**** official brown u 2016 transfers ****

^I don’t really see how that is an “unfair advantage.” I’ve been to several transfer information sessions with elite schools and most of them have said if you have deadlines you need to work around you can call them and they’ll see what they can do for you.

@matthewjohnlim the 2014 thread shows that they did this at least two years ago, which is why i asked. i don’t think brown was “desperate for students” then either but, based on the thread from last year, i think you are right that they no longer disclose information early.

Just called admissions and they said definitely before or on next Friday (5/13)

@epancotti Thanks for the update!

I know that it is a bit late, but I have a quick question for anyone here to submitted supplementary materials. I tried to email some supplementary materials to the transferapp email, but didn’t receive a response for around 2-3 days. Therefore, I ended up just uploading the documents themselves online on my brown portal. I didn’t really get a receipt or anything, and all that happened was I got directed to a white webpage with the text “____” uploaded successfully. There was a small button on that page saying “return to portal”. Is that what happened with everyone else? To this day I still have no received an email response to the email i sent. Should I be concerned?

@brownquestion321 I got the exact same message. I guess either we both should be concerned or neither of us should be concerned. Also, I love how it’s Friday the 13th. Will probably prove to be my unlucky day.

That’s great to hear. Hopefully everything goes well and we all have a fun story to tell about Friday the 13th.

YAY only 11 more days (or less)! I’m currently in Providence and it’s a great place! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the best.

Do you guys know how we’re receiving decisions? Like email, regular mail…? I can’t seem to access my portal anymore so I’m just hoping it’s not there

@ereagan I assume we will be notified by email, and those who are accepted will receive IRL acceptance letters through the mail. They will most likely post the decision on the portal, so I would definitely try and figure out why you can’t access it.

Does everyone have a new tab for accepting financial aid offers, with instructions on how to do so?

Was anyone else’s admission decision tab changed back from “Click Here” to “Admission Decisions are currently unavailable”?

@83Richards Yes. Has your Financial Aid tab changed as well?

@83Richards Mine did. There is no longer a clickable button in that row.

@justsemantics Are you able to see your determined financial aid offer?

@brownquestion321 No. It states that the award information is not available at this time, however when I click on the ‘Accept Award Offers’ link there is a new ‘Accept Award Offer’ tab listing instructions to accept financial award offers. Formerly I only had two tabs available; ‘General Infornation’ and 'Award Overview.

@justsemantics I also have the new “Accept Award Offer” tab. I wonder if it’s a sign or if it appears for everyone…

I also have the new financial aid instructions tab and the click here button disappeared

I don’t have the award tab. Maybe it’s because I did not apply for FA? Also, I don’t believe they will give me a merit based one

Mine went from “click here” to “not available” as well. Getting really anxious. Praying for acceptance to my dream school! I recently got rejected by UCLA, Northwestern, UC Berkeley, and UPenn. :frowning:

I don’t have the award tab either. So anxious. Does that indicate anything or is it just for those who applied for FA?
