<p>You are incorrect, giterdone. Brown does not telegraph decisions in this way. My daughter never even received the decision time email prior to her acceptance in '10.</p>
<p>^ that’s my point. NU has an automated system; didn’t correspond about FA = rejected. UMich has an automated system; DID correspond about FA = accepted.</p>
<p>Brown has automated system; DIDN’T correspond on FA = ???</p>
<p>@Gourmetmom - how’d she find out? did it go into spam?</p>
<p>If you didn’t apply for financial aid, and you marked it on your applications, some schools won’t send you those emails. </p>
<p>It’s strange that that happened with your daughter, but I don’t think that’s indicative of anything “regular”.</p>
<p>She logged onto the portal at 5:00 and clicked the decision button. My son applied this year and he has not received any emails other than the original account setup information in January.</p>
<p>Anyone who did not receive the recent admissions time email can log-in here with their username and password:</p>

<p>You should see a screen with your name that says your admission decision will be available this evening. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!!!</p>
<p>I didn’t get anything beyond the account setup email last year, and I’m a first year at Brown now :)</p>
<p>Also, the times definitely didn’t mean anything last year - I think they were by your specific admissions officer, but regardless they didn’t indicate anything. </p>
<p>Stay calm and find something to distract yourself until later, and it will all work out in the end. I have faith in all of you and wish you all the best! Even if you don’t get into your top choice, you WILL fall in love with the school you attend, so don’t stress about the decisions today too much. I didn’t get into my top choice and it didn’t even matter in the long run, so just enjoy the ride!</p>
<p>Also, I can’t wait to meet some of you in the fall 
I’ll be a Meiklejohn next year so feel free to message me with questions if you get in!</p>
<p>Well, my head tells me that its just coincidence. But it was hard to ignore the common thread. Easy for the imagination to run away with you at this point.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Haha no problem. I remember all the spazzing that took place last year when they sent out the times :P</p>
<p>@NewtoCollege Brown is also the only Ivy I applied to… I’m waiting on a decision from Duke also today. Sooooo nervous! I don’t think I will get accepted to either…</p>
<p>The only reason I was hesitant to click on what I thought was the actual admission decisions, was because, as many of you know, seeing a rejection has a tendency to ruin one’s day. And considering that I have three tests today, I don’t think that receiving a rejection would go over well. So… better to wallow over rejections AFTER I get home, I guess. Haha. ■■■</p>
<p>Some of the comments made in the last few hours regarding submitting paperwork and then never hearing from Brown again remind me of the unresolved aspect of those “Life after Brown” emails and such that some of the applicants were receiving along the way. Perhaps the students are guinea pigs with marketing techniques? Whatever the reason that some received them and some did not, all shall be made known very soon…Good luck future Brown Bears–or Golden Bears, or Purple Cows, or Eagles, or whatever you choose.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone–I’m a 7pm-er, so I’ll be getting denied in two hours!</p>
<p>I clicked the view decision link and I see this: Thank you for your patience. We are sorry to report our system is experiencing high levels of activity. Please close this window and try to login again in a little while.</p>
<p>Rejected from Brown and Dartmouth…</p>
<p>Also rejected from Brown and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Accepted! But only $6k in financial aid. D: There’s no way my parents can pay the rest. I’m wishing there was a mistake 'cause I got much more everywhere else.</p>
<p>Just got accepted to Penn! My brown decision is in an hour. So excited!</p>
<p>Rejected. :(</p>
<p>From UChicago and Brown
these past few weeks haven’t been too nice…</p>
