I just did. No more decision before 5/10 for me

Rejected. It just feels so discouraging now that it’s finals week for me. Anyway, Congrats to all that got accepted.

Hey there! Firstly, congrats on getting on the waitlist!! I’ve seen your username from various threads and noticed that you attend PCC ( I think.) You should definitely appeal, and I think the best way would be to send them a letter. Even better would be getting featured on the school’s newspaper, and possibly, conveying to the readers ( Brown’s admission officers) why you should attend Brown. Feel free to PM me if you’re interested in getting interviewed! Thank you, and congratulations!!
