**Brown Class of 2020 RD applicant thread**

Hi, I’m new to this thread, and I have one question about Brown’s supplementary materials. I uploaded a PDF to on Brown’s applicant account, and clicked “upload”. It showed a page that said something like “document sent to brown”, but when I clicked back to the application summary, it does not confirm my previous uploaded PDF. Is everyone else’s like this too? I just wanted to make sure Brown received it. Thanks!

@crystalball13 yeah the same thing happened to me. I would just assume that it was submitted, since you got that notification that it was submitted, and you don’t want to spam the admissions office with the same document.
You could probably email admissions if you want to find out if they got it though.

Any international applicant from India/SE Asia have received any emails regarding interviews yet?

@crystalball13 @smartypants57 When I asked them whether they could confirm if they’ve received my Slideroom portfolio, they responded with this: “We do not track and cannot confirm receipt of supplementary material.” I assume this applies to your scenario as well, even if it was through the applicant account.

@smartypants57 @c777123 Alright, thanks for telling me!

Hello, hopeful brunonians! Here’s to hoping we all get in!

Interview info! If you haven’t heard from an alum, don’t panic yet. We’re having issues with the website, so that’s causing some delays. I just got assigned some students to interview long distance, and just sent them an email this morning. I know that there are areas with no alums where we are struggling to find interviewers.

And just because you “know” there are alums in your area doing interviews bears no relationship to you being contacted. Alumni procrastinate just like everyone else – someone probably has your name and just hasn’t made the contact yet. It’s frustrating, I know, but human nature is human nature.

There are tons of reasons why you may not have been contacted yet for an interview, and absolutely none of those reasons have any connection to your chances of acceptance.

BTW – PLEASE check your email/text/phone messages. I know of several alums who have been contacting students, leaving messages – and not hearing back.

I just got signed up to do an interview at a local high school, where Brown is holding an entire day of interviews (individually, of course). They’re short at only 25 minutes, but it seems to be the best option :confused:

I just got my interview for this Sunday at a local coffee shop. Hope it goes well.

Anyone from the midwest get an interview?

I got my email yesterday around 7. Interesting lol

I had my interview this morning. (SoCal) It was one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve done so far.

Congrats for President Scholar candidacy.

DD did not have luck to be selected as a candidate. She missed one question on math by mistake. Her school have several candidates each year but I don’t know exact number. DD said she’s 75% on CR with 800 and 52% on M with 770 at her school.

In NYC, there are many SAT prep schools and it is quite expensive to send kid to a prep school. There are many tutoring service in the city too and tutoring is much more expensive. I am happy DD got a good score with the Blue Book only. Much cheaper option. I was very firm to ask her to finish one practice test per day during winter break. So she finished 7 practice tests and it was a big relief after I found she had a high score at her first SAT test.


Today is a relaxing day with snow storm. Staying home all day and do nothing.

I am really sorry my previous post. I put it in a wrong thread and it is already late to change anything.

Anyone else still not receive the login yet?
It wouldn’t be stressing me out, but I have supplemental materials to submit through it that are due on the 30th…

I think you should call/email if you haven’t received a login yet @wonderlanddd preferably call if you find the right number bc it’s a quicker response

yeah, that’s what I was thinking @graceann :confused: time zones mean I have trouble calling during the day so I’ll email them tonight, and if I don’t get a response I’ll try to call tomorrow

I would call, although Brown was one of the last portals I received.

had my interview today. for those worried-don’t be! it was super casual and conversational. unfortunately it was so conversational that I do not think I got to talk enough about myself and my strengths, but at least my interviewer got a good feel of my personality.

also, can i still put up a music submission?
