<p>Nothing yet guys? 
</p>
<p>Have any of the accepted students by phone received their letter and package already? Or are you still waiting for it to come through mail?</p>
<p>Hello! I am a parent who just signed on to the list…we checked with brown (I asked my son to call about the wait list since this thread had conflicting information about announcements). They said they do not call—only mail or email. They did not state how they mail (forgot to ask) but I checked a similar thread form 2009 and a few people stated it was by fedEx. Any more info from anyone about the list and if anyone was offered admission?</p>
<p>The thing is when are they going to notify students? It’s been almost a month without hearing a word from them. I just hope it is this week, and if they haven’t reached a decision on me yet, to at least notify me if I am still to be evaluated or not.</p>
<p>If they sent a wave of rejections that means the ones who did not hear yet have a chance. I think they did because why would they keep all the applications active for a month… It doesnt make sense</p>
<p>yeah but it would be pretty odd if all of the users contributing on this CC thread haven’t been rejected yet</p>
<p>Nothing yet? This is incredible… :’(</p>
<p>i wish we could just find out already or at least get some sort of reaction. like i sent an email to my representative in mid april and i still haven’t gotten a response </p>
<p>My son has emailed back and forth with his admissions counselor a few times and the wording his admissions counselor used were clearly that those accepted off the wait list would hear by mid-June. He did not say others would be notified in any way. </p>
<p>What did he ask exactly?</p>
<p>Oh Lord… thanks for the info though… We’ll have to wait a little more, I guess. :/</p>
<p>He had just emailed to update some awards he’d won and reaffirm his commitment to attend if accepted off the wait list. </p>
<p>I take it back. I had him read me the response and it said all wait listed students will know their decisions by the end of the month. </p>
<p>So the admissions said acceptances can come out any time until Mid-june?</p>
<p>So we will know in two days OMG!!</p>
<p>Something could have changed since then but that was the message back then. I kind of hope there is some definitive decision sent out because I think my son is having a hard time fully embracing the school he where he has sent a deposit because of hope for Brown. I think he’ll end up fine and loving it once he knows Brown is no longer an option. </p>

<p>For all you on the wait list wondering if/when you will be notified of your acceptance or non-acceptance: I think Brown reached out to the wait list candidates to whom they wanted to offer admission (early May), and offered them admission. Of those students, those who decline their spot at Brown then create a spot for one of you on the wait list, who have not yet heard anything from Brown. Does that make sense? I say this because my child was on the wait list (and did not contact Brown after the college application was submitted), and was told by a guidance counselor on 8 May that Brown had called the counselor, asking about my child. Brown then proceeded to officially offer my child a spot in the 2018 class (they sent a nice packet in the mail. That was how we found out our child was accepted). Currently, we have not yet accepted or declined the acceptance because we are waiting on updated financial aid numbers from Brown. Hope this helps you who are anxious to hear from Brown. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for sharing that information with us. Faith is the only thing that is going to help me through this process. Thank you…
For us, waitlisted students, it is going to be a long process to accept everything that happens from now on.</p>
<p>You’re quite welcome. I would suggest (and I know this is an extremely stressful process!) to take a deep breath, and to have faith that if you don’t get in to a school, you were not meant to go there. It was just not meant to be… that’s what we tell our child. We have had our share of “heartbreak” with college rejections, trust me. Or the acceptances to top tier schools (Northwestern, and now perhaps Brown), only to find out they don’t offer you enough aid, and your child can not afford to go there. It stings, but then life goes on. If you are all Ivy/Brown material, then you have demonstrated you can make a difference with your gifts. So whatever school you go to, make a difference there…</p>
<p>Are you international? Today my counselor told me not to expect an offer. She said they should have made all the decisions and apperently I was not chosen. They did not contact her. It is her idea but it makes sense </p>
