So should we expect another rejection wave or II's next?
The rejections received have all been in a particular date range (pre-September) so my guess is more rejections before IIs? Who tf knows though

Zero clue! Worth a shot though if it's applicable to you.
Anyone have a weird document under their document uploads tab? I have something that says "FYI: Was ME. Changed to screen (Watch List.)" When I click on it I can't see what the document is. Just wondering if this is normal across the board or if they are considering me for something. With my stats it's probably a flag for the adcoms to check out my file when they need a laugh, but here's to hoping.
Unfortunately not. Sounds like good news for you...did you ever upload a document?
Nope, never did. It's been sitting there without me noticing it since mid-last month. I'm not going to put too much stock in it, my application portals have all had weird quirks here and there. Thanks for the reply!
I've been complete since Mid-July and haven't been rejected yet nor have I received an II. Hoping this is a good sign! I'm so obsessed with this school!

Mine has too? Haha probably another glitch with the system
Mine's gone too
Just noticed that too
Interesting. Mine didn't do that when I clicked on it. Probably a glitch, since it isn't the same for all of us.
I've convinced myself that my question above simultaneously uncovered some bug in the Brown system and gave away enough info to ID me. Now they are scrambling to fix it and I've shot myself in the foot for any future consideration. Neuroses 1, millerstone 0.

COMPLETELY speculatory, but it could mean that a decision was reached and that an uploaded document won't be accepted any longer.
My document upload tab is gone as well, it doesn't reappear.

Don't scare me like this
I just looked at my portal - on mine, it looks like Brown now asks that you email or mail updates. This is a recent change - I just uploaded an update letter a few days ago!
but it seems like everyone got this-- I doubt they've made a decision on all of us.
Here's what I bet happened: a bunch of people started getting nervous and sent in a whole wave of update letters. In an effort to make the workload manageable they made it a little harder to submit one (requiring people to email or mail them in instead)
Why even speculate?! If we don't get an e-mail asking to interview, then they didn't think you were a good fit. If you did, they do think so!
This wasn't directed at you but more of a general comment!
Where'd you see this? I don't see that message anywhere on mine. That I suppose is a bad sign for me
Same for me. It does seem ominous...
Haha, first post, but if you go to "Secondary Application" tab and then press "Additional Materials," that's where that message is located!
The document upload tab is back up for me.
Maybe we'll get a slew of II's this Friday to mirror last Friday's rejections. #optimism
That's the spirit I need!

Any current MD-ScM students I could PM to ask about their experiences?

So late? Or just saw it?
Around that time I think, so pretty late
Was talking to a friend about Brown and he told me that they prefer applicants from certain schools and programs over others. Anyone know if this is true?
I think this has been previously discussed a few times in this thread a few times. More info here: https://www.brown.edu/academics/medical/admission/apply-alpert-medical-school/routes-admission
