<p>Has anyone received a letter from the Dean after you sent in additional material to update your application since the deferral from the early decision?</p>
<p>I sent a lot of supplemental material over the span of four months but no letter from the dean. (I am an ED applicant)</p>
<p>S received a letter from his Admission officer with a nice handwritten note. Brown's Admission office has always impressed me.</p>
<p>was your son deffered?</p>
<p>i was deferred, sent in additional materials and received no letter from the dean :( This can't be a good sign....</p>
<p>I was deferred and I sent in my mid-year report (like in early March), but I haven't heard back. I highly doubt Brown accepts me. Even though it is my top choice, I wouldn't mind that much, as I was just accepted by BC CSoM Honors.</p>
<p>I didn't really have any supplemental information to send in, and foolishly kept putting off a letter that I wanted to write to the admissions board. You know, just to let them know that I was keeping busy with the activities I talked about in my application and that I still was sure that Brown was THE place for me, and remained my No.1 no matter what. </p>
<p>Now, after a wait list decision from both Northwestern and Duke last night, I am really regretting not getting around to updating the committee with anything past my mid-year report. Hopefully that speaks enough for me in terms of academics... But I don't think Monday is going to turn out to be flowers and rainbows for me.</p>
<p>I sent my supplemental material to the Dean maybe that's why he responded to my letter.</p>
<p>I was also deferred and sent in supplemental material in mid-February to both the Dean and my rep and got a letter from the Dean a few days later...I hope Monday's a good day!</p>
<p>Do you think the letter from the Dean is a generic one?</p>
<p>Pretty generic...but it did mention everything I sent in and was signed by Mr. Miller...</p>
<p>Does your letter says something like "Thank you for your recent letter reaffirming your strong interest in Brown. As I noted in my December 13th letter to you, we will thoroughly review your application again in the next sereval weeks, and in the interim I hope you will feel free to provide us with any new information you feel will be helpful to us in our evaluation. Thank yu again for writing, thank you for your continuing interest in Brown, and please accept my best wishes for a successful and enjoyable close to your high school career."</p>
<p>hahahah yes.</p>
<p>ivyboy711 - Yes, my son was deferred. His letter has the same language as the letters noted in this thread. The handwritten note referred to specific information in my son's letter. I don't see this as either a positive or negative; simply Brown being classy, that's all.</p>
<p>My d received an acknowledgement letter from a Dean (not sure which one) after sending in additional material. She was deferred ED.</p>
<p>wow. I most definitely sent in an update letter which expressed my interest, but no letter. What gives?</p>
<p>I don't think a response or lack of one means anything. If they got your letter/update when they were not busy, they probably responded. But if the letter got there during the busiest times, maybe they were too busy to respond.</p>
<p>I am assuming from the past posts that if you just addressed the supplemental material for the "Brown admissions board" you didn't receive a letter but it was most likely received and put into your file. I called a school once to make sure they received material and they said that it was added to my file for review. </p>
<p>Since the letter was addressed to the dean I am assuming that was why he sent something back. If the material was sent addressed to a specific person, it is more likely that a confirmation letter would be sent back =)</p>
<p>5 days left people!</p>
<p>I sent mine in a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten a response...of course I did send it directly to my admissions officer! :)</p>
<p>Alright...so I am wrong...wouldn't be the first time =) Just know that if it was sent to the right address, they got it and put it in your file</p>
