Brown Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

To everyone concerned about the staggering early decision acceptance rate: keep in mind that the applicant pool is not only more interested/sometimes qualified, but also a lot smaller (thus making the rate appear a lot larger than it actually is)! One of the Brown admissions officers said that while ed shows a certain level of commitment that they appreciate and can often behoove you by getting an extra read on your app if you are deferred, they still wouldn’t accept anyone early who they wouldn’t normally accept in RD.

Submitted. Being lightly recruited for a sport so that should help.

submitted :slight_smile: praying and hoping for the best. WHAT IS DONE IS DONE.

Submitted :)>- soooooo excited but also nervous! Does anyone receive email from Brown after you submitted your application? I saw it online that Brown would give students their own accounts. I haven’t received anything after I submitted my application two hours ago.

@Han456 They email you a few days after submission to let you know they’ve gotten the app and that they’re processing all of your info. Then (as included in the email) about 2 weeks later they send you login info to create your account. I made mine a few days ago and now I’m just waiting to hear about an alumni interview. I’m very excited, and extremely nervous! Now there’s only just hoping everything works out. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

Does anyone know when we get info for interviews?

Submitted mine on Wed! Good luck guys! Hope we all hear good news in Dec…haha…

ALanahR, an alum will contact you. There’s a thread all about interviews at the top of this Brown forum.

Just submitted my app! God, I’ve been working up to this for so long, I don’t even know what to do with my life right now. I’m trying to pick out something moderately expensive to treat myself to.

Congrats pontmercy! Time to treat yo’self. :slight_smile:
(Sorry if you don’t get that Parks and Rec reference…hehe)

So nervous…

Thanks QueenOfCats! Don’t worry, I get it :slight_smile:

I’ve just been listening to Kate Bush on repeat and playing minecraft honestly.

When should we expect a confirmation email from Brown with the application summary page account info?

@rainshadow56 I submitted my app on Friday and I still haven’t gotten mine yet so I’m wondering the same thing

@rainshadow56 @ALananhR same, submitted mine on the 30th and haven’t gotten an email. Good to know we’re not the only ones.

@rainshadow56 @ALananhR @ffina23 I submitted on the 29th and still haven’t heard. Also, my counselor is having problems locating her portion of the ED agreement. Does anyone know how she can access it? She sent everything else in through Naviance. Thanks!

After big rushes of applications (ED/RD due dates), it can often take up to 2 weeks to get your online confirmation. Nothing to worry about.

@bruno14 That’s good to hear, I was getting a bit freaked out cause I had some issue with getting the parental signature.

I applied on October 22nd and got an email shortly afterwards that they received my application and would be sending details about getting a BrownAccount within two weeks. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about right now.
