<p>I sent in everything around November 15th but I haven’t gotten anything from Brandeis to say that they have received my application- no email, no letter, nothing. Did anybody else apply, and have you or haven’t you gotten a confirmation from them? If everyone else got some kind of notification then I suppose I’ll have to call. Thanks!</p>
<p>^ I applied last week and haven’t received an email or any sort of confirmation.</p>
<p>I applied ED last year. I don’t remember getting anything prior to the letter in the mail. They say you will hear on December 15, but you may hear a day or two earlier. If you do get an acceptance letter you will probably not get much more information until the RD applicants get their letters. I remember this lack of information felt odd, but ultimately you will be filled in. Good luck to you both.</p>
<p>I applied ED around November 9 and the next week I got a postcard that said they hadn’t received my school stuff yet. The card looked like it was only meant if everything hadn’t been received yet, so I wouldn’t worry too much! </p>
<p>By the way, good luck!! I hope we get to be fellow Brandeisians next year!</p>

<p>By the way Kirby27…since I live pretty close to B-deis, should I expect to hear before 12/15?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if Brandeis often defers its ED applicants?</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses! I applied RD (I guess it’s more like EA because I used that priority application offer that said we’d find out by February). I was just afraid I messed something up because I’d really like to go to Brandeis! </p>
<p>Good luck to all the other applicants!</p>
<p>natedogg6693-im not sure if there is a correlation between how far you live and when you hear back. When I was reading the forums hear last year, most of the kids got their letters on the 14th.</p>
<p>I applied November 1st of this year for Spring 2011 transfer, received no notification whatsoever (but apparently, with Brandeis- no news is good news) on December 2nd they emailed me my acceptance letter! So hold tight! The wait is worth it!</p>
<p>kirby27 - I believe the distance/date correlation has to do with their policy of notifying by snail mail only. When a batch of letters is mailed from Waltham, an applicant in Newton, MA will receive it before an applicant in San Francisco, CA.</p>
<p>I’m curious about 6164CZ receiving an acceptance email. Has this always been the case for transfers?</p>
<p>We are in CA and the rest of our family will be leaving for our annual ski trip on 12/17. I will stay here with our daughter to await her ED decision if she hasn’t heard by then. I don’t have the heart to have the mail held and make her wait until 1/3 to find out.</p>
<p>ynottry-this brings up a good point. i would normally agree that the closer you live the faster the mail gets to you, but i found this to be false. Last year, kids from the midwest were posting on here that they received letters before Massachusetts residents.</p>
<p>I was unaware that Brandeis e-mailed notifications. I think this may be for transfer students only, but certainly do not quote me on that.</p>
<p>thanks for all the info! Just to know what to expect - does the thick letter/thin letter conception hold true at Brandeis?</p>
<p>Just to update, today I did get a postcard from them.</p>
<p>“Greetings from Brandeis! We have received your application and are excited to begin reviewing your credentials for admission…etc… We will be using this address [they put my email on the card] to correspond with you in the future about the status of your application…”</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>I forgot about the postcard. </p>
<p>natedogg6693- you will know the decision from the outside of the envelope. The acceptance letter comes in a large envelope that says “congratulations” on the front.</p>
