<p>as the time grows closer to be able to check RD decisions online, i was curious as to what the first word of the letter you receieved ED was (both acceptees and non). curious b/c i’m too chicken to check my decision online but i’m dying to know so i’m softening and may even look @ the first word with the rest of the screen covered. </p>
<p>thanks! and congrats for all those accepted! :)</p>
<p>i saved the entire webpage after i got it :o lol</p>
<p>"Dear Anna: </p>
<p>I hope you are as pleased to receive this decision notification as I am to provide it. You have been admitted to the 242nd class to enter The College of Brown University. I congratulate you on your record of academic and personal accomplishments, to which can now be added the honor of being accepted as an Early Decision applicant to Brown. You will be one of 1,430 first-year students who individually and collectively display a remarkable diversity of strengths and interests. Each of you was chosen not only for what we believe you can contribute to our academic community, but also for what you will gain from the wonderful opportunities that distinguish undergraduate education at Brown. </p>
<p>Your official admission decision letter has been mailed to you and I ask that you read it carefully, as it contains more detailed information than is possible for us to provide here. If you are a candidate for financial aid, your financial aid award letter is included with the decision letter; you may also access that information online. Please remember that as a student admitted under an Early Decision plan, you are required to withdraw all applications to other colleges, and you may not initiate any new applications. </p>
<p>We know that this Early Decision admission will not only relieve you of the anxiety of applying to college, but more importantly, it will permit you to focus your efforts on learning for the rest of the year. Please remember that this offer of admission is contingent upon your maintaining a record of the same general quality as that on which we based our decision. </p>
<p>On behalf of the faculty and President Ruth Simmons, please accept my congratulations on your admission. Please do not hesitate to write to me if you have any questions that remain after you receive your official decision letter. </p>
<p>Sincerely, </p>
<p>Michael Goldberger
Director of Admission"</p>
<p>man...it's still unbelievable...i didn't dare to hope it would happen!</p>
<p>i didn't even check it, i refused and my sister did it secretly like 4-5 hrs after it was posted</p>
<p>Mine is still hung up on my fridge.</p>
<p>i was deferred.</p>
<p>it read something like "After a thorough evaluation of your application, the admissions committee voted to postpone your decision until" blah blah blah blah blah.</p>
