<p>OMG sooo many applications. That picture looks intimidating. </p>
<p>Though they should seriously switch to electronic…or is this just the people who sent out hard copies?</p>
<p>There’s no way THAT many people sent paper apps.
they said like only 5% of applicants do that</p>
<p>guys! relax, remember that we send the app online BUT many counselors (like mine) decided to send the recs by paper, also there are letters that people send to strength the application etc. and all that has to be on the file. I think they should scan all the papers and make it digital, but can you imagine someone scanning each paper!?</p>
<p>nooo they print out all the ones sent electronically
it all ends up as hard copies</p>
<p>what??? omg, so i think they use 1000 gallons of ink. hhahahaha</p>
<p>Bleh I don’t like the thought of leaving the processing of my application materials up to college students/humans in general who are more prone to error than computers</p>
<p>^same. it’s very unnerving! :(</p>
<p>My teacher recs STILL haven’t been recorded as “Received” !!! They were sent in early November…sigh…</p>
<p>p.s. I’ve already emailed them. They told me everything will be fine…just wait. But after looking at that PICTURE!!! UGH.</p>
<p>This thread is amusing 
Everyone needs to calm down! What’s the worst that could happen? If, somehow, a piece of your application is misplaced or processed incorrectly, they will email you in a few weeks time. You’ll fax in the document in question and it will be as if nothing ever happened :)</p>
<p>^notice the username: evertheoptimist
how fitting! :p</p>
<p>oohh yeah!</p>
<p>lr2010: how did u ever figure out how to do this?!~</p>
<p>I was quite the optomist myself before, but now that I’ve seen the sheer mass of competition, I’m buggin out a little bit.</p>
<p>^hopelovestrength | I just discovered in my desperation like i said before, i filled out and TARAN!! i got my login info!</p>
<p>Where did you hear that Brown sends log in info on Jan. 20? I applied Dec. 26 and have heard nothing yet.</p>
<p>It says it on their main page. Try doing the login trick described earlier in this thread. It worked for me recently.</p>
<p>i have not even gotten a portal…</p>
<p>follow my trick</p>
<p>FYI, I tried doing the “trick” last week and it didn’t work. Tried it Sunday and it worked! Don’t get stressed out if they haven’t contacted you; it is true when people say they are overloaded. Be patient people! :)</p>
<p>ok for first time in this month i tell you guys to be patient, tomorrow they will send the login info so don’t worry!</p>
