<p>I have never recieved any mail from Brown University. I’ve received applications and brochures from UPenn, Columbia, Harvard, Cornell, Stanford, Northwestern, USC, Princeton, Amherst, Pomona but never ever from either Brown nor Yale. Is there a reason for this? I’m a national hispanic scholar and a national commended scholar. Do these two schools just not believe in sending much mail to students? Have any of you received anything from Brown or Yale before? Also, does this decrease my chances of getting in? Do they look at who they’ve mailed things to or whose on their mailing list all that much?</p>
<p>dude, you have to put yourself on their mailing list. just request info from their website, or you can print out the brown app directly from their website</p>
<p>The amount of mail you get from a school has no bearing on whether they'll accept you or not. Yale sends me mail but I wouldn't be accepted there. Rider University has sent me no mail but I'm pretty sure they would accept me if I applied.</p>
<p>yeah I just put myself on their mailing list but is that usually the only way Brown sends information. Do they usually send less brochures and applications than other schools like the ones I previously mentioned?</p>
<p>Harvard and WUSTL (which you didn't mention) are infamous for spamming people with mail. I think different schools just target different people for spamming. Seriously, don't worry about it. Just because they don't send you something doesn't mean they don't want you as an applicant. Because they do.</p>
<p>Yeah, don't over-think it. Some colleges spam, some don't.</p>
