Wondering who else out there applied ED and is anxiously awaiting Dec notification?
My S21 did and it’s been on all of our minds a lot.
(He did submit scores.)

My daughter applied ED. Traditionally decision come out the second Thursday in December. I would guess Dec. 10 is notification day. Hoping for the best, but we are expecting the worse (with applications to Brown ED up 16%).

@cholocho01 yeah I checked mine and Brown requested a bunch of tax forms via IDOC. I have no idea what that means for the status of my application, but I think it’s a good sign I didn’t get rejected immediately. I’ve heard a few people say that for people who applied for financial aid, because Brown is a need-blind institution, it makes sense that you have to be admitted or at least moved on to the next round for the Financial Aid Office to request these documents, but I’m not sure of the validity of these claims. I for one will continue to keep my expectations at rock bottom lol

hey, did you get an email from IDOC that an additional school requests the documents? or did you see that Brown was on the list of institutions requesting forms on the IDOC portal itself?
did you?
@curiousmonkey03 I didn’t get an email but I saw that people were asking about it so I checked the IDOC portal itself and there it was. The moral of the story is to check your portals because you might not have received an email!
oh same I didnt get an email, but I heard some people last year got emails saying “an additional school has requested documents.” but on my portal it does say brown requested it. is that the same thing?
@curiousmonkey03 I think so? Don’t quote me on that though because I’m not super familiar with this kind of thing. In my mind it’s kind of like if a college puts an update to your application on the portal but didn’t send you an email. Some people get one and some people don’t, but that’s not indicative of whether you have an update/have had files requested.
I talked to others about this, but the consensus is that you get a separate email and that everyone gets the thing about Brown being on the IDOC portal list.
Does everyone get an IDOC request? I got one too I thought that was good news towards acceptance?
Where/how did you get a request? Was the email titled “Additional School requests information?” or smth like that? Or did you see it on your IDOC portal. Cuz then it depends.
Got an email from college board that a school was requesting my idoc. When I looked it was Brown, not sure if that’s good?
@bpereira At any rate, I’m sure you’re a hella qualified candidate and I wouldn’t read too much into it considering this is based mostly on rumors and hearsay.
What do you mean it depends?
oh that definitely means a good sign for you! congrats!!
Anyone whose First Term Grades shows complete in the portal? Mine is always not received.
S’s portal shows that his first quarter grades were received.
If we didn’t get an email but there’s a notice on the portal, is that a bad sign?
