<p>Good Job there buddy. I am now dedicating the rest of my life to tracking your IP, getting your address, and going Jihad on you.</p>
<p>:) :) :)</p>
<p>You had me.</p>
<p>I hate you</p>
<p>K BYE</p>
<p>zuzankao: are you sure that you understood the person on the phone correctly? Yale has consistently mailed stuff (like the postcard confirming my application for admission) to my home address (not my school/mailing address), and it clearly says on my application: "(Note: Yale uses the home address for decision letters)," regardless of your mailing address.</p>
<p>And my friend, who transferred to Yale last year, received her decision (her acceptance) at her home address...</p>
<p>so i was just wondering how accurate your information is about the yale and brown decision letters... and whether the information they gave you just applies to international students...</p>
<p>lol. the guy who started the thread I got into Harvard, where he described picking the lock and opening the gates, got laughs. I get death threats. Chill out, Don't let this transfer process make it so you guys can't laugh. I know you're just joking matm1, but some people get so worked up.</p>

<p>DAMN YOU. I am now caste as the CC hypocrite!!! (I did the Harvard Tread!) </p>
<p>I fully endorse your comedy and anyone who doesn't has to take your advice and lighten up!</p>
<p>bnx86: my english may not be perfect, but yes, i did understand them.</p>
<p>however, as i already said, it might be that they do so only when it comes to international students ( i even received the notification postcard here at school, and not at home). but i still think that friday as the day when the decisions are mailed is the same for both americans and internationals..</p>
<p>sorry for the confusion...</p>
<p>here is the thing that i do not get about cc: sure, we all prob have a little OCD when it comes to transfer stuff, and even though reading all of this just makes us more nervous, we need to do it. but those people who are posting and have not even applied to the school... i'm just don't get it.</p>
<p>not sure if anyone has gotten this answer, but brown starts notifying around may 15. My best friend's dad is on the board of trustees and the admissions committee told him this was the most competitive year they've had. they accepted 60 of 1200...thats 5%. don't get your hopes up unless you are the cream of the crop at a top tier school.</p>

<p>More precisely, they only accepted 30 for the fall and 30 for the spring.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone.</p>
<p>are brown's fall/spring transfers really divided 50/50?....i know harvard accepts fewer transfers for the spring....</p>
<p>he didn't say if that was for both spring and fall or if it was just for the fall, but usually brown accepts more in the spring.</p>
<p>I think they have 60 spots, that means they would accept more than that- probably more like 100+ offers.</p>
<p>right, that makes sense, timberland.</p>
<p>unless they have less than 60 spots, and 60 figures in those who won't accept : (</p>
<p>His exact words were: "We could only accept 60 out of 1200 applicants, this was our most competitive year."</p>
<p>thats just insane, a few years ago, it was like 250 out of 700, i dont get tihs, life is not fair</p>
<p>To me, running that type of high admit rate for a few years sounds like an excellent way to suddenly shift it to be a highly selective process like that of Harvard and Yale. Sort of like the Wal-Mart strategy, ha: reel everyone in by offering this great deal, and then when you have them hooked, keep raising the prices. Brown has managed to attract 1200 applicants this year by entertaining the false hope that they will let in the same numbers as previous years -- and now they get to play how they want.</p>
<p>yeah, i dont like this at all, if i would have known my odds at brown and duke were nothing, i would have tried for stanford and harvard probably, my odds would have been no better at these places</p>
<p>haha i know what you mean, bball....i almost didn't apply to harvard, yale, and columbia...thinking that i shouldn't try for schools harder than brown...but now it looks like i have a better shot at columbia and harvard than i have at brown.</p>
