Brown Fall 2010 Transfer Thread

<p>@Melonbread</p>

<p>The online application does not have a 24 hour grace period. Brown gets so many applications and they need reasons to turn most of them away. Failing to meet a deadline seems like a fair excuse to me. </p>

<p>@lookingaround,</p>

<p>They may not have a 24 grace period, but they will probably let applications that are a few minutes late slide. (less than 5, 3, 2?) The reason is that the time on your computer, may be different than the common apps time-stamp. So relax.</p>

<p>I found out on the 1st that my SAT scores didn’t get sent the first time I tried to order them. i re-ordered them but not until the afternoon of the 1st so I don’t know if they will get there in time.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure the SATs are delivered electronically to Brown, I know ACT scores are. </p>

<p>How long did it take for Brown to give you your login credentials?</p>

<p>really? last year for frosh admissions, a friend of mine handed in apps 3-4 days late for some ivies. still got accepted, but i suspect it was because she had amazing stats</p>

<p>I highly doubt they trash applications that are a couple minutes, even a day or so late. Otherwise they wouldn’t take your money.</p>

<p>Stanford did.</p>

<p>Did everyone get their login credentials from the Admissions Office yet?</p>

<p>I have not, should I be concerned?</p>

<p>I believe we’ll be getting them in early April.</p>

<p>Casey, are you sure that’s true? I thought that we were supposed to receive our login info about a week or so after applying. I’m not entirely sure where I heard/read that but I could have almost sworn that is what I was told.</p>

<p>On Brown’s admissions website- “Please note that userIDs and passkeys will be emailed to Transfer applicants after April 1, 2010.”</p>

<p>Casey, you and your reading comprehension always get me.</p>

<p>(insert concernedparent joke that I’ve yet to formulate here)</p>

<p>Oh and please tell me that you linked admissions to the collaboration you and Dom did. :-p</p>

<p>Okay thanks. I remember reading something about it, but last night I could not find it on their website. (Granted I was in the middle of a panic attack ;p)</p>

<p>could you give the url to the page that talks about the login? Thanks again,</p>

<p>I found the page that talks about the login for Brown’s Application Summary.</p>

<p>from: [Brown</a> Admission: How to Keep Track of Your Application](<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Brown University”>Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)</p>

<p>"In order to use this online tracking feature, you will need a Brown username and password. We will not assign you a username and password until after you submit the Brown Transfer Supplement. This administrative process takes some time, so it may be a week or more before you receive your username and password.</p>

<p>After you have been assigned a username and password you can use them to log on to the Application Summary web site, which contains tracking information about the forms of your application that have already been submitted. Please note that this login information is different from the username and password that give you access to your forms on the Common Application web site."</p>

<p>I applied on the 1st. While I am not surprised that I am still waiting, it has been two-weeks and I am getting a bit nervous.</p>

<p>Has anyone else who applied on the 1st got their login?</p>

<p>@marketingcoop: The front page of Brown’s undergrad admissions site says that login’s wont be sent out until after April 1st. </p>

<p>[Brown</a> University Admission](<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Brown University”>Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)</p>

<p>Any other independant transfer students upset that Brown expects both parents to contribute? I received and will receive next year zero dollars combined. But sure, they’ll pay 30000$ dollars next year.</p>

<p>@Beren, </p>

<p>I am not sure what you are getting at…</p>

<p>One of the ppl who wrote me recommendation received a thank-you letter from the Admisssions. It’s a customized one.</p>

<p>Did anybody receive things like this? He’s an alum so I guess it’s just what they do for every alum recommender…and it doesn’t mean anything.</p>

<p>@CellistX</p>

<p>At the very least you know that Brown received his letter. </p>

<p>Did your other Professor receive one as well? Or did the letter explicitly indicated that its sent only to Brown alums?</p>

<p>Not sure. I guess they didn’t; I just assumed that they’d tell me if they did. </p>

<p>It did not explicitly say that it’s sent only to alums…</p>

<p>Is/was the midyear report required? It doesn’t say anything on the website about it…</p>
