Reminder from Brown University

<p>Just received a Reminder from Brown University
March 6, 2008</p>

<p>Applicants to the Class of 2012 will be notified by mail of admission decisions and financial
aid awards on March 31, 2008.</p>

<p>You can also access your admission decision on the web at:</p>

<pre><code> Brown University Admission Decision
</code></pre>

<p>We suggest that you bookmark this site; your admission decision will be available online
on Monday, March 31, 2008 no sooner than 5 p.m. (your local time).</p>

<p>If you would like to use the online service, you will need the Username and password mailed to
you earlier this year by the College Admission Office, not the PIN and password you received if
you applied online.</p>

<p>o If you do not remember your Username or password, or if you have problems logging on,
you should phone our Computing & Information Services (CIS) Help Desk at (401) 863-4357 (HELP).</p>

<p>o You must contact them by Friday, March 28, 2008. They will be available to assist
you between 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. (EDT). Please be advised that our staff must speak
directly with the applicant.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, we will not be able to assist students who phone after March 28. Again, your
official admission decision letter will be mailed to you on March 31. Thank you for your
understanding and cooperation.</p>

<p>FAQ to Check Decision</p>

<li>I typed my Username and password and cannot connect to the site, what should I do?</li>
</ol>

<p>Make sure you are using the Username and password that is on the Data Confirmation Letter
mailed to your home by the College Admission Office. Remember, your Username and password
are case sensitive, and must be entered exactly as shown the form. If you did not receive
this letter, please contact the CIS Help Desk at 401-863-4357. See FAQ #2 for more
suggestions.</p>

<li>I typed my Username and password exactly the way it is shown on the form using upper
and lower case characters, but still cannot connect, what am I doing wrong?</li>
</ol>

<p>Make sure your internet browser is up-to-date. Minimum recommendations are Netscape
version 6.2 and above or Internet Explorer 5.2 and above. If you continue to have problems,
contact the CIS Help Desk at 401-863-4357 (HELP). We will be open until 9:00 p.m. (EDT)
on March 31, 2008, otherwise, our normal Help Desk hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. (EDT).</p>

<li>I am using the PIN and password that was emailed to me when I applied online, but now
cannot connect, what am I doing wrong?</li>
</ol>

<p>This is the incorrect ID to check your decision. The Username and password you want to use
is the one that was on the Data Confirmation Letter that the College Admission Office mailed
to your home address. If you did not receive this letter, contact the CIS Help Desk at
401-863-4357. We will be open until 9:00 p.m. (EDT) on March 31, 2008, otherwise, our normal
Help Desk hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EDT).</p>

<li>I have misplaced my letter that the College Admission Office sent to me. Can you email
me this information?</li>
</ol>

<p>Due to security and privacy concerns, our office cannot email you this information. Please
contact us at 401-863-4357 to verify information and we will provide you with your Username
and a new password.</p>

<li>I never received my letter and cannot call you during business hours. Can you give this
information to my parent/sibling?</li>
</ol>

<p>Due to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) our office can only release this
information to the applicant.</p>

<li>I tried activating my account to check my decision and received an error message, how
can I check my decision?</li>
</ol>

<p>Your account has already been activated and you should be using the Username and password
that was mailed to your home address. If you have misplaced this letter or did not receive
it, please contact the CIS Help Desk at 401-863-4357.</p>

<p>Is this the same user name and password combination that we use to check the status of our application?</p>

<p>Yup. 10char</p>

<p>they say decisions will be available after 5pm your local time.... so everyone will get them at 5pm their time? How do they make that work? I'm glad they decided to that since for the ED round i had to wait till after 11pm to get my decision.</p>

<p>my guess is it says your local time in the email...this person happens to live in eastern time, so that is 5 p.m. eastern. If you live on the west coast your email will probably just say 2 p.m. But I don't know, maybe not.</p>

<p>My email says 5pm (your local time) too. And i live on the other side of the world so it's definitely not eastern time. But i am curious as to how it would work since it also says 'no sooner than'.</p>

<p>I'm on the west coast, and the email says 5 PM local time. Interesting that they do that.</p>

<p>That's weird. Mine says "your admission decision will be available online on Monday, March 31, 2008 no sooner than 6:30 p.m. (your local time)."
And I'm on the east coast!! What????</p>

<p>me too dna3</p>

<p>The email time stamp for me is Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 6:31 AM
What's yours?</p>

<p>Mine's is 8:23am...also, the letter says, "Applicants to the Class of 2012 will be notified by mail of admission decisions and financial
aid awards on March 31, 2008." Does that mean they will be sending the letters on the 31st or that we will actually receive the hard copy of the letter in the mail that day, as well?</p>

<p>mine is timestamped at 8:11AM... hahah why are they giving out different information??</p>

<p>I am on the east coast</p>

<p>Why does the exact time matter? All that matters is that we have 25 days until Judgement day.</p>

<p>i'm in europe and they say i'll find out the decision on March 31 5pm local time.</p>

<p>Did everyone get an email??? I didn't get an email..</p>

<p>My son, deferred ED, did not get one either. I wouldn't worry about it.</p>

<p>Mine said no sooner than 6:30...</p>

<p>and i'm on east coast.</p>

<p>mine said 5 PM local time...</p>
