Brown University Transfer Waiting Room 2013

<p>Nothing here! Anyone get any news good or bad?</p>

<p>No, nothing. Has anyone called in to ask?</p>

<p>They said they will have an update Friday afternoon for the transfer waitlist (so really Monday or Tuesday) ā€¦ UGH!</p>

<p>Has anyone got any confirmation that the Adcom has received your letter or email with your wish to stay on the waitlist?</p>

<p>I received a letter in the mail, but I mailed off a letter, so thatā€™s probably why.</p>

<p>I have a gut feeling no one will get off the wait listā€¦ But Iā€™ll call for an update around 3 to see what the lovely man from admissions has to say about us!</p>

<p>I heard no one was taken from freshman RD waitlist this year.</p>

<p>Thanks, lexieam! Fingers still crossed, albeit with a sinking feeling in my stomachā€¦</p>

<p>First off, good luck to all you guys. Your dedication to Brown is incredibly admirable and I wish you all the best, with Brown and your future.</p>

<p>As a prospective Fall 2014 transfer applicant, how do you think the higher-than-anticipated yield rate will affect transfer admissions next year? Will Brown lower the number of freshman admits in the belief the yield rate will remain high? Will that result in fewer transfer admits?</p>

<p>Transfer admit and freshman admit rates arenā€™t related, so donā€™t worry. It depends on the retention rate of sophomore and junior rates, depending on which class youā€™re transferring into. That said, Brownā€™s freshman yield rate this year was higher than expected, which means that there might be less slots available. It mostly depends on their retention rate. (I hope that made sense.) Best of luck with your application! :)</p>

<p>Calls go out Monday for transfer wait list! Good luck to all of us! :)</p>

<p>I called too and they said EARLY next week decision go outā€¦so Iā€™m guessing they are not going to the wait list this yearā€¦</p>

<p>Hi Everyone! ksyar2001, why do you say that? Good Luck to Everyone! :)</p>

<p>I mean if its Monday that means they are not taking time to look at our applicationsā€¦</p>

<p>Apparently theyā€™ve already reviewed applications! I talked to the transfer coordinator todayā€¦</p>

<p>Whoa. I guess my assumption was wrong. Well Good luck people.</p>

<p>We still have hope! :slight_smile: What majors (concentration) are you guys applying as?</p>

<p>Iā€™m neuroscience and public health, which is supremely competitive! But I have hope!</p>

<p>Did anyone receive a call today?</p>

<p>I decided to take a 25 minute nap and MISSED a call from Brown! Last time I take a napā€¦ ;)</p>

<p>Of course, admissions is closed now and Iā€™m waiting til Mondayā€¦ but they wouldnā€™t call to reject all the applicants, would they? Iā€™m losing it, haha.</p>

<p>I canā€™t imagine they would call to reject applicants! They may have been calling to admit you or call for some more information, but it seems to me that congratulations are in order :)</p>
