Brown Class of 2020 Early Decision Discussion

If we’re lucky, decisions will come out on the 10th. It’s been a Thursday for a few years now.

If it’s a Thursday, the 17th would seem more likely though, especially with all the delays in standardized testing scores and such there have been this year…

In the brown daily herald, it said it would come out in the second week of December.

I’m pretty sure decisions have to be out by Dec. 15.

Yeah, the Brown Daily Herald article said second week of December, and the admissions decision portal says “early December,” so I’m guessing it’ll be the 10th or 11th. Penn’s admission calendar says the 11th, and normally all ivies release the same day, so I’m going with the 11th.

I received an email from my interviewer on November 15, but I still haven’t received the confirmation email with the Brown Portal info. Should I call Brown tomorrow? Is anyone else in the same boat?

All Ivies do not release on the same day for ED. I think the only “rule” is that is has to be by Dec. 15.

@booknerd452 Yes!! I had my interview today but I still haven’t received the email with the portal info. I’m so glad someone else is in the same boat haha.

@ashmelk haha me too. Flipping through some of the comments on this thread made me nervous :slight_smile: I hope the interview went well and best of luck!

If you’ve been contacted for an interview, they clearly have your application. The holdup is generally between the admissions office and the IT folks, so nothing to worry about.

where on the admissions portal does it say early december?

Apparently it was December 8th last year

Last year they released ED results on Thursday, December 11th at 5 P.M. I believe it was Thursday, December 12th in 2014…so my guess is that it will be Thursday, December 10th this year in keeping with the theme of Thursdays. Whatever the case, a notice will be posted on the Brown website when an exact date is chosen.

2009 — Dec. 14
2010 — Dec. 13
2011 — Dec. 13
2012 — Dec. 12

If it’s the 10th that’s exactly 2 weeks from today… fingers crossed!!

Although my subject tests sent on November 23rd, my application still marks my subject tests as missing… should I be worried? (For clarification, I e-mailed admissions before submitting my app saying that I could only submit my subject sats on the November date, which they said is fine as long as I use the free-score choice option, which I did.)

Has anyone else still not received a confirmation email with there portal info?

@Taurus98 A lot of people have gotten theirs late but at this point you should definitely call the admissions office to ask about it.

@greentealover are you sure they thought it was ok to use the November test date? On the ED application page it says they have to have all required testing by October
