You guys are too nice.
EA NEU decisions were released via email/portal. They came in waves across the country. I was on CC when the New England decisions were out at 4pm, then I fell asleep waiting - I’m in the Midwest. Woken up by a pleasant email telling me to check my portal, then looked and saw my decision, scholarship, and fin aid. Then went back to sleep.
That amount of Pell Grant would likely mean you qualify for a lot of grant money at NEU - don’t discount it until you find out! 
I know! I made a lot of cool, nice friends here… a lot of them are relatable since we’re all going through the same anxious process. :x
I received my email in mid Feb. I was eating breakfast and I almost peed my pants because I wasn’t expecting the announcement AT ALL. They told me to go check my portal. Scholars and full scholarship!!! I started screaming.
@whitespace Ahhhh, that’s so exciting! (Congrats, btw!) I guess I’ll be finding out at 4!
@Grapess OH MY GOD CONGRATS I’M SO PROUD!!!
@Grapess Congrats on scholars!! I was really hoping for it but definitely not complaining with my NM scholarship over here haha
@whitespace @schroscat Thank you!! If such a good thing can happen to a student like me, I’m 1,000,000% sure great things will happen to you two, too.
@Grapess Oh, gosh, I hope so.
Thank you!!
My school is one of the NJ top public schools. It has a big portion of Asian overachievers. In the past 10 years, only 2 got into Brown but they also got into Harvard and chose to attend Harvard instead of Brown. Everybody (including the alum interviewer) said, I am a Brown material and they have such a high expectation on me that I would break this curse. Dec 10th 2015, a deferral. It hurt so bad. I set my eyes on Brown since I started my Highschool career. The agony of waiting continues with deminishing hope.
I frantically applied to 14 more schools, 4 of them are for both BSMD and UG, spending over a thousand on application fees and score reports. I guess this is a typical reaction after seeing many similar posts. This madness will end soon. I just hope that Brown would love us back. Good luck everyone.
@PigletYorkie totally normal reaction. Although I genuinely liked a majority of the schools I applied to, I applied to a regional school I had 0 intention to attend because I knew they would get back to me soon, it only cost 15 dollars, and I needed a confidence boost. Good luck come the 31st!
I’ve been on CC for a while now just gotta say the ppl in the Brown thread r by far the nicest I’ve seen anywhere:) Ii go to a british school in HK so I’m pretty much the only kid applying to US schools. 17 days left till decisions fingers crossed for all of us i really do hope we can all make it >.< “insert praying emoji”
Ok question, when I go to my Brown portal and I click on “Student” it has a pop up box that reads: “For Summer 2016 and beyond, to search and add courses to your cart, use Brown’s new Course Search Tool - Courses@Brown.”
… Is this a glitch showing that I got accepted and its giving me a notice accidentally??
Or does everyone have this?? HELP! AHHH
@jetynz it’s safer to assume that it’s a glitch/something there for everyone. I wouldn’t take it as a sign of anything.
ditto on the Course Search Tool. does anyone not have it in the Student tab?
I too have that in the tab. I think it is something important, I remember something similar happened last year (?)
@jacobototo I just quickly searched through last year’s Brown RD thread and could find nothing like that.
I have it, but I doubt it means anything!
Lol this thread is so damn chill. You guys should go check out the Yale thread. It’s so entertaining xD like ArsenalFanTv
I have the courses tab as well; I would say that it’s safe to assume that it’s just an honest error on Brown’s part.
I have it to but I think everyone has the course tab. They’ll probably fix it later or whenever they figure out there’s a glitch in the system
