Still on the wait list?

<p>hawaii got theirs today</p>

<p>no worries brownsurfer; as a matter of fact, i don't know how long it takes mail to go from brown to ur place either; haha
well, hopely i'll be able to see u at brown though</p>

<p>good news for u smile05?</p>

<p>there're more than 2 batches??? that was also what I thought when the admission officer I was talking to said that "this is a rolling process". But they already admitted nearly 50 on the 1st round, how many do you think they can admit on the next ones?? Best luck to very one!!!</p>

<p>I'd guess it depends how many of the first round accept. Last year, they took a fairly large number off the waitlist. Who knows.</p>

<p>i still can't believe it... good news :) </p>

<p>i wish the best for all...</p>

<p>Do you think it is helpful to send updates, such as scholarships received, or will you just be considered a nuisance?</p>

<p>Do you think it is helpful to send updates, like recent scholarships received, or will you be perceived as a nuisance?</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, did you guys (who just got off the waitlist) send supplements and contact the admission officers till end of April or did you keep in touch w/ Brown all along till you received the good news??? </p>

<p>I sooooooo wanna go to Brown and just don't know what to do now. arg... i'm goin' nuts. Is anybody waiting for 2nd batch & feelin' the same like me?</p>

<p>@Rabo: did you know how many they took last year? I thought it was somewhere around 50??? (out of 500 I think...)</p>

<p>I am definitely in the same boat.</p>

<p>I didn't hear from Brown, and I am so anxious about the second wave of acceptances. Does anyone have any data about this second wave? I heard that last year, around 15 students were admitted in late June. I also heard that the numbers aren't as high this year.</p>

<p>Ah!</p>

<p>15 out of some hundreds, natW??? Gluck to ya. hope we'll both get good news some time soon :)</p>

<p>I am so nervous. Right now for me it is honestly going to change the way my life plays out where I get into. I could either get into Brown and be a varsity athlete or go to wash u and row for a club team. I know I sound sad and that "everything is riding" on this decision, but I am just afraid that I will have to give up a lot of possibilities. I guess I can always transfer.</p>

<p>I sent one letter within a week of being waitlisted, outlining how much I wanted to go, my reasons for going, and my reasons for why I'm a good match for brown.</p>

<p>holy crap, only 50 admits, i thought there were more.</p>

<p>Wow. Nothing today. Did you hear anything yet Lauren? Did anyone in Texas hear anything? I'm stressed. I want Brown so badly. Laurnen, how many people do you know of in Central Texas who are on the waitlist?</p>

<p>I only know you. The girl from my school who was accepted didn't choose to attend, and I know another girl from a different school who was accepted, no one else on the waitlist.
I figure I wasn't accepted first round, and I am very scared because I don't think I will be accepted in the next month. I am sort of hopeful that people who were accepted from the waitlist decide not to attend because then I would have a better chance, but then I seem mean.</p>

<p>No I understand your sentiment. One girl at my school was accepted and decided not to go. I go to LBJ in case you forgot. where did the other girl go who was accepted? as in what high school? I hope Texas is just really really slow with the mail. Maybe we still have a shot? I know it can take 4 days for something to get from Dallas to Corpus, so maybe it can take 5 or 6 for something to get from providence to austin? At least let's hope so. Again, I wish you the best. And everyone else on the waitlist.</p>

<p>sorry to disappoint you texans, but one of my friends got in off the waitlist yesterday...we're in houston.</p>

<p>I actually didn't send anything extra to the admissions office and was very surprised to be admitted off the waitlist. I had originally intended on sending stuff in but after receiving financial aid offers from other schools, I felt too disheartened by the fact I would probably not be able to afford Brown. Ironically I now find myself in this situation.</p>

<p>Bokonon- I don't expect to have been admitted first round. I think I would have found out. It can take two days to get from Austin to Houston(because maybe that was how the flight went) but I don't think it would and I am upset but not overly hopeful. </p>

<p>Aidnked- Did you get a good financial aid offer, or are you going to stay with your original choice?</p>

<p>Brownsurfer- I don't know where she goes, I just row against her. The girl from my school that was accepted chose Pomona(there are 5 kids from my class of 115 going there next year).</p>
