@AndrewMech It sure doesn't seem like it, does it... I feel like if anyone had they would have been notified by now but I could be wrong (in fact I hope I'm wrong, for your sake!). I do think it's kinda not cool to make their letter sound so hopeful for us. That was probably the most optimistic waitlist letter I've ever seen but with the worst results.

True story...

But it kinda hurt people's feeling though.. speaking pretty but empty words.

Well, any intention to apply next year?

Nope, I'm an incoming junior this Fall so it'd be too late. I'm headed to Vassar instead which I'm happy with. Hope you get good news today!

@Bloom 1904 Thanks for your kind wish

Brown is the only college that I applied to as a sophomore transfer. Because I am actually very happy with my current school, but was very attracted to Brown's open curriculum.

They might be skeptical of me though, since i did not SAT/ACT, and only have grades for one semester. BTW, I applied on Feb.29th while their deadline is March 1st.

Have to go back to study now, programming midterm tomorrow morning LOL.

The admissions officer I spoke to told me that no one was taken off the waitlist since the retention was much higher than expected. I don't really know what to think about it, but best of luck to everyone!

Hey, Brownish! Hope you're enjoying your summer too. There is a group, but it's kind of dead. We only have 7 members and no one ever posts. Here's the link: Log In | Facebook

Hey guys,

I'm about to go into my senior year at Brown (International Relations) and just wanted to reach out to you guys first of all to say congrats on coming to Brown, you're gonna love it! Also, I wanted to see if any of you guys were looking for off-campus housing. One of our friends has had to drop out for medical reasons but we've got a beautiful house within easy walking distance of campus.

The house has free laundry, utilities and furnishings included and the floor you'll be living on has a full kitchen, bathroom, large common room and even a balcony! We're all Brown students and hoping to keep it in the Brown community so I thought I'd extend it to you guys! Let me know if you're interested or have any questions.

I apologize if I'm being spammy, but I can also answer any other questions you might have about Brown/Providence
