Brown University Fall 2021 Transfer Thread

thank you, just found it! I just recently uploaded the documents to IDOC since I was having trouble acquiring them. Hopefully this does not impact my decision.

I received it as well.

Yes!

do yall think that the email about them shutting down the portal might mean decisions are coming soon after

I think so. I believe from previous threads that the portal shutdown indicates that admissions decisions would then be released a week later.

I wonder if they really meant it when they said they would be releasing the decisions ā€œin phases.ā€ I asked when the next wave then would be and they didnā€™t have the exact date for it. If anyone else could call and ask as well (since Iā€™ve called already and donā€™t want to be too obnoxious lol), itā€™d be really great! If there isnā€™t a release this week, Iā€™d probably guess they changed their mind and decided to release them all at once. So excited for the decision release. :slight_smile: :heart:

Thatā€™s about correct; they did the same thing with the first-year admissions. They sent an email saying the checklist would disappear on a certain date, which I think also said/implied that the review process had concluded. The checklist disappeared roughly a week (5-6 days?) before the Ivy Day on April 6, and the email was sent also around 5-6 days before the checklist disappeared. Also, in the past years, the checklist for transfer applicants seemed to disappear 3-5 days before the decision release. And as for the day of the week, they do seem to prefer the latter half of the week (i.e. Thursday or Friday; their earlier decision release for a small group of admits was on April 22, 2021, which is also a Thursday). If they follow the same pattern, then my best guess for the decision date (if they do all come out at once) would be either as early as May 6-7 or as late as May 13-14, but it can be completely off, of course haha. Maybe theyā€™ll do May 10 this year and completely catch me off guard. But one can hope they will come out this week! :pray:t3:

in its place it says ā€œIn preparation for releasing admission decisions in early May, the checklist on your Brown portal is no longer available for viewing. You may continue to upload any supplementary materials and updates below.ā€

Do you guys still have a withdrawal option on your portal?

No, it literally just disappeared.

What does it mean if the withdrawal option is gone?

I think itā€™s gone for all. We are stuck in the vortex of Brownā€™s admission decision timetable until end of week (hopefully). We cannot withdraw :slight_smile:

Is anyoneā€™s button still there?

Someone said that itā€™s been linked to rejection, but I have no clue about that. My withdraw button is gone as well.

It doesnā€™t mean anything. Itā€™s gone for all of us, most likely. :slight_smile:
