<p>“First-Year Applicants
Key Dates:
REGULAR DECISION applications due: January 1, 2010
*The Regular Decision deadline has been extended to Monday, January 4, 2010.”</p>

<p>for those of you(like me) who procrastinating and are now stressing out about Brown, i have good news for you! I dont know if someone has already posted this but if you go to brown’s website:
[Brown</a> University Admission](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/]Brown”>http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/)</p>

<p>it says they’ve extended the regular decision deadline :D</p>

<p>I currently have to do the supplements for 7 schools and I was just starting on my Brown essays. Are any other colleges extending their deadlines?</p>

3

<p>this just made my night complete!</p>

4

<p>the common app still says the 1st… is it for 100% sure its the 4th now</p>

5

<p>yeah i dont like how common app says its the 1st but im pretty sure if brown posted it on their website they’ll stick to it.</p>

<p>and yeah the news made my night too :slight_smile: i procrastinated and still have a few supplements from schools to do :P</p>

<p>no extended deadlines from other colleges that I’ve heard about. Nothing on johns hopkins website. Nothing on cornell’s website. Nothing on nyu’s website. Those are the schools I still have to do so that’s all I checked haha. I know columbia’s deadline was originally already jan 4 but that doesn’t really matter</p>

<p>That’s awesome! I submitted mine last night but I’m super happy Brown is that cool :]</p>

<p>Hmm, as a current student, I wonder how good this is for Brown’s applicant quality. It’ll give students for whom Brown isn’t their first choice the chance to apply and spend three whole days formulating a “Why Brown” essay. Which could potentially hurt yield (people who don’t want to go to Brown as much getting in, then not going). But overall, it probably won’t affect a whole lot because our admission office seems pretty good at figuring out how to admit based on quality of applicant/how much they want to go.</p>

<p>This is lovely. Thank you so much for posting this; now I have time to do my other six applications. Procrastination ftw.</p>

9

<p>hmmm…the commonapp still hasn’t changed anything…I guess we should trust the website. :]</p>

10

<p>Nooooooooooo! I just submitted!</p>

11

<p>Hmm, if common app doesnt change the date, can we still submit.</p>

12

<p>^ That’s also my question.</p>

13

<p>I’m still submitting it Jan. 1 :P</p>

14

<p>^yeah ill probably do the same. Technically, i submitted it 3 days early :P</p>

15

<p>Oh man!</p>

<p>Happy New Years to meee. :D</p>

16

<p>Anyone know what Brown’s policy on late school materials is? Are they lenient or super hardcore like stanford</p>

17

<p>I honestly hope they’re lenient. I had snow days on the few last days of school prior to winter break, thus screwing up my transcript and recommendation situation. I won’t be able to have them sent out until school gets back in session.</p>

<p>It was either a. not bothering to apply, or b. applying anway and hoping they go easy on my ass.</p>

18

<p>The information coming from school is not as deadline dependent as the info coming from you. Colleges know that teachers and guidance departments are busy and they are not as concerned with getting that stuff in on time. The importance is getting stuff on time from the students. I assume the offices in your school know that you need them to send stuff to Brown.</p>

19

<p>I do hope Common App changes it on their site because the fact that it still says Jan 1st makes me kind of nervous…</p>

20

<p>I wonder if we should contact Common App and see if we can still submit it tomorrow</p>
