers in my area.</p>
<p>jrnhuyrn, pay attention to where you are posting. This thread is called</p>
<pre><code>Brown University Class of 2018 Early Decision Applicants
</code></pre>
<p>if that doesn’t pertain to you, don’t threadjack–make your own thread for your separate questions about Brown. For general admissions advice to ‘top colleges’ post in the College Admissions forum.</p>
<p>@brownparent: sorry. I am new in here ( CC ) and didn’t know the rules. Just asked few question for bruno14 since he is in plme program. Well , sorry brown parent.</p>

<p><em>she</em></p>

<p>Some good news:</p>
<p>[Common</a> App poses problems for early admission cycle ? Brown Daily Herald](<a href=“http://www.browndailyherald.com/2013/11/11/common-app-poses-problems-early-admission-cycle/]Common”>Common App poses problems for early admission cycle - The Brown Daily Herald)</p>
<p>Many applications are still being processed, but the Admission Office is not likely to push back the mid-December date for releasing decisions to early applicants, Miller said. Last year’s Nov. 1 early decision deadline was extended due to Hurricane Sandy, but the Admission Office still notified early decision applicants of their admission statuses by Dec. 12, he said.</p>
<p>Hey guys, recently contacted by a brown alumnus who is setting up a meeting for me this Tuesday. I’m soooooo nervous! Good luck to everyone and hope the common app issues have been settled</p>
<p>how were you guys contacted? phone or email>?</p>
<p>Interviewers use both methods cosmo. There’s no set protocol.</p>
<p>Hi all, are there any international applicants from Korea here? If so, have you gotten contacted for an interview yet?</p>
<p>My son applied ED to Brown. He has not been contacted for an alumni interview. When do we start to worry about this?</p>
<p>You don’t worry. Some students get interviews, some don’t. Some areas are much better about doing them quickly. The interview will not make or break his application.</p>
<p>@sy I’m from Korea and I haven’t been contacted yet.</p>
<p>@bruno14 My husband graduated from Brown. He is under a different impression, that unless you live in a rural area of China, almost everyone gets an interview. Perhaps his impression is not correct. He has been doing alumni interviews for years but if you have a child applying you are locked out of the system for that year, which is fair. By the way, do you have any idea how much being a legacy really helps? Thank you.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard from alumni interviewers and from being on this website for year after year, I think that your husband may be mistaken. I know that there are plenty of applicants on here every year who don’t get interviews.</p>
<p>Legacy: the way that it’s explained is that if your son was being compared against an identical candidate, the student with legacy would be the one who was accepted. It certainly will not make up for any deficiencies in his application.</p>
<p>This is assuming, of course, that your husband does not have a building named in his honor on campus :)</p>
