<p>OM.G. I got in!</p>
<p>The admissions officer said they were mailing out acceptances today, but I’m not sure if that’s for internationals only or not.</p>
<p>He also said Brown has no deposit for admittance.</p>
<p>OMG IM GOING TO GO THROW MY METAPHORICAL STRESSBAKE CAKES OUT THE WINDOW NOW.</p>
<p>Two people were called back with acceptances already. That means everyone else who called was rejected, right?</p>
<p>I called about two minutes ago. Wonder if I’m one of the eighteen haha.</p>
<p>Congrats you guys! Very happy for both of you 
Still waiting for my news, whatever that may be!</p>
<p>Wait, so Brown is mailing the letters today? I thought they did so on Friday.</p>
<p>I’m international, so maybe the mailing times are different, but I didn’t ask to clarify.</p>
<p>*edit, im gonna remove that little thing about the 20 below because I think it unnecessarily freaks people out.</p>
<p>damage is done, dudboi. lol</p>
<p><em>FREAKED out</em></p>
<p>No I did not apply for FA. To be honest, and at the risk of sounding like a buzzkill, I feel like that has quite an effect on the decision. From what I’ve dug up in past threads no applicant who did not apply for FA was rejected, or even WLed for that matter. That part actually kinda disturbs me.</p>
<p>Moving on to stats:
Current: McGill Uni, first year
Going into: sophomore, if I transfer (slightly more complicated if I stay but that’s another discussion)
GPA: 4.0 first semester, final 3.91 (didn’t send that in yet, they never asked)
HS GPA: 4.25 weighted, I estimate around 3.99 unweighted
SAT: 2380, 780 in writing
SAT II: 800 Math II, 800 French w/ Listening, 790 Phys, 780 Chem
ECs: just a bit in first year of college, math society rep, helped organize a conference, played intramurals ultimate frisbee. Did student council, student newspaper, JV tennis in HS
Recs: One really good one, one iffy
Essays: honestly I’m not very good at telling whether a piece of my writing is good or not, but if anyone’s interested just PM me!</p>
<p>Applied: Columbia, Brown, Williams
Accepted: Brown
Rejected: Columbia
Pending: Williams</p>
<p>Undecided about my final decision</p>
<p>So the two that got in did not apply for FA… This doesn’t sound good for those who did… :(</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten anything in the mail yet? My mail comes in 3-4 hours.</p>
<p>Yes it is.</p>
<p>I got my mail today and nothing was from Brown. I live like thirty minutes away, too.</p>
<p>Just checked my mail…nothing. I live in MA</p>
<p>My mail just arrived and I got nothing. I live all the way down in Miami though</p>
<p>Man, it sucks that people who can’t pay for the school based on the circumstances they’re born into are at a substantial disadvantage.</p>
<p>What number are you guys calling? When I call 401-863-2378, I get an automated message…</p>
<p>has anybody been rejected over the phone yet?</p>
<p>ya so i didnt apply for aid… and im about to get rejected over the phone…</p>
<p>What is this about “20”? Haha can someone let me in on the secret?</p>
<p>@beefinbj thanks for your response! I think I’ll just wait it out because the decision is getting sent to my home address in the US.</p>
<p>wellesleygirl14,</p>
<p>That’s the right number. I definitely had to call two or three times before getting through. I’d imagine they are getting a lot of calls right now.</p>
