Brown Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

@ffina23: Sounds like plenty of other people are in the same situation. No need to call. I promise you that this happens every year and in 99.9% of situations, they just haven’t gotten to you yet. Make sure you’re checking the spam folder in your email, though.

Got my email, it’s all good :slight_smile: However they haven’t received my scores yet and won’t for a while as the October ACT Writing score has still not been released. Their website says you can take the October ACT and still be ok, but this seems to be cutting it pretty close… will it be held against me if my ACT isn’t there on time through no fault of my own?

I got my email from Brown today, and I submitted my application November 1. Be sure to check all your inboxes because my email was in my Promotions inbox.

I missed the CSS deadline of 11/3 and just submitted it today. Will they still consider my CSS application for early decision?

Does anyone know if they will be asking for our mid semester grades?

In the past, they’ve asked for them in some applicants, and not in others. Whether they’re asked for or not HAS NOT correlated with who actually gets in - seems like it’s just that for some applicants, they want to see a bit more data.

I sent my ACT score on October 12 and the college board says it sent my SAT II scores on November 2. However, when I check my application it says none of my test scores have been received. Is it normal for test scores to take this long to be added to my application?

Has anyone received any communication about the alumni interview?

I got contacted for an interview on Tuesday but I still haven’t received a confirmation from Brown…

Via email or the account they gave you? Just want to make sure I’m not blowing off my appointment haha

Interviews will come via email or phone.

@apexamcramming I had the same issue. I sent my June ACT scores to Brown in early October and when I checked my portal, they hadn’t been marked as received yet. However, I called the admissions office yesterday and they said that they still had a stack of files they haven’t matched up yet and that I shouldn’t worry about it.

@ashmelk That was me too. I got my alumni interview info about 5 days before I got my portal info. But hey, if you got interview info, that means that they know you’re an applicant! You’ll probably get your portal info in a couple of days

I finally got my portal info but still nothing about the interview :<

I forgot to capitalize a letter in my common app essay… I really hope this doesn’t hurt my chances but AGH ; -;

@veronicaburon1 same, all logged into the portal but no interview info yet…

@ffina23 aren’t we supposed to call if we don’t get interview info by today though?

Wait a few more days before calling. Brown made some changes in its website, which is causing some delays. The deadline for when reports are due has been changed to give us alums a few more days to submit. Don’t worry yet.

Agreed that you shouldn’t call yet about interviews. As an interviewer, I haven’t yet received information about who I’m supposed to contact.

@bruno14 thank you that’s reassuring to hear :slight_smile:
