<p>My guidance counselor came to my class today to tell me that Brown had called her to tell her that they have all my materials except my application. I haven’t applied yet because I am applying ED to Penn and want to see if I get in there before shelling out the money to all my RD school (I’m applying to Brown RD too). Do you think this is standard for kids whose app’s might be lost? It seems more likely that if they were missing the application they’d go straight to the applicant. If that’s true, does it mean Brown is very interested in me???</p>
<p>lol, how do they know you're applying if you haven't applied yet? Maybe they just received the stuff from your counselor and thought that you meant to be applying ED...</p>
<p>yeah thats possible I guess they got my recs and my transcript...but what I was asking was more whether that meant that they LIKED my recs and my transcript and contacted my gc in order to make sure that I was applying</p>
<p>No. They aren't reading RD applications right now, they're just trying to get through all of the ED ones, so they wouldn't have looked at them.</p>
<p>maybe not enough of your contact info was on your transcript and recs so they could only contact you through your guidance counselor? otherwise, can you think of any reason why they would be interested in you, other than grades and recs?</p>
<p>It's probably likely that receiving materials (without either section of the app in, which means they can't officially have your contact info) that they used the contact info provided on a recommendation letter to wonder, "What's up, why do we have all of this material from you without an app so we can make an official file? Was this intended for ED?", especially since recommendations and transcripts usually come post application or very much at the same time/end of the process.</p>
