<p>Last year it seemed as though the Brown server crashed for a couple of hours on March 29, the day the online decisions came out. A bunch of people couldn't check the decision because it was down for quite a long time. Perhaps the different time stamps are to try to prevent that from happening again.</p>
<p>mine said 6 PM and i'm on the east coast</p>
<p>Yeah, mine said 6 pm and I'm east coast.</p>
<p>i'm on the east coast & they said 5:30pm</p>
<p>Son's email was sent to my email address. He used his own in the application form. He probably used my email address when he first signed up for the viewbook and somehow that's the email address in his records. And his says check no sooner than 5 p.m. I think franglish is correct why the time is different - to avoid a crash.</p>
<p>i'm in the south, and it said 6:00 pm... maybe its alphabetical?</p>
<p>West coast (California) it said 5pm</p>
<p>Remember that clocks go forward (Spring Forward) this weekend (at least in most parts of the US), so you lose an hour. So you have one less hour to wait before the decision!</p>
<p>It's not alphabetical, because my last name starts with Z and mine says 5 P.M.; I am, however, on the East Coast.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of taking an "Academic Day" on April 1st to recuperate from the inevitable rejections; maybe I can convince some friends to do so too and we can have a "We Got Rejected But Not Everywhere" party.</p>
<p>xmobile - That's the day it's listed online.
You would probably receive the letter within a few days of that.</p>
<p>deferred in December, 6 PM and in NY. And Zamzam, I actually thought of doing that too! Hearing back from soo many places starting mid march with the last ones on April 1st!</p>
<p>mine said 6pm and im on east coast</p>
<p>Why didn't I get a letter? They didn't give me my username and password either until I called them. This can't be a good sign.</p>
<p>i live on the west coast and got my email at 3:24 am and i was already up because im nocturnal i swear. i am freaking out already. i will not be able to sit through school on march 31st. this is so intense. ill probably check before 5 pm to see if its up because i think people here are right and they are using that little trick on us to avoid a crash on their servers. i need to calm myself down now...</p>
<p>ooohhh mah gahhhhh this is so exciting! Good luck to everyone! :D</p>
<p>Haha... I'm really lucky because I will be on spring break that week.... so I will be playing the piano all day to relax! But I won't check online because I want to check the mailbox! =)</p>
<p>man i dont think i could have that much self-discipline! but yeah i get the deal with the mailbox...very traditional approach...</p>
<p>My local time's 12/13 hours ahead of eastern time, so for those who think brown's posting the decisions at the same time but just asking ppl to check at different times: who knows, maybe ur decision will be up by morning. But i think they might actually post the decisions at different times?</p>
<p>Mine says 5:30. East coast, last name beginning with B. </p>
<p>ACH THE EXCITEMENT!!!</p>
<p>My son did not receive an email from Brown about when he can get his decision on-line. Is anybody else still waiting for it?</p>
