Missed Regular Decision

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University
1

<p>So, I decided to apply to Brown University using regular decision because I didn’t want the binding decision that comes with early decision. My common app is all ready and I have all my recommendations. But my school messed up on sending my transcripts. I asked them to send it to 4 schools, but they forgot about brown. Because it’s winter break I can’t get my transcript sent out until Jan 3 at the earliest and the RD deadline is the 2nd.</p>

<p>What are my chances that they would accept my application if it’s a day or two late?</p>

<p>No worries. If all your materials are in, you should be fine. As long as the school doesn’t send it, you know, several weeks late.</p>

<p>As above, you don’t get penalized for someone else’s tardiness unless it’s so egregious they can’t work around it</p>

<p>are transcripts required? there’s no word about them on commonapp,they only say to submit them if your school doesn’t have standartized exams.</p>

5

<p>Transcripts are required. It is part of the “school forms” on the Common App, I suppose.
Brown, and all other universities, state this on their website.</p>

<p>So are you guys saying they just want the Common App by Jan 1? Because I know Northwestern just wants the CommonApp, not even the suplements, by tomorrow. Like if I don’t turn in my transcripts or a rec by today, would they throw out my application?</p>

<p>Penguin–they won’t throw out your application if every piece is not in today. Your Common App is what is needed by the deadline–just get everything else in asap.</p>

<p>Your supplements should really be in as well - not just the Common App. Basically, they want everything from you by 1/1. Things from your school/teachers/other people can come later.</p>
