Hmmm hahaha interesting description!

No email yet.... My phone battery is quickly draining due to near constant refreshing! Haha!
 
Waitlisted.... Pretty bummed about this one 🙁
 
Sigh waitlisted...a good opportunity to make patience one of my virtues? In other news, big congrats to everyone who was accepted today!!!
 
Portal status says application is no longer being considered for admission, not sure when it was posted as I haven't checked the portal since I submitted secondary in beginning of August.
 
Hey guys! Hope interviews and applications are going well for everyone! Any sub-30 interview invites/WLs/acceptances? If so, when were you complete and what were your stats? Thanks for the information and good luck to all applicants!
 
Does anyone know if there has ever been an instance of when an applicant was pulled off the wait list prior to the end of the interview season? Congratulations to those who have been accepted recently!

Also who is the dean of admissions? Dr. Chun and Dr. Forcier? Thanks!

Hey there, MS2 here

1) yes, people can be pulled off the waitlist before the end of the admissions cycle.
2) the Director of Admissions is Barbara Fuller
 
Where is everyone seeing the "no longer being considered for admission" status? Is it the same webiste where you submitted your secondary? I don't really have a status except for the check mark next to application complete, so I'm just making sure that I'm looking in the right place loll

I guess us late August, early-mid September completed people are next on the chopping block.

Is anyone else like me...completely missing the chopping block?
Completed 8/18...no word at all. Maybe a soft rejection from a low MCAT(w/ high bio)?
Brown is my dream program; it suits me perfectly. Fingers still crossed.

I'm just assuming, but it may mean they reviewed your app, weren't ready to make a decision, and will come back later. Kind of like a "silent hold"
 
When we write letters of interest do we write "dear admissions office" or dear ms.fuller? or is the attended audience supposed to be the dean? i feel kinda stupid but I never thought I was going to write one really haha, turns out I really love Brown

I am also curious to know if anyone has the answer to this. Also, for those who did send a pre-interview invite, did you email it to the admissions office? The portal doesn't seem to have a place to upload updates.

Looks like a whole bunch of rejections went out last Wednesday 🙁 Do Wednesdays = d-day?

Does Brown accept pre-II updates?
 
Complete 8/8, with low uGPA and high gradGPA, havent heard a peep. Anyone else have a similar experience?
 
complete 7/20 and I'm in the same boat as you guys
 
Did Brown provide a mailing address for post-interview correspondence? Is e-mail the best route?

Same!

If I were Brown you guys would be at the top of my list 😉
 
I have the status on my portal that says "We regret that your application is no longer being considered for admission"...but I received no email since my complete email after submitting. so is that the end? i guess i thought i'd get a rejection email! i didn't even get an email to say my status had changed

Sorry about the news...
When were you complete?
 
Blargh, complete since late July and no news yet - anyone similar in the July club? what does this meannnnnnnnasdfj.
 
How can I try to arrange for a student host? I know that I've seen info somewhere, but I can't seem to relocate it. Help appreciated!
 
I wish I had a crystal ball that I could just look into and tell myself and all the other hopefuls on this thread what their fate holds. But I never got the chance to take Divination... Patience, I suppose, is the only trance I know to help me cope.
 
randomly checked my portal this morning and was rejected as well!
honestly, i didn't love brown that much anyway. maybe they saw that i wouldn't be a great fit
complete 8/19, good luck!
 
Rejected via portal. Good luck to everyone who's still in the running!
