Official Brown Fall 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>sorry, I did not see the additional posts before I sent my last reply. I was informed that decisions will definitely be before next Wednesday. Since I spoke with administrative staff (Admissons Officer is busy), no further detail was available except that decisions are expected prior to next Wednesday.</p>

<p>Honestly as annoying as it seems, they have to be expecting the huge amount of callers…especially because they’ve changed the date so much and it’s getting kind of urgent for some people</p>

<p>I’m betting that next year they correct this issue.</p>

<p>The discrepancy in when they release decisions?</p>

<p>Yeah. I mean, it isn’t any good for them to have to put up with calls and for us to be wondering if the date they tell us one day will be good the next.</p>

<p>@mmb294, the idea that they have no idea</p>

<p>Wait so just for clarification. Are they for sure getting them out by the 15th? Like they wouldn’t come out after then? </p>

<p>And could they still come out on Monday?</p>

<p>Just talked to the officer. He said no need to worry decisions 100% will be out Monday. Cheers!</p>

<p>mmb294, “yes,” “no” and “yes” in response to your questions in order. You all might want to be a little more understanding of the challenges facing the Admissions Officers in giving you a date. They were trying to be helpful by offering earlier dates, which they may still be hopeful in meeting. I can imagine any number of unexpected situations that might have caused the process to take longer than anticipated–anything from a critical decision maker having a family emergency to many more students than expected needing financial aid to many more qualified applicants than expected to incomplete applications from individuals who otherwise would be admitted.</p>

<p>@AMOM59 okay I’m so glad to have some agreement on that. And I do understand…this is unquestionably a busy time for them and I know it’s stressful, but waiting for this really important decision on top of finals makes it hard even though I know I should be more empathetic haha. So relieved we only have to wait until Monday (hopefully).</p>

<p>@impatientsally, omg is it true?? also, was it a guy or a girl who gave you this info ?</p>

<p>sorry to double post, but i re-read my question and noticed that it sounds sexist. my original intention was to ask whether this info was given to you by the same person who told me ‘definitely Monday’ (who was a guy) or by someone else? i apologize for the inappropriate question above.</p>

<p>Relax dude, we got you. We understood the question!</p>

<p>Seriously no worries haha didn’t come across that way at all</p>

<p>it was a woman and a man!</p>

<p>so, people of the earth, faith has been restored in humanity … we are still going on with monday</p>

<p>So it seems like that’s the real information?!</p>

<p>If by Monday you mean May 20th. :P</p>

<p>Omg no don’t even joke haha</p>

<p>haha, that would be CRUEL</p>

<p>imagine all of us on a stranded island, with an almost broken radio apparatus with us.
food and drinking water is running out. we hear some interrupted info on the radio, and then analyze what it means for hours. we try to decipher when exactly the light of the rescue boat will hit the island.</p>

<p>sounds like a good tv show plot to me.</p>
