<p>fhg, i edited my pos so that you can see my ECs and awards.
acadec you should have received a letter in the mail from brown early january saying that they received form 1 of the application. in the letter, you get a brown username and a password you should change. you use that username to log in and check. it's the username you also used to track your application.</p>

<p>Thanks! You give me hope for next year, you're from the more normal number of ec's end of the world like me (you seem very dedicated to them :)).</p>

<p>Got wait listed...applied for PLME. :(</p>
