<p>well, i got my little white rejection envelope today. i guess it was a nice letter, but all i had hoped for is gone. oh well. i'll probably be a less frequent visitor to this board, but may linger and a tad bit. good luck to everyone else. if i cant get accepted, i sure want you guys on CC to be! cioa!</p>
<p>Brownsurfer, even if you don't get to attend due to stupid money problems you can at least temporarily revel in the fact that you were accepted.</p>
<p>Adam, I just wonder where you live because if you just now got a rejection letter mine could be in the mail. I also am so sorry you got rejected because you really wanted to attend, I am sure you will do great wherever you do attend. One thing I have found about this waitlisting is that it has made me more willing to push my way to the top at whatever school I attend. I just want to do well at the school I will attend to show all of those schools that rejected me how much of a big mistake they made.</p>
<p>lauren, i live in rural ky, lol. i know what you mean. brown's gonna be might sad that they didnt accept the person that found a cure for cancer. seriously, though, i truly hope to be well know for something like that. and another thing that gets me: several people tell me there is no way a schoo like brown would accept me. one pestery girl even told me "maybe you just arent ivy material." damn her, i hope she ends up in alcatrez. blarg.</p>
<p>btw, the letter they sent me gave me the impression that they didnt reject those still waiting, so maybe they havent rejected you yet. </p>
<p>on a lighter note, i also got accepted to a program at which i matriculated today. only 11 students are chosen, so at least i know i'm off to a good start. and also, i am still waiting on 4 other waitlists. </p>
<p>i need to find a good reason to call wash u and attempt to beg or something like that so that maybe i could sneak some info from them. ehhh, that'll never happen</p>
<p>good luck to all!</p>
<p>Who on earth has the gall to say that someone isn't "ivy material!?" If so muchh of admissions weren't based on legacy status or money or connections, maybe that would be a slightly valid statement, but as it is, it's BS. Adam, good luck, and I hope you do cure cancer.</p>
<p>eh, hopefully i'll never see hear again. oh, her mom wrote a rec for me after i got waitlisted: excellent letter! but honestly, i think she has menatl issues and is probably a bit jealous. let it be.</p>
<p>You can call Wash U and pester, knowing them it might actually help(that's where I am planning on going next year). </p>
<p>Damn the waiting!!! I leave town in under 1 week(for possibly the whole summer) and am still sitting on my hands.</p>
<p>I recieved a rejection letter from the waiting list today. Dissapointing but also expected. I'm taking a year off travelling in South America and then attending Mcgill University (I deferred) in september 2006. Good luck all those still waiting.</p>
<p>I think you'll find that your travels in South american will be more rewarding than any experience brown could have given you. Enjoy McGill!!</p>
<p>oh and when in SA, try the vine Ayahuasca, I have read in my Anthropology class that it is very popular amongst indigenous populations as a cultrual equivalent to coffee.</p>
<p>I received my rejection today. I'm a little sad, but mostly ****ed off. I had waited since October for an answer they could have easily given me back in March. Frankly, they can take their waitlist and shove it. </p>
<p>Right now, the goal is to go to Berkeley in the fall and make the most of it. Now that Brown has finally freed me, I can do that wholeheartedly. It's been fun on this board while it lasted.</p>
<p>Take care, everyone.</p>
<p>I am still sitting on the waitlist, at least I think I am. I don't know anymore what to think.</p>
<p>Adam,
I'm sorry to hear of your bad news, but you'll do great wherever you end up. "This too shall pass." In a few months you'll be having the time of your life at a school you love and call home, and all of this admissions nonsense will be just a distant memory.</p>
<p>Lauren,
Best of luck to you-- I'm still waiting too. As much as I fear getting the dreaded thin envelope, at this point it might just be a relief to finally be freed from my shackles of uncertainty. Let me know when you find out anything. Again, I wish you luck (that goes for everyone else still waiting to hear).</p>
<p>MalachiteFalcon: I'm goin' to Cal too! I got the thin envelop a while ago. I never really wanted to go to Brown that much. Even if I would have gotten in, I'd probably still be going to Berkeley. (I got a great scholarship from them :D)</p>
<p>How many of us are there still on the waitlist? Well they want everything to be decided by the 15th(or so they say) so soon we should find out. I leave town the 15th so I might not be able to tell and my father would have to then give me the news.</p>
<p>Brownsurfer, are you going to be able to attend even though you didn't get a good aid package?</p>
<p>yeah, I am. I didn't get a good aid package, but I pulled off a fairly presitigious merit scholarship. Plus, the aid officers think they might be able to lower my parent contribution, which is great b/c my dad is really really lame. So...I have a lot of help. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>I'm sorry my good luck waves suck, adam. Good luck to everyone still waiting and to those who've received the news they didn't want: I'm sure you will all do fantastically at the college you do decide to grace your presence with. Good luck! Is it weird that I don't even know people and I still feel melancholy?</p>
<p>This is my first time posting in this forum (im so nervous lol jk)... anyways I applied as a transfer to Brown and I am on the waitlist for the class of 2007... anyone else on this waitlist and have heard or haven't heard??? I can't wait to find out in the next few days or so.. </p>
<p>well I'm off to get a job.. </p>
<p>V</p>
<p>good luck shomeyourohface! And everyone else too!</p>
<p>I got accepted to Brown RD but I decided not to go.</p>
<p>ok....................................</p>
<p>it's jun 18th already... yet brown has sent me anything... not even a rejection letter..... anyone experiencing the same thing?</p>
