Accepted!!!

WL

 

[deleted688779]

Did they release scholarships?

 

[ChymeofPassion]

WL. They talked about how it goes from 33% to 50-60 once accounting for waitlist; anyone do the math on WL/Admit percentage? Also, do they reject post II? If they didnt, I'd assume the WL acceptance % to be 40-50 percent (and only going up if rejections do occur after interview; does that math check out?)

 

[strappysandals]

Ayyyy WL :O

 

[poliwhirl33]

Also joining the WL squad :/ if you haven't gotten an email check your "Promotions" tab in gmail because that's where mine popped up

 

[coffee&scrubs]

WL. Too much to ask for an A anyone?

 

[deleted783578]

WL as well

 

[BUSM24Student]

WL. Guess being a RI resident doesn't help

 

[red melba]

Accepted! So happy. This might be a silly question, but how do you accept the offer? Do you have to email them? I'm a little confused when I log into the portal.

Go to the offer tab, then go to Technical Standards on the left-hand side. Scroll down, press "I agree" and you can accept the offer

Same. This is our "state school"

For real. Pretty sad about it. I know a lot come off the WL but damn. Hurts seeing as I've spent a lot of time associated with Brown/its affiliated hospitals.

+1

my second WL, no A squad here too, I was very bummed. Not the best feeling for sure but let us stay positive and continue to seek that bread baby!

Yeet that yeast, obtain that grain! Let’s hope things get better soon!

Recent II. Complete ~ labor day, OOS + not Brown affiliated. Available dates in Dec and mid Jan. Surprised to get an interview here and very excited to attend. It sounds like everyone thinks that the interview experience is positive, low stress?

 

[pursuingmed2]

Would sending an update letter at this point be worthwhile if I haven't heard anything? Not expecting much since I'm a low MCAT applicant (for Brown at least haha), but was considering giving it a go.

I think so! I’m going to send an update letter either today or tomorrow.

do you upload on the portal or send an email?

Haven’t sent it yet lol but I intend on uploading it in the portal and emailing admissions saying that I sent an update letter on the portal!

Does anyone know if Brown negotiates aid packages? I think that based on my parents' incomes, I won't get any FA but they also won't be helping me, so I'll be taking out loans for the full COA. For a variety of reasons, I definitely plan on attending Brown, but I recently received an interview invite to another lower-ranked school that sounds like it gives out great aid/a lot of scholarships, and I'm wondering whether it's worth it to attend the interview in case I end up getting in and getting some money. I'm assuming that since Brown doesn't have merit aid during pre-clerkship years though, they don't do this?

I would attend that interview.

And Brown doesn’t give merit aid? Didn’t know that.

Even if your parents make a lot, there's a section on the financial aid application (will be sent out in December) that allows you to say whether or not your parents will be contributing to your tuition.

I didn't realize that, thanks! I wonder how that factors into things...on interview day, I got the impression that parental income was the major determinant of aid awards regardless of whether they'd be helping.

Honestly, I’ve been sitting in silence since my last interview a month ago and thought I was done. Waiting sucks, but it’s not over until March!!!
