OFFICIAL Brown 2009 Transfers Thread

<p>I agree. It seems like they may have already made the decision and moved the people that were accepted into Spring into Spring.</p>

<p>Or possibly they are now reviewing applications for the spring. If you didn’t make it for the fall, you may have been moved to the spring pile. But I don’t think any one should get their hopes up that having spring means an acceptance. College admissions can be very tricky.</p>

<p>Well, while I’d love to think they moved people that were denied from fall to the spring (then I’d be accepted for fall!) I doubt that, haha. Unless, they just kept the absolute denials in the fall. </p>

<p>Ok, so maybe I’m over-analyzing it.</p>

<p>arcadefire1027 brings up a valid point - if one is denied, what is the point of changing the season of potential enrollment? Fall 2009 may be more cut and dry - accept, deny. Spring 2010 could just mean accept. Waitlist could fall into any either…This is all terribly speculative and over-analytical.</p>

<p>“This is all terribly speculative and over-analytical.”</p>

<p>That’s been my life the past two months.</p>

<p>yeah mine said it was moved to spring 2010 too…</p>

<p>Laxman, can you use any of the options in the Brown menu?? Like the register, financial aid, etc?? I think it really sounds like you were accepted for the Spring or are being considered for the Spring unlike the majority of us lol</p>

<p>i was looking at my financial aid page, and it said i still had some outstanding materials. it said i’d get an email if any materials were missing. should i interpret that as a rejection, since why would the financial aid office bother asking for those materials if i wasnt going to be accepted?</p>

<p>I’m pretty concerned about the Financial Aid aspect, given I am unable to submit my parents 2008 tax returns because my parents haven’t completed them (they’re in the middle of a divorce–there’s nothing I can do to get the forms completed any faster). </p>

<p>Since Brown isn’t need-blind for transfers, that means I’m basically asking them to accept me without knowing my up-to-date financial situation. Then again, if they assumed the worst, they would be right. </p>

<p>Hakuna matata?</p>

<p>Giacomo, interesting enough - my financial aid information page JUST changed today. Finally “waived” the IDOC package and now says I need to send in my 2008 tax returns as well as my parents. Thing sat in limbo for like a month and a half. ::sigh:: No e-mail either.</p>

<p>stewartudall, I actually never checked the financial aid page till tonight, but when I did the same thing showed up: “waived” IDOC package and they say they need my mine and my parents 2008 taxes (though a message below the outstanding materials says they only need my parents???) </p>

<p>so is this good/bad/neither? brown has been my dream all year. alas, i do have georgetown if all else fails…</p>

<p>I’m so excited (and ready to be disappointed) I just can’t take it! I’m gonna throw 10 parties if I get in! I just wish I could go back in time and write a better essay…</p>

<p>I’ll sacrifice 100 goats and two of my most prized cows to Athena.</p>

<p>nah, maybe its a glitch. Anyways, I’m already into davidson, so at least I know I don’t have to come back</p>

<p>Brown?! Glitches!? Blasphemy!</p>

<p>congrats laxman! i live right by davidson, great school. stephen left though :(</p>
