Brown University Class of 2019 RD Applicants

Phone interviews are a whole different ball game; at least you guys had the guts to go through with it, you could have declined - so congrats for getting through it!

@marshmallowpop my interviewer broke the “rules” too! He asked me what other schools I applied to, which was so awks, but I think he was just trying to gauge overall what caliber college I am aiming to attend. I like to think I would have said something if I was asked for my SAT score, but lol in reality I probably would have complied. Don’t worry too much!!

lol yeah, I applied to around 16 schools, 11 in the states, and then 5 in canada, so I may have left a couple out… but I did mention that Brown was my first choice, and was able to properly answer her Why Brown? question. Apparently, one of the kids she interviewed didn’t even know about the open curriculum.

I’m so confused :frowning: I haven’t gotten my Portal info yet :confused:

@Castigations‌ 0.0 are you sure?! Check your junk box first, then double check what email you used on your application if it’s not in your junk. But to quickly get this sorted out just call them.

@Castigations Brown sent out an email about a month ago saying that if you don’t receive your portal by Jan 29th, you need to call them - I would notify the admissions office asap!! I’m sure it was just a technical oversight or something of the likes. Did you submit your app on time?

I found it :slight_smile: The link they sent me was only for account management. I emailed them and they sent me the correct link :P. How long does it take for them to receive scores, because I sent out my January subject test score and they haven’t received it yet :o. I sent it a few days ago after I got it back

@Castigations It depends on when they decide to download scores next, but don’t fret - it took about 3 days for my scores to arrive, and that wasn’t “rush shipping” (or whatever college board calls it). So yours should should be there soon :slight_smile:

i got a letter in the mail addressed to my dad (he went to brown) saying they were excited that i applied…anyone else get one?

@himymlover, I didn’t get any letter but i have to say I love HIMYM! I’m binge watching it on Netflix and i can’t get enough lol

@Anduar3‌ Check out Friends too. Great show as well.

@anduar3 @hawkace I’m watching Friends rn lol

These letters used to say that that Brown was “pleased”. They now say they are “excited”?

I assumed, never asked, that all alumni with children applying receive this letter.

@mlegoldstein‌ @hawkace, I love friends!! I have the complete series on DVD, plus I’m watching random episodes on Netflix lol

@anduar3 @hawkace @mlegoldstein‌ I haven’t had a chance to reply to this thread yet, but I have to now: Friends is my favorite show.

@Anduar3‌ HIMYM is the greatest show ever! i binge watch it all the time lol

@fizzy110‌ lol my Princeton interview did that! But I only mentioned like 3 other schools (out of my list of 16-17 haha).
HIMYM was soooooo great, until the last season. Actually, the last episode. That one episode was such crap. They undid like 7 seasons of character development for Barney, Robin, and Ted in like five seconds. Ugh.

Shhhh please no HIMYM spoilers! Haha, sorry, I just plan on watching it from the beginning sometime soon.

@fenwaypark‌ My mom went to Brown and we got one as well… I almost positive they go to all legacy applicants.

Does anybody know if Brown sends likely letters. And if so, when?

Sorry guys, but I think that Friends is far greater than HIMYM.

I’m a true Friender (Is that a thing?) through and through.
