Wait-listed at Brown

<p>Does anyone know whether Brown in taking candidates off the wait-list or not this year? If so, how many?</p>

<p>I don't think anyone knows yet... there is another thread that suggests there might not be very many slots for wait-listers this year. I wonder, does the school send a letter when the class is filled, so people know when to stop waiting? Does anyone know when the offers have arrived in past years? I suppose the process must go on for a few weeks, as not everyone on the waitlist would accept and they'd have to notify the next person.</p>

<p>Can you please give me the link to that (awful) thread?</p>

<p>It was this one, that you started - <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=182998%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=182998&lt;/a>
oops - that doesn't look like a hot link - what did I do wrong? Anyway, it's the one titled "Calculation regarding wait-list: Do they indicate no hope?" Maybe I'm just having trouble being optimistic, but I thought the numbers didn't look good. The only hopeful news is that people applied to more schools this year, so maybe there will be a large number that won't accept.</p>

<p>I've bumped up the thread I think you're referring to. Since no one knows the numbers yet, it's impossible to say.</p>

<p>I have heard that they are way ahead in yield and will be taking very few if any from the wait list i am sorry to say.</p>

<p>Could you please tell me your source</p>

<p>here's an insider's source. they are 65 students over target size, even after factoring ppl withdrawing because they are accepted off waitlist elsewhere.</p>

<p>Thanks very much for that info. At least it brings some closure to those that have been waitlisted (like my son). I'll give the Alum Office a buzz tomorrow to confirm this information, since we've also used the alumni college counselor.</p>

<p>Cami215: I'd appreciate if you could tell me what the alum office says.</p>

<p>Just confirming on this thread. The alum office states that there will be little or no waitlist movement this year.</p>
