<p>Any current Brown students out there who came off the waitlist, or know someone who did? How hopeless is it?</p>
<p>Thanks --</p>
<p>I don't think the adcoms sit until early May. Do they?</p>
<p>Right -- I was thinking historically.........like, what have people's experiences been?</p>
<p>Yup, I know several people (09) who got in off the waitlist. It definitely happens.</p>
<p>A couple of experiences wouldn't tell you the whole picture. Brown can admit anywhere between 0 to 50 now. So the best thing is to believe in God, and if it doesn't work out for you, then consider it the work of Divine Providence (even though you didnt' reach Providence!!!).</p>
<p>i was waitlisted last year... didnt get accepted. my best advice is to just send in some really astounding essay, possibly covering anything you think you may have left off in the original app, and maybe an extra rec from a peer or someone other than a teacher.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
