I don’t think calling would reverse your decision at all.
RD; 5:00 in Maryland.
I think they might’ve just staggered the times so the site doesn’t crash from the amount of traffic.
I’ve been trying so hard not to read into anything for college decisions but this has thrown me!
Yeah a lot of colleges do that, and they don’t always do it geographically. I doubt they would do all the acceptances early or anything like that
For Williams, they announced decisions at 6 but all the rejections didn’t come out until around 6:45. That being said, I don’t think Brown would want to put out that kind of info two days before decisions because kids would read into it…
It might be release decisions alphabetically.
RD 5pm New york
@Mitrak Williams College did (but they didn’t tell us), all the accepted/waitlisted got theirs about half an hour before the rejected.
But yeah, spreading out to prevent the site from crashing makes sense and as so many have said we really shouldn’t be reading into it.
Soooo who’s brave enough to call and ask?
they could be releasing all decisions at the same time–they might just be sending us different times to reduce traffic. I doubt they’d do something so obvious as an indication of admission.
Then again, Brown made the ED decisions quite obvious with the supplemental box…
@anaheim can you explain?
what happened with the supplement box for ED applicants? @anaheim
@anaheim What happened with the supplemental box?
5:00 in NJ and I applied RD. Last name starts with L.
During the ED round this year, Brown removed some supplemental boxes on the portals while others had it on there. To put it simply, if you had the box, you were deferred, if you didn’t, you were accepted or rejected. I don’t think they would do something that obvious again…
It disappeared for rejected applicants, while it stayed for deferred applicants – so that they could upload materials to be considered for admission.
This is so random.
Seems random to me. It could honestly have something to do with email addresses as well. We shouldn’t read into it.
Looks like the northeast is all 5pm states like Florida and Ohio (southeast/midwest maybe?) are 5:30. Probably just staggered regionally.
