I applied two weeks ago but

<p>I think it’s because I sent 3 SAT Subject scores and they actually do require 2, so it’s okay.</p>

<p>well, technically you can’t really now if they received both through the website, they only thing you can do is call them. btw take a look to this photo, our files are there!!! <a href=“http://today.brown.edu/files/images/TAB1-06-10THIS.jpg[/url]”>Web Login Service;

<p>^WHOA!! lr!! ur amazing!!
first of all, u showed me how to check my brown app status
then you show me a pic of the actual files!! which i’ve never seen in my life!! =OOO</p>

<p>but daaaaang look at all of those applicants</p>

<p>i am a secret agent! hahahhhaahhaha just kidding</p>

<p>That photo is amazing. It seriously just made all this real to me. All that competition!</p>

<p>it’s amazing how rare things get lost with all of those papers holy coww</p>

<p>now i’m not gonna take for granted the fact that some schools have already received and processed all of my application materials</p>

<p>i wonder how the boxes are sorted!</p>

<p>maybe in order of increasing SAT score hmmmmmm :slight_smile: (:</p>

<p>the boxes are normally sorted by Last name initial, A-Z.</p>

<p>^ahhh you know everything!!:):)</p>

<p>in some way, hahahaha no it’s just an assumption, i think is the only way they can keep things organized.</p>

<p>duh what happened to my common sense?</p>

<p>sincerely, idk. hehehhe</p>

<p>omg thanks for the photo! thats amazing :open_mouth:
I can’t believe they do it on paper (can you imagine printing those all out and sorting them) makes me nervous- so much room for human error :confused:
I thought they would read them on the comp and make decisions electronically. now theres the fear that they’ll toss your app in the 'reject" pile by accident!</p>

<p>

WOW 20 adcoms for 30,000 apps?! that’s absurd</p>

<p>and I’m pretty sure most of the other ivies do their electronically…</p>

<p>I did some math in the Harvard forum for reading 30,000 applications by April 1 and came to about 30 minutes per application. A little less than that to leave time for re-reads of some. Now that’s really not that bad considering the huge volume.</p>

<p>I don’t think I trust those people in the picture…they look too young and OMG LOOK AT THE GIRL IN THE GRAY SWEATER SHE’S LAUGHING AT SOMEONE’S SAT SCORES!!!</p>

<p>eta: Why does the gray sweater say Syracuse?</p>

<p>Nevermind, I read the article… it says “Students from Brown and other colleges sort application materials.”</p>

<p>

I just LoL’ed at this :D</p>

<p>they should use online means to go thru applications. in the days of slates/tablet pcs, seems
like a picture from the past.</p>

<p>ok, honestly, there is no way they could scrutinize every single application (look at the picture!!)</p>

<p>i’d bet my life that they have a system where some are automatically rejected upon the first glance</p>

<p>ITA, there must be some sort of pre-screening involved.</p>
