Has anyone else recently logged on to his Brown student account and found the "View Admissions Decision Online" hyperlink? While it's possible that the hyperlink won't actually be activated until later (5 or 6 p.m.), either way, I absolutely refuse to click on it. Could someone else please let me know if you experienced the same thing?!
I tried to log onto my student account and got this message:
"Error occurred during logon
You are not authorized to use the Web Information Systems. Please contact the Student Records Office for more information."
I'm pretty sure it will just lead you to the Admissions Decisions website that they provided in the email. It just says that Admissions Decisions will be released March 29.
It did the same thing to me, too, the second time I tried to log on! Trust me, though; it definitely led me to a page, where I could have viewed my decision. I really wish I had clicked on the hyperlink. Now I'll just have to wait like the rest of you...
I don't want to be a downer, and everyone should be hopeful, but realistic: Ivy acceptance rates are less than 10%. If you get a deny (like I will) it'll be ok. The school just isn't big enough to accommodate all the amazing kids (us) who apply.
But for now, we're ALL contenders.
And in the meantime, could someone explain to me how you post on the decision thread and get the "Accepted/Waitlisted/Denied" title to format correctly?
I'm thinking that it has a glitch in its system... I still refuse to check.

FarvaBean, yeah that's true, but when you clicked on " view your admission decision" , it appears that " Dear XXX, Admission decisions are currently not available. Check the Undergraduate Admission web site for specific dates and times." so we still have to wait
What about everyone checking their financial aid status. I heard sometimes there may be a glitch whereby you can see a financial aid award before you can see your admissions decision; if you have a financial aid award visible, that would probably mean you're in. That's not working for my daughter, though.... LOL
So how many of you have heard NOTHING! I mean deafening silence? (other than the application acknowledgement email, portal registration email, life after Brown email, and decision announcement email). Just matter fact, bare bones, bare minimum communication? No requests for additional school info, no requests for additional FA info....
