Woohoo! Got the email too.

@Monster1997 Yea, all are satisfied

Got the email about 10 minutes ago.

Hey guys, just got the email but mine says that the decisions are coming out at 5:30 PM and not 5 PM EST? Do your guys’ emails say 5:30 PM or 5 PM?

Dear xxx,

Beginning March 31, 2016 applicants to the Class of 2020 can view admission decisions on the web at http://admissiondecision.brown.edu at 5:30 pm Eastern Time.

@mihirt19 Mine says 5:30 too! This is weird. Do you think it could be by last name? Mine starts with Y, and I’m international.

@mihirt19 - That’s interesting. Mine says 5 PM.
EDIT: If it has anything to do with last names, mine is R.

I have 5 PM.

Last name: O.

Same here! Can’t believe it’s already Monday!! Before we know it, we will be counting down minutes rather than days!

I don’t think any school would give hints about their decision before it’s released. I think it’s just a strategy to protect their server, but I’m really curious.

I’m American but I don’t live in the US so that might be why…
Last name: T

Mine says 5:30 PM.
My last name starts with a D.

Great…now I’m just going to sit here and worry about whether this means something.

Guys, look at the thread from last year. It doesn’t seem to mean anything: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/1721960-brown-university-class-of-2019-rd-applicants-p43.html

My email says 5:30 but my portal says 5 :slight_smile:

@mihirt19 I’m international but I currently live in the US haha.

Has any American citizen living in America gotten an email with “5:30”?

Last name Z - decision released at 5
I also think this is a strategy to protect their server

@miwo331 well that’s a relief!

Maybe they just didn’t want everyone logging in at the same time?
