<p>Laaaame. I got 6pm, which is better than 7pm, but still. East Coast.
Hopefully Yale will be at 5pm at least. Of course, after a rejection, that hour will be brutal.</p>
<p>I’m on the East Coast, and I got 6 pm.</p>
<p>so brown doesn’t send out decision letter, not even to those got accepted??
does everyone here has “Please note that we will not be mailing decision letters” on the email???</p>
<p>hey yes, mine does say that!</p>
<p>yeah… i have that in my email too…</p>
<p>and i got 6 p.m. D: east coast…</p>
<p>5 p.m.</p>
<p>I really have a feeling this means something. Search the Duke forum for “timestamps.”</p>
<p>if it does…that is scary. maybe 5pm=reject 6pm=waitlist 7pm=accepted? nah but times shouldnt meant anything.</p>
<p>Just looking at the number of people which got which time…they can’t mean anything. I know CC is a small, weird sampling of applicants, but the times seem too evenly distributed to mean anything. That’d also just be dumb on Brown’s part. It’s clearly for their server. MIT got owned on Monday.</p>
<p>Yeah, plus there seems to be a pretty strong correlation between time and geographic location.</p>
<p>Lol , just read this thread from the duke forum last year. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/duke-university/892142-5-35-losers-club-14.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/duke-university/892142-5-35-losers-club-14.html</a></p>
<p>Read the post by Elanorci.</p>
<p>^ That’s what I was talking about. This does mean something, we just don’t know exactly what that is. :)</p>
<p>over analyzing much? haha</p>
<p>hmm, i’m on the west coast, and i got 7pm, which would make sense geographically. if that helps.</p>
<p>Yeah for sure times do not mean anything;
I checked the Duke…some 5:35 got rejected some 1:16 got rejected as well
For Ann Arbor 12/16=some got accepted/deferred and 12/23=some got accepted/deferred.</p>
<p>Doesn’t mean much and it is ALSO ON THE BROWN BLOG.</p>
<p>As a computer networking expert I first thought, these guys are wrong, the 5pms make sense to be accept as there are way less so why not let the admits know first as they are who you care to notify. But then I thought more. Most kids in midwest will not be able to check by 5pm anyway and so it makes a lot of sense to do East coast mainly 5, middle west 6 and west coast 7. But then I thought again, and it would be really a bit weird to give away your hand so much as if it turns out you can never use this scheme again, course you could reverse it. Its simply a server bandwidth issue and it means nothing what time you got IMHO. It would be too complicated to sort the stuff and work for an IT guy. While its NO WORK AT ALL to just allow a time stamp for an applicant-trust me–if its complicated vs. simple its always simple. They just made some arbitrary way of deciding who gets news when and I think it has zero to do with status of application and everything to do with letting the servers not crash. Otherwise I would be betting the total opposite as 5pm is the time again that would be the accepts if any not 7pm when the servers are still swamped with people who are late on the 5pm or late logging in. So its 99 percent not meaning anything but this is when you can be allowed to log in and 1 percent odds it means you are an admit depending on time–KISS-keep it simple stupid–the engineers motto…if they cared that much they would send snail mails to accepts 3 days before the log in and be sure the admits all knew…IMHO but its a knowledgeable opinion being an engineer and knowing how IT guys think-admissions would not be making the call on this IT would and they frankly most likely could care less who gets notified when as long as they do not have to reboot servers over and over…okay…waiting makes for total psychosis and I totally sympathize…and FWIW my D got a 5pm…so go 5pm just in case my 1 percent case is right–nahh—its not meaning anything…relax…nothing has changed your chances----lol</p>
<p>Email recv’d said 6:00 p.m. --located in DC area. Just posting to continue the entertainment of whether there’s a pattern here. Should keep us busy until the 30th ;)</p>
<p>Hmmmm I’m in Texas and I got 7pm. </p>
<p>If not by geographic location, could it be by last name?</p>
<p>i guess its for fun! 
how is everyone’s senior year?</p>
<p>According to the Admission’s Blog, the times have no correlation to the admission decision. They are trying to avoid a server crash. So I guess we can all stop trying to figure it out. Blog says,</p>
<p>We are currently in the middle of our heavy reading and committee season; stay tuned for March 30th, when decisions will be released on our online portal. If you have submitted an application to us, you have received an email stating at what time you should log in to our system (the time you have been given does not correspond to your admission decision).</p>
<p>Please log in at the time stated on your email; our servers do not handle 30,000+ simultaneous log-in attempts.</p>
<p>If you have any pressing admission questions, you may contact us via email or phone.</p>
<p>I got 6:00 PM, in the Mid-Atlantic. I’m going to go ahead and assume the times are random, by region, or alphabetical. Doesn’t matter; the decisions have been made and there’s not a whole lot we can do now but wait, bite off all our fingernails, and try not to have anxiety attacks every time we see an email entitled “Your Brown University Application”. </p>
<p>Good luck everybody!</p>
