<p>Brown website says the decisions will be available online on the 31st. It doesn’t reference any specific time like the emails suggest.
Sounds like you can check any time. I have no idea why they would have sent these emails with different times to check if the web site doesn’t say anything like that. </p>

<p>@ joe : no significance if you did not get an email…join the club…</p>
<p>nothinbutnet247: Perhaps they didn’t want to specify a time that didn’t apply to anyone or confuse people by saying “Your decision will be available at 5:00 or 5:30 or 6:00 or 6:30… oh, in any time zone…”</p>
<p>ed deffered</p>
<p>no e-mail D:</p>
<p>Does any international student get the mail?</p>
<p>yep, I am an international student and I got the same e-mail saying my decision will be available @5:00</p>
<p>That’s too bad…does it mean anything bad if i have not got it?</p>
<p>no it doesn’t
with the astounding increase in applicants well things do happen…</p>
<p>you’ve activated your account though right?</p>
<p>I must admit, when I found this thread I started hyperventilating as I never ever got the email! I can only hope it was a server mistake of some sort and not a portent of a negative admissions decision. 
</p>
<p>And I know my account is activated and my application complete, as I compulsively check all my schools’ websites every morning. Hm… </p>
<p>Anyone else never receive one?</p>
<p>there’s an entire thread for people who didn’t get an email. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Oops, I suppose I should have read through all the threads more carefully. I’ll go check that one out. Thanks for the reassurance. :)</p>
<p>i’m guessing all decisions are posted online at 5pm EST, and the whole time thing is just to disperse the checking time so the website won’t crash. i suggest that everyone log in at 4 50pm EST and obsessively refresh your page :p</p>
<p>^Wow. If the server crashes, Brown will have 25,000 applicants who will have a massive heart attack.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when they send letters?
maybe couple days after 31st ??
like on friday??</p>
<p>ahh i really wish i get in</p>
<p>They mail the letters on the 31st, you should receive them by Friday at the latest, as long as you live in the states.</p>
<p>i got the msg on the 11th…<em>shudder</em></p>
<p>hi, anyone got email last week from brown reminding to log in?</p>
<p>Yeah a while ago… on the 11th I think</p>
<p>thanks. </p>
<p>Like most of applicants, I got email around 3/11</p>
<p>I intended to activate account only couple of days before 3/31 …so didn’t bother</p>
<p>but then I also got email on 3/24 recommending me to activate my account…</p>
<p>just being courteous…?</p>
