<p>I wanted to send a snail mail letter to Brown to thank them for their consideration and tell them that my interest in Brown is (eternal and ever-lasting) still present despite the deferral. But I don’t know who to send the letter to!</p>
<p>Should I send it directly to the admissions office or to the regional admissions person? If the latter, how do I find out their office address? Should I just find out their name and stick it on the envelope on top of the regular admissions address?</p>
<p>I really want to express my gratitude towards Brown but I don’t want my letter to go to the wrong person. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Usually you want to send it to your “reader” (the regional admissions person) via the regular admissions office. So if you know their name, I think it’s okay to use the admissions office’s address.</p>
<p>Do they publicly post the regional admissions officers somewhere? I remember there being a link related to them in a thread a while ago, but I don’t remember which thread it was and I never clicked on the link. </p>
<p>Okay, okay, I found the name of my regional officer.</p>
<p>My mom says I should just address the letter to the regular admissions office and stick her name at the top. Is this the best idea or would I be better off not putting her name on it?</p>
<p>It’s probably easiest for them if you include the name. I’m just guessing, but I’d think that if you don’t include it, they’d have to figure out who it is and send it to her anyway.</p>
<p>Brown actually posts their regional reps’ travel schedules. When the spring schedule comes out, try to plan to meet your regional rep and briefly chit-chat with him or her. My daughter did this every time her rep visited our city (4 times over two years) and upon acceptance he emailed her and said he had remembered her. I think it may have helped her to have the rep associate a live person he had met with an application.</p>
<p>Sludge, another tip - get to the event early and talk to your rep right then. Your rep will likely be standing around by his or her lonesome. After your rep does his dog and pony show, he (or she) will literally be swarmed by other prospects (like a rock star) and its game over.</p>
<p>Sorry, folks, arwarw’s suggestion is not applicable to current seniors. </p>
<p>Admissions rep’s travel two times of year - fall and spring. They are not out on the road between now and when decisions issue - they’re busy reading applications!</p>
<p>So, even though this might be great advice for future applicants, it’s not something that current applicants can take advantage of.</p>
