<p>other details: international student, have been studying in the states for the past 6 years. did not apply for FA.</p>
<p>Congrats! It’s a matter of hours now before the mail comes… :)</p>
<p>Congrats and condolences to those who have heard their decisions. And good luck for those waiting for their large envelope.</p>
<p>I hope some of you will consider adding your data to this thread in order to help future applicants better understand the relationship (if any) between FA and admissions at B:</p>

<p>So finally called Brown because I was tired of waiting. I got in!</p>
<p>By the way, my admissions portal just changed today, and it now includes “personal information” and “financial aid” tabs even though I didn’t apply for financial aid. So if you didn’t apply for financial aid, you might be able to determine whether you got in by checking your admissions portal.</p>
<p>Will you able to see any information in the personal information part?</p>
<p>I am so happy for you, transfer2010. I have been following this blog for who knows how long, and this is my first time actually posting a comment. I applied to Brown as a transfer, and I have not heard yet about whether I got in or not. And I do not have the guts to call in (I’ll wait for the letter). The other ivies I applied to have replied and it was a no, but I really hope Brown is a yes. It is afterall my top school. <em>Cross my fingers</em>*** </p>
<p>What school are you transfering from?</p>
<p>got the letter today - waitlisted! im actually really pleased about this in that it wasn’t a rejection. anyone know what the chances of getting off the waitlist are?</p>
<p>@transfers2010… congratulations!!! 
I do think a couple people said they could see those two tabs and then they got rejected though :(</p>
<p>first time posting on this website, but I haven’t gotten any letter yet (I live in the south, but I think if they sent it on Friday I would have gotten it by now–which makes me think that they sent it on Monday). Anyways, I can’t login to the Brown website anymore. I tried resetting my password and it wouldn’t let me. I think that probably means I got rejected, but I’m wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Or if everyone can still access the login?</p>
<p>I can still log in and everything as it was before. I was expecting the letter today but nothing came.</p>
<p>I can still log in as well but no letter, as far as I know! It should be getting sent to the west coast though, which might make a difference… especially if they were sent Monday. I’m expecting rejection myself but I would just like a definite answer so I can plan accordingly haha</p>
<p>I keep changing my plans around so that I make it home right before 3:30 so I can check my mail. I’m just going to assume rejection since I can no longer log in, but some sort of confirmation would be nice. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>So I just got my letter in the mail and I was accepted! Yay! But for second semester! Boo! Is anyone in the same situation?</p>
<p>@littleredparka can you post your stats?</p>
<p>ok,</p>
<p>When I log into Brown’s website now, I have the Financial Aid tab and Student Info tab.</p>
<p>The Student Info tab, upon clicking, says that “Only current Brown students have access to it.”</p>
<p>However, on the Financial Aid side, it gives me a list of documents that I have not yet satisfied and I must satisfy these to get my “Award.”</p>
<p>I have still not gotten word as to whether I have been accepted or not. Can anyone care to chime in if they are getting the same, if not, different results?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>^
That is exactly what happened to me today. The personal information and financial aid tabs appeared for the first time (and I get the same error message as you). I was admitted today via phone, so I think you may be in.</p>
<p>@adamajl44 sure thing.</p>
<p>-I attend a top 15 school as ranked by U.S. News
-First semester GPA: 3.74, High school GPA: 3.99
-SAT: 2290, 3 SAT II’s above 700
-ECs: A fair amount, but nothing particularly groundbreaking.
-Recs: I had small classes with both of the professors I asked to write my recs and frequently went to talk to them outside of class.
-Other: I applied to Brown for IR because my school doesn’t have a program for it. I applied last year, but was rejected.</p>
<p>I’m obviously extremely grateful to have been accepted to Brown at all, but it does make things more difficult. It was a bittersweet moment opening the decision letter.</p>
<p>Based on the stats posted by some of the admits, I ought to be accepted because my stats are similar, if not better (sorry if it sounds condescending but it’s just stats). I applied for FA though so that might knock me down. I can’t wait for the letter… Oh and I can see all three tabs and the same message pops up as the messages mentioned above…</p>
<p>But, does anyone know how much of the tuition is covered by Brown’s FA award? Do they leave a lot to loans and personal payments?</p>
<p>^ I have similar stats to those who are accepted and didn’t apply for FA but found out I didn’t get in today (through snail mail).</p>
<p>^ when u log in can you see all 3 tabs and get the results aformentioned above? ie: fin aid rewards, etc. ?</p>
