I just submitted my Application. How long does it take until I receive the portal?
Could be several weeks. Remember that it’s currently a holiday and Brown’s admissions officers are probably enjoying some time with their families. Even when they do get back to work, it takes the Information Services staff up to a few weeks to create accounts for every single applicant.
If they use the same system as most other schools, the whole process should be automated. It doesn’t matter if the staffs are on vacation or not, the system will create the portal for you and match the SAT/ACTs and teacher recs etc. If they are relying on people to do this, they are way behind the curve.
My daughter applied yesterday and got email with link to portal today.
@sethkuwen , have you received your portal email?
If not, use this trick: Go to http://https://apply.college.brown.edu/apply/status, when prompted for email and password, click the “Forgot Password” link, and let it send you a new PIN number. Follow the instruction to enter the PIN and create your portal password.
