Man...with the early pool, do they just defer anyone they don't want to accept? Deferred here, too. I feel an odd sort of relief, though - not outright rejected, so at least I can say that much.

one thing abt the rooster...david didn't apply early after all. just to make that clear....

oh well...do you guys have any idea when they mailed the decisions? is there any chance whatever to receive it tomorrow, considering DHL is supposed to send mail in 2 days? Oh pls tell me: yes!....I'm so so anxious!!!!!!! [although I will most probably get deferred but at least I want to know!]

I just discovered this site last night, it is crazy--
I was deferred.

Stats:
SAT: CR: 690; M: 620; W: 740
SAT IIs: No- ACT composite 29
GPA: unweighted, 93.55
Rank: 11/240
Other stats: President of Student Council, Varsity Basketball MVP/Captain/Leadership Award/All-League 2nd Team, Varsity Tennis 2-year Captain/#2 Singles, Yearbook Sports Editor, School newspaper Sports Editor, Directed/produced 3 short films, NHS 11th/12th grade, Costa Rica exchange '06, Experiment in International Living to Chile Summer '05, Field study in Alabama to study civil rights movement April '05, 2nd Place in UVM Writing Competition, Recipient of Wellesley College Book Award
Subjective:
Essays: I was happy, happiest w/ my essay essay- Others were fine, although I didn't spend hours on them.
Teacher Recs: I waived my rights to see them but I think they were fine. Plsu two unique supp recs.
Counselor Rec: Did not see it, I think it was fine
Hook (if any): Really just my extra currics, some legacy
Location/Person:
State or Country: Southern Vermont
School Type: public, and by public i mean VERY public. only 4 ap's offered
Ethnicity: white
Gender: female
Other Factors: lots of legacy (great grandfather, grandfather, four aunts, etc), brother is a junior who was featured in the cover article in Brown Alumni Mag

General Comments: I was disappointed, but my scores aren't great so it's understandable. I guess I'll just keep working on it- other deferrals, are you going to send anything else during the RD wait?
congrats to all accepted, moral support to others deferred, keep on keepin on to those rejected.
3 applied early from my school and all were deferred. My cousin goes to Wheeler School in providence and Brown deferred 6/7 applicants and rejected the last- what's up with all these deferrals? I've also heard that Brown had a 17% increase in ED apps this year. crizzay.

I seriously stared at the page that reads "Application: COMPLETE" for a half hour, holding down the refresh button, waiting for something to happen.
it's a WONDER i didn't get in.
cheer up guys!!

we were 7/8 Columbia (the other got deferred), and the only kid who applied to dartmouth got deferred. So overall, we are doing great. We'll see about the healthy chunk that applied to penn tomorrow...
