The Brown Early Decision 2017 Discussion Thread

<p>I’m betting that they accept a few more kids ED this year, since their overall acceptance rate crept up a bit last year. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>checked out Harvard’s 2017 SCEA discussion thread just out of curiosity and discovered that the thread was started in July and now has 15 pages of posts.</p>

<p>Don’t panic yet if you haven’t gotten a call or e-mail about an interview and you are an ED candidate. The regional chairs who assign the interviews are sometimes behind on this, and there is some later shuffling around of assignments. However, do check your “spam” mail regularly. A lot of e-mail services, and notoriously true of school based ones in particular, will dump your interviewers mail to you into spam as an unknown address. The interviewers are supposed to get the reports back to Brown by December 1st for ED, so if you haven’t had any contact by the end of this week, then I would call admissions to check on this. Also, while Brown tries to offer every applicant an interview, there may be cases due to no available interviewer in your area, where some students will not be interviewed. (That does not count against you, either.) Good luck, have fun and enjoy your interview!</p>

<p>Why I’m worried is because there are three applicants from my school. Two of them have received interview calls already and the third one (me) hasn’t. Should I be worried or is that fine?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Focus: it’s fine. Your specific interviewer probably just hasn’t contacted you yet.</p>

<p>Eferriso: As far as I know, Brown will be posting decisions online like they’ve done in the past. Where did you read that?</p>

<p>bruno14: He sure is making me panic haha.</p>

<p>Do you think I should contact Brown about whether they have received my SAT Subject Scores? I sent them on 26th October and it says its missing although more than two weeks have passed (on the application summary thing).</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Wait another week before contacting them - remember that they get a huge flood of mail around this time of year and just can’t get through it all.</p>

<p>haha. that link came out looking wrong - but if you click on it, it takes you to a Brown Daily Herald article from 11/11</p>

<p>If I haven’t received my application tracker info, should I give admissions a call?</p>

<p>me neither… i sent everything in on November 5th. should i be worried?</p>

<p>They said 10 days for a reason guys.</p>

<p>Getting worried about the interview thing now… Still haven’t received any contact from an interviewer, everyone I know who has applied with me have received calls. Should I contact the Brown office or let it be?</p>

<p>It’s been 6 days…4 more days guys</p>

<p>Thanks for that reply BrownAlumParent.</p>

<p>I double-checked my Brown profile and everything seems to be fine. I don’t have a little brother but my elder brother is also applying for Grad studies so he probably would let me know if there was any phone call haha. I guess I’ll wait till 21st to contact the Brown admissions, that’ll be a good 20 days from when I sent my application. Also I don’t want to seem desperate!</p>

<p>Thanks anyway, I’ll let you’ll know about my interview status.</p>

<p>My SAT scores have reached Brown so now it’s not like they have an incomplete application to deal with haha.</p>

<p>My daughter has not been contacted for an interview either. She checked all of her profile information and everything is in order. She said she would wait until Thursday before contacting Brown.</p>

<p>Hello! I’m from Texas and the way the interview works here is that there is a large Interview Event and you’re given a time slot. Thank God I was out on a college visit that day and requested a rescheduling. I should be notified of a one-on-one soon.</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten an interview request either. just received my password and user id for monitoring teh app today</p>

<p>Don’t worry. Son didn’t get interview for a while. Suddenly, he received a phone call one evening at 930pm, asking him for a phone interview the next night. He thought it was a difficult interview, since he couldn’t see the interviewer’s facial expression as compared to a one on one interview. It lasted for 30mins. He is now completing his first semester at Brown!</p>

<p>I still haven’t heard from Brown about my ED interview, and it’s been more than two weeks since I submitted my application. Everything seems to be submitted according to my Brown profile. Should I consider contacting the admissions office?</p>
