<p>And west coast. Sighhh.</p>
<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I’m waiting too, still haven’t heard yet.
I was accepted April 1st to Cornell, and I’m also on Harvard’s wait list by the way.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>I was rejected. Ah well, I’m still on Harvard’s wait list.</p>
<p>Rejected. Oh well, the only reason I stayed on the list was because my dad made me :)</p>
<p>where are you guys that already got it in the mail? i haven’t gotten anything yet…</p>
<p>Rejected, from CT. Does anyone know if they accepted anyone from the waitlist yet?</p>
<p>Class of 2014 is completely booked. They have sent out 20 acceptances for the class of 2015. I have gotten one. They send one letter and one certificate. They say that no one will be accepted to the class of 2014 from the waiting list. It is dated 21st May. They did not e-mail or call about the acceptance, letter in the mail.</p>
<p>The letter</p>
<p>'On April 1st, I promised your application would be considered for any available position in the incoming class. As of today, the responses we have received from accepted students have filled our available spaces, and we are unable to offer you a place in the Class of 2014. Your academic, extra-curricular, and personal accomplishments have impressed the Board of Admission, however, and we would like to offer you a place at Brown in the Class of 2015, entering in the fall of fall 2011.</p>
<p>We truly hope you will give serious consideration to our offer. You are one of the very small number of students to whom we felt compelled to make an offer. While having to wait a year before entering Brown may present unexpected options and opportunities you should know that many students take time off before or during their academic careers and find the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Almost 40 members of the Class of 2014 have already chosen to defer their enrollment by one year. We are confident that you can usethe next year to successfully engage in the many opportunities available to students pursuing a gap year - work, tavel, volunteer, perfect a skill and/or pursue an internship.</p>
<p>If you accept our offer to join the class of 2015, please be aware that you are not permitted to enroll at another college or university as a full time student next year, nor are you permitted to apply to another institution. In addition, we expect that you will not hold a place at another college and will withdraw from any college at which you are currently intending to marticulate.</p>
<p>Please contact us if you have any questions - followed by email IDs and phone numbers.</p>

<p>THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR ME. (Sorry, I’m losing my mind here.)</p>
<p>And congrats on being one of a select few! Hmmm, either way you have two great options, so I don’t know. (That wasn’t very helpful, I know.)</p>
<p>If taking a gap year was something you were considering anyway, this might be a good option. I would not, however, waste a year playing World of Warcraft or asking customers “would you like fries with that” just to be able to go to Brown. Duke is a great school by the way. Waiting a year could go by in the blink of an eye or seem like an eternity depending upon on how wisely you use that time.</p>
<p>Yep. Got my rejection today in California. I would have very strongly considered waiting a year had I the option. It, for one, would have given my family time to adjust to me leaving for the other side of the country.</p>
<p>I guess this chapter of my life is closed. It feels awful to have failed so bad at getting into a school I wanted to go to. Now that every school I’ve been waitlisted at has come to a close, I’m 5 for 5 for rejections at private schools. I don’t necessarily think that I messed up on my applications, just that this was all a gamble, and I got stuck with one of the worst odds for outcomes. Eh. I guess I could always try and transfer, but there’s not much motivation to go through the whole app process again when they didn’t even want us in the first place.</p>
<p>Brown’s my dream school… but a year is a year. As of now I have no plans whatsoever about how I’m going to make it count.
I’m international too (just thought I should point it out)</p>
<p>i don’t understand why you can’t go somewhere else for your first year, then enter brown as a sophomore…</p>
<p>ugh</p>
<p>To do that I will first have to decline this offer and then re-apply as a transfer student.</p>
<p>Eh, rejected. At least I can move on with my life now.</p>
<p>rejected =[ </p>
<p>Still waiting on Yale, Middlebury, and Oberlin. If no where else, I’m going to Arizona State.</p>
<p>Rejected… University of Washington here I come.</p>
<p>Waitlisted as a transfer!</p>
<p>Shot down. I guess I’m stuck in the midwest.</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten any letters from Brown yet.I already checked only, and it said “admission decision is not available at this time.” Does anyone know if not getting a letter until now is a good or bad thing?</p>
<p>It’s a snailmail letter, not an email. If you don’t get it in Tuesday’s mail, then I would call them. If you have no intention of taking a gap year, then it’s all academic (no pun intended).</p>
