<p>fmhcbc:
I dunno. I wouldn’t worry too much though. Just send them a request if you absolutely need an earlier notification. Don’t if you don’t need it I guess? I don’t think it’ll necessarily help or harm…</p>
<p>I just got my login name. Still waiting for them to send the password.</p>
<p>nice, me too! For some reason it got put in the spam box. Can’t have that…</p>
<p>This is gonna be risky, especially before they figure out how many applications they actually received. I believe they are gonna accept roughly 30% more transfer students this year. So if some one needs an earlier notification, I guess he/she might be judged based on Brown’s previous criteria. </p>
<p>And you always have the option to send your deposit to secure your spot in another school so…</p>
<p>Yay! I just got my username. Just waiting on the passkey now.</p>
<p>Oh hey, check out this article: [The</a> Brown Daily Herald - Transfer applications up 5 percent from last year](<a href=“http://www.browndailyherald.com/transfer-applications-up-5-percent-from-last-year-1.2184825]The”>http://www.browndailyherald.com/transfer-applications-up-5-percent-from-last-year-1.2184825)</p>
<p>Sounds like some real good news in there…they’re doubling the amount of financial aid available for transfers! They say that ability to pay will be somewhat less of a factor this time around.</p>
<p>edit: Actually wait…only 800,000 dollars? That’s like $4700 a person. That sounds like pretty bad news for me, unless it turns out that most people don’t actually need financial aid…</p>
<p>o man
Brown’s need aware… and if u think about it, per-student allotment decreased although the total endowment increased… meaning I am not gonna fare well in Brown.</p>
<p>How much does not applying for financial aid really help though? I know they’re need aware but I still can’t imagine that it’ll work against highly qualified applicants and benefit less qualified applicants.</p>
<p>It helps a lot. If you read the article, you’ll find that the purpose of them increasing transfer admissions is to increase revenue. So if you can pay fully, it helps a lot. For those of us who can’t pay at all, it means we’re probably not getting in.</p>
<p>Weird…it says they haven’t received my FAFSA. I submitted that in January, and Brown is listed as a recipient.</p>
<p>I didn’t apply for financial aid but I’m by no means an exceptional applicant. Here’s to hoping I get in. (I probably wont)</p>
<p>So all of you who have been able to login to check your application status:
Do your instructor evaluations show up as two separate ones or does it just show up as one?</p>
<p>I have received my username/passkey but I can’t for the life of me find the “check your application status” link on brown.edu/admission. Am I just completely missing it?</p>
<p>Use the freshmen decision link for now</p>
<p>I just got the email :)</p>

<p>Same here! im on $0 family contribution
and it seems obvious that Brown is short on cash… the +50 acceptance seems mainly to boost short term revenue…</p>
<p>Additional 400,000 finaid seems like a token pacifier for peeps like us!! cuz that amount of money will give less than FIVE people a free ride, and the other 46 peeps will pay =P (40,000 annual boarding+tuition per person *at least TWO years of enrollment in Brown)</p>
<p>Reallly ??? really…</p>

<p>Ahh my secondary school report isn’t marked as received even though my HS transcript is.</p>
<p>As convenient as these online tracking systems are they still drive me crazy :(</p>
<p>Why does it say, “Thanks for applying to the clas of 2014. Decision will be out on April 1st”? I hope they didn’t accidentally put me with the freshman applicants; that would be unfortunate. lol</p>
<p>Ah S**t, just as I suspected, my university forgot to send my transcript! I’m so glad I’m leaving next year, god!</p>
<p>Am I royally screwed for this???</p>
