ups, usps or fedex @MaybeHarvard2022
@MaybeHarvard2022 : Congratulation!
@aidenmeyer27 : I believe you made it to the final committee table. Keep your fingers crossed.
congrats!!! @MaybeHarvard2022
@Lemonade22 usps
Thank you all!
CONGRAT! @MaybeHarvard2022 @TheOldTimer oh shoot!!! Really? Brown is like my number one pick so thatās really good news!!!
I had my interview exactly two weeks ago. I thought Iāll never get one because it was kinda late lol
@MaybeHarvard2022 Wow congrats! Two good news for you in one day. I am curious where you will end up goingā¦
Does everyone who gets in get a likely letter? Or are there people who donāt get one that still get in?
MOST people do NOT get a likely letter.
@MaybeHarvard2022 Whatās your success story? I sent you a pm.
@intlstudent2022 : I think it is possible a new country will be added to 115+ countries already on the list. No guarantee but someone is considering it.
Are there multiple waves for likely letters? Last year I saw some letters were dated on the 28th.
Financial aid question:
I just got an email from Brown saying that I need to upload 2017 information to my portal. On their FA website it said that we just had to complete CSS, FAFSA and IDOC (if required), all of which I did & is reflected as such in the portal. Is it just me being dumb and everyone was supposed to know to upload this info back when we first applied for financial aid, even though it wasnāt on the website? Or is it a new requirement?
If this is an addition, did everyone who is applying for FA get this email, or only some of us? The email says that this request is independent of the Office of Admissions. Nevertheless, it seems quite weird thereās no mention of this at all on the overall websiteās FA application timelineā¦ not sure what to make of the situation, if anything at all.
@writergirl0316 : Does FAQ #3 answer the question?

Hm, that could be possible, though I thought I had submitted IDOC for another school. I will ask my mom when I get home. Thanks! @TheOldTimer
@TheOldTimer: PLEASE stop telling people that they have a good chance for admission, just based on the date of their interview. Youāre just getting expectations up based on your own beliefs without presenting any supporting data.
@bruno14 I mean that kinda perfectly explains college confidential as a whole. Also, I donāt think anybody ever thinks they are gonna get into one of these schools so if speculating, even if itās not accurate, helps applicants relieve their own stress why do you care???
@bruno14 : Sorry. I know it is politically incorrect to say so. But based on the fact that no one, no one would waste their time or effort at this stage to work with those candidates whose files have been thrown out. (I believe the total number of candidates is near 35K based on the numbers from other schools which have announced.) I am convinced that is the case. All other schools are doing the same thing. Actually for those people who PM me, I only told them they have 1/3 of the chance to get in instead of 1/15. I do find they are all really qualified and unique. All my posts are based on data I received and analyzed over the years. I would be glad to be proved wrong if someone can show their data. Even I am totally convinced that Brown is the school for us. I still waited one semester to confirm it before volunteering to support the school.
Stress relief for either party, or the rest of us for that matter, is not achieved by setting the wrong expectations. Instead of miss information or misleading information perhaps we should reiterate than in this holistic process, generally speaking, no one factor will get you in or keep you out. Also that schools are building communities and a rejection does not represent your potential as a student nor value as a person. Given the track record of each of us (your hard work and passion) we are likely to do well at any school that would have usā¦
