I think they went through all apps but II spots may still be available as they go through more rounds of review.

Dear Blank,
The Admissions Committee for The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University has completed its preliminary review of applications to the MD Class of 2019. Regretfully, I must inform you that your application was not selected for interview consideration.

Fingers crossed for good news,
ahh!! really hoping for an II here. complete in july and silence. making me nervousss
I would love an II from here! Complete early Sept, still in the running. The silence is killing me, but I guess since they accept so many of the people that they interview they want to be thorough.
If we are complete in August and haven't gotten an interview but haven't gotten rejected then are we in limbo? It's weird that they've completed the preliminary review when there are supposedly more apps to come...
During the interview day they stated that today is the day of decision calls!! 😳 any word out yet?
Does brown call applicants or email if accepted/waitlisted?
I think it was only emails last month when decisions came out, but I was waitlisted, so I could be wrong about that.
Thanks! Sorry to hear about the waitlist decision. Do you remember if the email was during or after business hours on the day you were expecting it?
It was around 10 am PST.

Accepted earlier today! Fantastic school. One of the most friendly admissions committee in the nation.

Got to agree! I just returned from my interview. . .for the first time, I felt COURTED!!
Barbara is like a mother to medical school applicants lol. She's amazing...I want to attend just to see her around.
Good for you, @sghos! What a wonderful school! You must be proud and happy!
Predicting 12/10 or 12/17 to be the next mass reject day, then 1/28.
Axed. Complete late August.
Just got the email. Really disappointed about this one.
Me too, but I felt I put my best foot forward (it was my last secondary submitted, and I had rewritten all the horrible secondary essays I sent to a few other schools) ... so at least I have no regrets.
Good luck to everyone else still in the running!Has anyone written them an update letter?
I wrote a post waitlist update letter/letter of interest.
axed as well! complete early sept, good luck to everyone still out there waiting!!
Still waiting for an II or rejection. Complete 10/19.
same here, complete mid september

+1 complete end of August
I wrote a pre-interview update. Still no rejection or II. Brown is really making us wait with ii's.
I'm so sorry to everyone who got the email today.
They do update the portal for certain decisions (i.e. rejections). I was rejected via portal, but never received an email.
silence still. complete mid july....
FWIW, I was the only traditional applicant at my interview day -- most had had 3+ gap years. They told me they enroll 2-4 traditional applicants every year. I got waitlisted and I'm wondering if my age was a factor in that decision, but of course it's hard to know for sure.
Yes, thank you! Sounds like a risky bet, quite honestly. So congrats on getting an II.

I've been complete since August and nothing... Haven't seen any II recently.
Wednesday's tend to be the day for rejections though and I'm just hoping I make it through this week without that...

I am grateful to Brown for loving me back. I was certainly lost in love from the interview day forward. Several schools have turned me away without an interview; others are waiting to see how many of their first choice folks turn them down. If I can make the finances work, though, I would certainly like to accept the offer and spend my med school years at this school. Maybe goodness of fit is a "real thing."
BTW, I was complete in early August and interviewed last month. My LizzyM is somewhere in the low 70s. (I know someone is bound to ask me!) I was informed by email sent yesterday morning.

Did they confirm you sent a letter?
Yep!
I sent one and didn't receive a confirmation, which makes me think I sent it to the wrong place? where did you send yours?
