<p>Can I expect a letter next week since the committee won’t be sitting for any further consideration?</p>
<p>next week is when you would have gotten it anyway</p>
<p>No my friend, if Brown were to draw heavily from the waitlist, it would send only the acceptance letters by next week. The final rejections would only have arrived by June 15th.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure everyone gets a letter for the first round, either an acceptance, a rejection, or a "you're still on the list" at least that's what I heard from my guidance counselor last year.</p>
<p>Yes, everyone gets a letter but not necessarily a rejection letter. Its either an acceptance or "you're still on the list".
My question was with regard to rejections, as Brown would be taking no one from the wait list this year.</p>
<p>i was waitlisted last year (and eventually rejected). i dont recall getting a "you're still on the list" letter. the only letter i remember getting was the rejection letter, which came mid july.</p>
<p>well i was on waitlists for hopkins and Penn in addition to Brown, and I got letters at the same time from all three, rejections from Penn and Hopkins, so i guess if they indeed take no one, you will hear.</p>
<p>Evidently everyone will hear back by mid June... </p>
<p>I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Brown does not anticipate going to the wait list this year as there has been a higher-than-normal percentage of accepted kids matriculating. </p>
<p>I am so sorry for anyone who is waiting... but it is probably a good idea to move on. Hugs all around.</p>
<p>Is there a seperate waitlist for transfers and freshman applicants?</p>
<p>i would assume so</p>
<p>SB mom...how do you know for sure?</p>
<p>I got an update, as an alumni interviewer.</p>
<p>anyone get letters yet? i got mine last year on tues. may 17th, and i got mine a day later than my friend, so people should have heard by now.</p>
<p>That's wierd, cause I spoke to my alumni interviewer a week or so ago and I asked her if she knew how many people were on the waitlist and she had no idea. All she knew was that I was waitlisted and she told me that she knew a lot of people who were waitlisted and then accepted. I am not questioning your validity or anything, i just don't want to believe it unitl I get the rejection letter, ya know?</p>
<p>Nobody is trying to make you believe it. But just telling you be prepared for the "likelyness" of waitlist rejection. So, its good to keep your hope up, but don't count on it.</p>
<p>For your sake I hope I am wrong but this is the info I have.</p>
<p>I got a letter in the mail today that said I was taken off the wait list.</p>
<p>Where do you live?</p>
<p>Near Boston--the letter was dated March 15th.</p>
<p>And are you going?</p>
