Brown waitlist 2023

that’s really strange, because there’s been two waves of acceptances for the last 4 years

and it seemed like a lot of people this year who got accepted to brown didn’t end up going, but that just might be confirmation bias idk

This cycle was ridiculous and I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t any more movement. Maybe one here or there because of an unexpected event in a student’s circumstances but I’d expect an email saying the class is full.

Maybe they’re still in the process of making decisions because only a portion of students taken off the waitlist accepted their offers?

this might be naivety talking, but i’m fairly certain there’ll be a second wave – it’s like a gut feeling if you will

we’ll see within the next couple of days i guess. good luck y’all

Hopefully there is a second wave :slight_smile:

I’m sure there will be. I doubt every single person from the first wave will accept and complete the class immediately.

Unless the majority accepted and it wouldn’t make sense to be sending out just a handful offers, and then a couple more…
Maybe they’re satisfied with the number they have right now.

maybe, but maybe not. we won’t know for sure yet

“We are still considering wait list cases, but haven’t decided on a second wave at this point. If we do move to a second wave, we anticipate that it will be a very small cohort.” - my regional AO

oof, chances are slim then :frowning:

Although our chances were ever never high, they now seem to be the slimmest. One can only hope.

honestly i feel like the endless waiting part of it is the worst oof :<

Yea this waiting really blows. But hopefully waiting for something good!

I’ve been following this thread everyday since March 28th so I though I’d create an account to help you guys the way you have been doing for me. I just got off the waitlist! I received an email citing a portal update. However, I’m not as happy as thought I’d be - they gave me no financial aid, so as an international student I might have to decline…

@jgsacco Did you apply for aid and they didn’t give it?

I have also recently gotten off the waitlist. Brown or UIUC CS? Indian international student btw

@jgsacco Hi, I’m international student too. Still on the waitlist unfortunately. Do you mind sharing information about materials that you have sent to them since your waitlist?

@dg112233 I would think UIUC’s CS program is higher ranked than Brown… how is the cost?
