Brown College waitlist

<p>So, I just got my housing offer for the IRC, which I'm pretty pumped about since it was my second choice. But I was still still curious about my first choice, Brown, so I emailed housing and was told that I'm #12 on the Brown waitlist and should just go ahead and accept the IRC spot since I probably won't get a room in Brown as #12. Could someone familiar with Brown advise me on how to handle this - whether I should go ahead with the IRC or try to hold out for Brown? I have no idea how much of a chance someone with my ranking on the waitlist has of actually getting a room. I'm not sure if housing is correct about my low Brown chances or if they just want me to commit as soon as possible.</p>

<p>I'm a second-year transfer, if it's relevant. I'd be perfectly happy with IRC but just want to make sure I'm setting myself up for the best possible outcome.</p>

<p>Go for IRC, waitlist for transfer students for Brown is very hard to get off of.</p>

<p>How did you get your housing offer from the IRC? I applied to Brown as my first choice and IRC as my second, but I haven’t heard back from either of them. </p>

<p>I got an email from the housing office on the 11th telling me my offer was ready, and I followed the link in the email to a page with all the information.</p>

<p>Hey guys. I got on the waitlist for Brown also. #8… I got a housing offer for Weedon though.
so I guess I shouldn’t wait either huh? </p>

<p>As a transfer student, anything past #1 or #2 will not happen. As a first year it is more probable but still low low chance.</p>
