@nero64 I still can upload supplements, but I doubt that has anything to do with admissions since some people are saying that that box has been disappearing and reappearing on their portal. I really don’t think Brown would be dumb enough to give out a substantial clue like that.

But my application has been processed, so it’s kinda strange that I can still upload supplements after all of that. IDK why the option’s still there. I guess it could mean deferral, but again, I don’t think Brown would make it as obvious as that.

1062

Yeah, my supplement box disappeared for like a day but now is there again.

1063

@ap012199 Yes, I bet it does mean something. Because if they don’t accept you to ED, they may want to encourage us to submit other supplementary materials. So that option still exists for those not accepted ED. I guess we will find out soon enough but I’m feeling like that’s what is happening here.

1064

@greeksalad123 ok, but if that were the case, then wouldn’t the box be disappearing for applicants who were rejected?

1065

And what happens for people who have it disappearing and reappearing? Unlikely they’d be changing their minds

1066

@aidanmc9 has your application been processed? I think mine has been processed since I got my Brown account, so that’s probably irrelevant.

1067

@comicsans yeah. It’s very rare that admissions give a second thought to a decision they’ve already made. They just don’t have time to do that.

1068

@ap012199 Who do we know were
rejected? What did we learn from them?

1069

For my portal it says that they’re “continuing to process application materials,” for me. To be honest I think that many of you are becoming paranoid over things that probably don’t indicate anything. Let’s all just wait until Wednesday at 5pm and not over scrutinize because clearly everyone on CC that has posted so far is more than qualified and deserves to be admitted to Brown. Good luck everyone!!

@ap012199 though to be fair if there’s anything we’ve learned in the past few days, it’s that brown seems to make these sorts of computer mistakes :’)

1071

@comicsans…thanks re: summer@brown answer…do you know what they are seeing now? still have access? etc. my suppl thing disappeared last week.

1072

@ap012199…i think we are all just trying to find ‘anything’ to give us a clue and truthfully, none of us knows anything. this truly sucks.

1073

i only have 1 tab

1074

@allima same here :slight_smile: did you apply for financial aid? if you didn’t, you’ll just have “student”

1075

If my box hasn’t changed at all, does that mean they haven’t made a decision yet?

1076

@nero64 if im not wrong they have access to like… meal plans and a proxy tab and whatnot

1077

Did all of you get asked for quarter grades?

1078

@mgei77 I don’t think quarter grades are something to worry about. I think it’s been confirmed that getting asked for quarter grades is not indicative as to whether one was accepted and probably depends on the school - Everyone from my school applying ED to Brown had quarter grades requested.

1079

For those who still have the option to submit supplementary materials–when you click on upload is the link expired/ let me know!!!

1080

How do you check if you can still submit supplementary stuff?
