sweet pictureNothing yet, complete 9/1...
word.+4 complete 9/8. Yeah I'm starting to think they just haven't finished reviewing this later batch lol.
did these rejections come out all at once this afternoon? or have they been sending them in waves throughout the day?
Rejected. Completed sometime in early Aug. Good LizzyM score. OOS. I saw this coming though, my profile made me looks like that I am super heavily leaned towards research, which might concerns Brown for my fit with the school. Enjoy Brown those lucky few!
Brown emphasised teaching above all else during my interview day. They said they really want to train clinician educators, and that all of the interviewees on my day were selected due to teaching experiences being prominent on our applications. They also talked a lot about research and art opportunities.

Sorry to hear that 🙁 I was rejected too today. I think fit was my issue too, my friend. I don't have enough "community service" and I emphasized teaching more in the supplementary essays than in my primary application 🙁 The most I've engaged in non clinical volunteering/leadership was a topic I am passionate about and that's what is important: helping organize fundraisers for my religious community. We raised 100,000 dollars two times that we used for different community projects. But that's probably not enough for schools like Brown and U of Chicago, which I also hear is service-heavy.
I thought they emphasized art and education. Or at least I hope so, lest my dreams of going to Brown are crushed
Yeah, I feel like the school is ABSURDLY tailored to me as a person. They even have an elective that combines medicine and theater. I heard angels singing when I saw thatDefinitely agree, which is why I think I got an interview. It's a very unique focus and I love that! Gah, I'm getting so nervous to hear back now.... This is definitely one of my top choices

this is really interesting what you all are saying...i know someone who is there and was hard core biology and science research applicant. i don't think they had any art or theatre on their app
i guess there are certain niches to be filled at every school
You are so kind! Brown doesn't know what it's missing by not welcoming you. I'm glad this news was balanced by Iowa-grown love!Rejected today via e-mail, complete 07/03. A little down because I really liked this school and thought I would fit... 🙁 I saw this e-mail and thought it was an II so I squealed before my face fell as I recognized the verbiage to be the format of a rejection, lol
Good luck to those still in the running! Especially to my pals @BengaliBrat and @sunflower18!!
Have people sent in updates here? If so, just to the admissions email? Thanks!
That's so interesting, because I certainly wouldn't describe my app as service heavy... Hopefully they don't waitlist me because of that!!

Having research experience is probably prefered by almost all med schools. But I'd assume that brown wants it to be balanced by other things. Both Researchismymiddlename and I have quite unusual amount of years of research, she's a research superstar with a phD. and I got 8 years and did several dozens of projects. We are out of the game probably because we weren't as balanced in our experience as many who do. Just a theory though. There could be so many reason why my app did not impress at such a competitive school.Really? I feel like Brown emphasizes research. At least on their admissions pamphlet, I felt like they really preached global health and research (i.e. "90% of our students conduct research blah blah blah publications blah blah blah") along with community service, etc.
In any case, I'm very sorry about the bad news. I expect to be on the chopping block next!

I have absolutely no bad feeling about this result though. I just wished to at least visit the supposedly beautiful campus but I'm sure one day I will.
That's a great point. But with your research experience (dozens of projects? crazy!), Brown is missing out on a great candidate and I am sure you will get love from many other wonderful schools.

Ha, I was there while Emma Watson was a student at Brown. She didn't frequent many places because she wasn't on campus much at all!Oh, she certainly has impressed some great schools!! Stanford, UPenn, Vandy, Cornell and she just got accepted to Michigan two nights ago! @Friendly_female_house is a SUPERSTAR 😍
Thank youI knew you said you did a lot of research, but that's incredible!! I only have had three so far. I can't imagine your breadth of experience! Cool!!!
And to tell you the truth, besides Brown's amazingness and the beauty of Providence, I also wanted to see the areas Emma Watson frequented 😳 I know, priorities, priorities, but I am a huge fan.
For some reason that I have not been able to fathom, I was given an opportunity to go in person to convince the admissions folks that there are better candidates. I waited a long time to benefit from the bureaucratic error, though. I can't attest to this as fact, but I have heard that Brown (like Dartmouth) is very cautious in the early stages and interviews only a handful of hopefuls. The up side, I'm told, is that a higher proportion of interviewees is accepted than at most schools. Sunflower18, I thought that you were the Interview Empress. Brown is late to the dance?Getting really nervous about hearing back.... eeek. Anyone else here waiting? @BengaliBrat, you are too, right?

@sunflower18 and @BengaliBrat I'm waiting for the decisions too—Brown broke my heart when I was applying to undergrad, but I couldn't help falling in love with the school all over again 😍 ... As a loyal stalker of both of your app cycles (in a most flattering and not at all creepy way I promise) I have a feeling both of you will be getting some good news tomorrow! ~Sending everyone good vibes/best wishes/loads of luck~
Love your avatar! You are so nice to compliment this hopeful. . . I don't expect good news from Brown for quite some time, if ever--I don't even interview there until next month! I am looking forward to the visit. I didn't apply to Brown as an undergrad, but I had friends there who LOVED it, and I couldn't resist setting my sights Rhode Island-ward this time. I fantasize about being torn by indecision as my top choices compete for the pleasure of my company. . .sort of like Scarlett O'Hara at the outset of *Gone With the Wind*--all those beaux and suitors! Really, though, I'm much more like Prissy, right down to "I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no baby." (Forgive the implicit racism. I see no relationship between character and melanin! Prissy could be a Bengali brat for sure!)@sunflower18 and @BengaliBrat I'm waiting for the decisions too—Brown broke my heart when I was applying to undergrad, but I couldn't help falling in love with the school all over again 😍 ...

I forgot to wish you good news! Consider it done. . . hope your Beloved reciprocates!!@sunflower18 and @BengaliBrat I'm waiting for the decisions too—Brown broke my heart when I was applying to undergrad, but I couldn't help falling in love with the school all over again 😍 ...
