Members don't see this ad.

JUST got a rejection. Complete in August. Thought I escaped yesterday's wave. Too bad... Brown would've been a great match for me.

 

[Procyon]

Never mind, just got rejected. Can't say I'm surprised, but it was worth a shot. I was hoping to meet Iorek Byrnison haha.

 

[Maxine450]

Rejected. Oh well!

 

[dsk89]

+ a million

 

[seefinator101]

I'm a native Rhode Islander. Rejected today too :'(

 

[Boomski]

It gets better,

1:48 PM: Rejection email

2:56 PM: Notification email that my provided updates will be added to my file.

Ugh, that's practically cruel. 🙁 Did you provide updates via snail mail, or email?

 

[Boomski]

PDF attachment via email

 

[toxicwombat]

Rejected. Expected but a little disheartening all the same.

 

[syoung]

Let me join this wondrous club of yours.... Rejected completed 8/13 OOS 🙁 🙁 🙁!!! I thought you were special Brown... That you would see past my mediocre gpa/mcat and view my file holistically ... Oh well. Such a bummer. On to the next waiting games!

PDF attachment via email

My rejection email didn't contain a PDF attachment... my application portal also doesn't say anything about the rejection on the status page or communication page...

 

[CsHead]

Whoa... Survived another run in with the ax


Good luck in your other apps to those that got chopped.

Seconded!

When I submitted my secondary, I also received an email saying I was complete. So I'm assuming I was complete on 9/16. Guess I have a couple more weeks before I receive a rejection/ II (in all honesty, it's probably going to be a rejection)

 

[k2on3hru]

^ that's exactly how I feel 🙁

 

[YankeeLion16]

Has anyone received an II from here recently?

Interview Invite!

When did you schedule your interview for? I'm trying to decide if I want to send an in-the-area e-mail for the middle of November.

When I was scheduling, the only dates available were in December. I scheduled for Dec 7.

[twentythousand]

i wish they could just give me a rejection so i don't have to worry about this school...ugh.

 

[496552]

^ Haha, I'd rather they give me an invite ;P. But yes! Complete 9/10 and wondering when those rejections will be sent out... 🙁

 

[drd714]

I work at Rhode Island Hospital, and I saw so many 1st years going to orientation yesterday. I was sitting there staring like "I WANT TO BE YOU"

 

[ZJX90]

Rejected today. Complete 9/15. First rejection, definitely hurts...

 

[MLeeBee]

Rejected as well. Complete 9/13. This one hurts... I really thought I had a good shot.

 

[RG3forPresident]

Whoo just got rejected. Complete 9/2.

 

[jerseyshorekid]

Rejected today also. Complete 9/7. 3.9c 31Q. Darn, Brown was my clear #1 choice (albeit a reach). Good luck to everyone else applying and interviewing.

 

[minwoo123]

I just received an acceptance from one of my top choices so I'll be withdrawing my application and interview invite from Brown soon. Hopefully that interview spot will go to someone who really wants to attend!! =)

Congrats! Where'd you get in?

 

[496552]

Why must they separate waves of rejections into two days... Now I'm scared every time I check my email 🙁 And my stats are pretty mediocre too-- 🙁

 

[baranquilla]

rejected today 🙁....oh well, at least i have one of my state school acceptances

 

[VballDoc]

Survived the ax today. But I was complete 9/16. So I'm probably among the next to go 🙁

 

[k2on3hru]

Best of luck.



Dodged the ax again. I am sure it's only a matter of time.

 

[umt433]

Does anyone know how Brown does holds? I've been complete since late July, and made it through a all the axe-fests thus far, but still haven't heard anything. I'm assuming silent holds that turn to rejection, most likely?

Silent Hold do turn into interviews on a frequent basis. Keep your spirits up. There is a lot of interviewing still left.

I have recurring nightmares of this happening to me. Best of luck! Providence mall isn't far from Brown and I seem to remember the interview starting later than most others.

 

[FijiGNR89]

I forgot my belt at one of my interviews. Kept that blazer buttoned the whole day.

 

[fourhumours]

well the day went well despite my lack of pants XD

Brown is amazing and I would love to go there. here is to hoping I get an acceptance on dec 10.
