| fhg, i edited my pos so that you can see my ECs and awards.
acadec you should have received a letter in the mail from brown early january saying that they received form 1 of the application. in the letter, you get a brown username and a password you should change. you use that username to log in and check. it's the username you also used to track your application. | |

| Got wait listed...applied for PLME.
Won't be staying on the waiting list because I got into Harvard (which I will be attending)! Kinda heartbroken---I lie, very heartbroken about Brown. Didn't think I had a chance in hell of getting into Harvard. | |

| I went to the website: Brown University Admission Decision
I clicked on "click here to get your decision"
I typed my login name and password
It just takes me to a page which says "Welcome, NAME, to the Brown Information System! Last web access on Mar 31, 2008 at 06:55 pm"
then there is a menu where i can view "personal information" or "Applicant, Student and Financial Aid"
I have searched all throughout the links and cannot access my admission decision?
ANYONE? | |
