I know they said we should be hearing back the 17th but just realizing now that that’s a holiday. Is that going to mess with the decisions?

 

[averagepremed0101]

brown, are you gonna reject me or give me an interview 💔

 

[magic_fish12]

for WLers, have you filled out financial aid stuff?

I have the same thing-- no clue why they are still holding on!

i’m trying not to read into it but i was literally submitted at the beginning of July so they’ve definitely seen my app 🤣

 

[snflst]

Yeah, I filled it out

I feel like President’s day only affects government jobs but i could be wrong

 

[seaweedbrain]

Has there been any pattern in the time decisions have been released thus far or is any hour fair game tomorrow?

I hope it’s just one big dump. Really don’t want the emails to be strung out throughout the day and just sitting there waiting

 

[deleted1199010]

Do they generally call or email?

 

[seaweedbrain]

Do they generally call or email?

they said we'd be notified by email on my interview day

also their website says "Post-interview decisions are transmitted through Alpert Medical School's secure online application system and via email."

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Do they generally call or email?

Yeah I was told email as well, but no timeframe unfortunately

 

[seaweedbrain]

waitlisted just now
around 1:18EST for those looking back next year

 

[BiomedEGR777]

Waitlist +1 didn’t say anything about high priority so I’m assuming just a regular WL ie R

i havent heard of brown having a tiered WL

 

[BiomedEGR777]

i havent heard of brown having a tiered WL

Oh I thought I heard during my interview that they did do tiers. Maybe not though

 

[deleted1199010]

OOS A 😭 my first A and I couldn’t be more relieved

 

[X0001234]

Oh I thought I heard during my interview that they did do tiers. Maybe not though

I'm waitlisted as well, I can't recall any mention of tiered waitlisting during my interview day

i read through the info link they sent with the WL email and it’s definitely not tiered

 

[magic_fish12]

When’s the next wave of decisions?

 

[toxvermont]

Waitlisted today. Does anyone have any idea how common it is to be pulled off the waitlist at Brown?

 

[feeling_tireddddd]

Brown apparently initially accepts 30% of non-PLME applicants, and then accepts an additional 20% off the WL. Thus, still have a very good chance!

Apparently someone I interviewed on the same day with was told by their current student interviewer that there is a “high waitlist” status as opposed to the regular waitlist, which is a soft rejection? I don’t see any mention of high waitlist in Brown’s waitlist email. Anyone know if there’s any truth to this or if this was just a past year thing?

“The waitlist is notoriously hard to predict, and it is not ranked. We will be continuously reviewing all candidates (admitted and waitlisted) throughout this process, and we will not forget about you as we continue to assess where we are with the MD Class of 2029.”

In reality, all waitlists are ranked because there has to be an order at which to move down them and send offers but basically Brown doesn’t tell us if we’re high priority or not. At least that’s my understanding.

 

[feeling_tireddddd]

I assume the message in the portal is the same for everyone, stating a competitive application but must be placed on waitlist at the moment?

yeah I had heard something similar, but obviously can't find any mention or record of it so im sure they have some sort of internal rank/priority and that's where they draw from

 

[averagepremed0101]

the R train finally hit me just now 😞 complete 7/14

 

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

IS Pre-II R. Guess Brown doesn't want to have any doctors remain in and treat patients from their homestate!

 

[premed2024_123456]

+1 OOS R. Not sure what took them so long!

 

[LowerPotential]

+1 OOS R

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

Pre II R a few days ago!

 

[toxvermont]

I just noticed on Brown’s website that they say “Scores from tests taken within the three-year period prior to matriculation are acceptable. For example, applicants to the 2025 first-year entering class must present MCAT scores dated from January 1, 2022 onward.” It’s interesting that it includes “three years” and also “January 2022” when the cycle opened June 2024 (shouldn’t the date therefore be June 2021 earliest MCAT??). If the application cycle for 25-26 opens in June 2025 and I plan on reapplying (currently waitlisted), I’m probably cooked if I took the MCAT august 2022, right? I’d assume for next cycle they’d move earliest MCAT date to January 2023.

 

[Hanamichi]

Rejected just now

 

[guessedcargo]

R

 

[custardrepeat]

IS R

 

[waterglass]

still have yet to receive an R from here

 

[ButterflySparky]

still have yet to receive an R from here

Same, but I am fairly certain they are done sending out invites...? So not sure why they don't just send the email.

 

[scottsterling]

Finally pre-II R, complete 7/10

 

[flowerplant2000]

for those filling out fin aid forms, does the SSB portal show that you uploaded forms? I know its a 3-5 business day turnover for the forms to be accepted but I just want to ensure that all my docs have been uploaded/received.

 

[magic_fish12]

They send u an email saying your fin aid app is complete

 

[flowerplant2000]

oh yea, but mine probs wont be completed by today. i just wanted to make sure all my docs were uploaded successfully. Like in IDOC, it shows what documents you upload, but on SBB, i cant seem to find such place

 

[frigophobiashift]

Right there w/ you flower plant. I didn't get any confirmation, but I'm just hoping they went through. Let me know if you receive any updates!

same! I submitted like a week ago but never got the confirmation

 

[dhkswjsvlrhs]

Is the March [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]] deadline applicable to forms uploaded to the portal as well? If I submitted them earlier today I’m still considered within deadline right?

As i understand it, it’s just the deadline to be considered priority and it’s for everything including the portal

 

[doctornugget]

Just found the pre-II R in my junk mail from 2/19. Not me on here rejoicing thinking I’d dodged the R train 😂

 

[toxvermont]

Dang sitting on this waitlist is killing me, lol

 

[redexpomarker]

has anyone started getting their financial aid packages yet? the financial aid office said they’ll send them by end of april but I wasn’t sure if some students start getting them earlier…
