<p>anyone from last year???</p>
<p>Go browse the Official Early Decision Results Thread from last year..it's one of the first threads listed. Somewhere among the multiple pages, people have copy/pasted last year's acceptance, rejection, and deferral leters.</p>
<p>** ACCEPTANCE LETTER **
Dear (First name):</p>
<p>I hope you are as pleased to receive this decision notification as I am to provide it. You have been admitted to the 243rd class to enter The College of Brown University. I congratulate you on your record of academic and personal accomplishments, to which can now be added the honor of being accepted as an Early Decision applicant to Brown. You will be one of 1,450 first-year students who individually and collectively display a remarkable diversity of strengths and interests. Each of you was chosen not only for what we believe you can contribute to our academic community, but also for what you will gain from the wonderful opportunities that distinguish undergraduate education at Brown.</p>
<p>Your official admission decision letter has been mailed to you and I ask that you read it carefully, as it contains more detailed information than is possible for us to provide here. If you are a candidate for financial aid, your financial aid award letter is included with the decision letter; you may also access that information online. Please remember that as a student admitted under an Early Decision plan, you are required to withdraw all applications to other colleges, and you may not initiate any new applications.</p>
<p>We know that this Early Decision admission will not only relieve you of the anxiety of applying to college, but more importantly, it will permit you to focus your efforts on learning for the rest of the year. Please remember that this offer of admission is contingent upon your maintaining a record of the same general quality as that on which we based our decision.</p>
<p>On behalf of the faculty and President Ruth Simmons, please accept my congratulations on your admission. Please do not hesitate to write to me if you have any questions that remain after you receive your official decision letter.</p>
<p><strong>REJECTION LETTER</strong></p>
<p>The Board of Admission has completed its evaluation of nearly 2,500 Early Decision applications, and it is with great regret that I inform you that the Board has voted to deny your application for admission to Brown.</p>
<p>The Early Decision Program was created to give applicants as clear as admission decision as possible early in their senior year, and in time to submit other applications. The fact that you application was denied is not a negative reflection of your talents and accomplishments, but is unfortunately indicative of the reality of the intense competition for admission to the Class of 2010. While each year, only 1,450 students enter Brown, we anticipate that over 17,000 highly-qualified students will apply this year. The very real and very sad truth is we find ourselves in the difficult position of being unable to admit a great many of the students we would like to have here.</p>
<p>The members of the Board are very aware of the disappointment this letter may bring you and want you to know that they had made every effort to make the same decision on your application in December that they would have made in April. Our early Decision deliberations reflect our awareness of the competition for places in an entering class and our obligation under Early Decision to help students in their transition to college by advising them earlyeven when the decision may cause unhappiness.</p>
<p>We know that you will have a successful college career and we wish you the best as you pursue your college plans. On behalf of the Board of Admission I want to thank you for taking the time to prepare your application and for your interest in Brown.</p>
<p><strong>DEFERRAL LETTER</strong></p>

<p>Oh my god. That rejection letters devastates me...it just makes me want to die.
Haha, its going to be a tough week.</p>
<p>** DEFERRAL LETTER **</p>
<p>After a careful evaluation of your credentials, the Board of Admission has voted to postpone a final decision on your application. By no means should you interpret this as a denial of admission; it simply means that the Board wishes to have additional time in order to ensure a complete comparison of your application with those of our regular applicant pool. During the winter months, we will review all previously submitted materials as well as any additional credentials you may wish to send to us.</p>
<p>Your official admission decision letter has been mailed to you and I ask that you read it carefully, as it contains more detailed information than is possible for us to provide here. If you are also an applicant for the Program in Liberal Medical Education, please be aware that this deferral includes your candidacy for that program as well.</p>
<p>Let me repeat - you will be considered without prejudice in the spring evaluations of the regular applicant group, and you will be notified by mail in April of the Board's final decision. Please do not hesitate to write to me if you have questions that remain after you receive your official decision letter.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>James S. Miller
Dean of Admission</p>
