<p>Ok I remember seeing that thread too, I think if you looked at the source code? of the page with the inaccessible decision button there was a spot with a letter: A, P, or Z. A was accepted, P was deferred, Z was rejected. I think this was available the morning decisions were supposed to come out. I would think Brown would fix this for regular decision though, as they likely do not want people finding out early.</p>

<p>I was accepted early decision and used the shortcut to see my decision at ~9:00 a.m. on decision day. On the “application summary” page there will be a button that says “View Decision” in the column next to where it says “Decision.” In your internet browser, click View -> Page Source, press CTRL+F and search for “apdc” which is thought to stand for “application decision code.” If you read “apdc=a0” you are accepted, and if you read “apdc=z0” you are rejected. Because this was early decision, some people also got “apdc=p0” which meant that they were deferred; perhaps this will mean waitlisted for the regular decision round. It’s important to note, though, that there was one person that had “apdc=z0” and they ended up being accepted. Brown also removed the buttons from the application summary page within an hour of them being posted, probably because they found out that people were finding out their decisions before 5 p.m.</p>

<p>THANKS :slight_smile: i will probably do it…and congrats on your acceptance!</p>

<p>Hi,
Self doubts and misgivings are the perfectly normal feelings to have.However, reality is reality…your scores may /may not take you to what you feel … is right.The good part is that there is probably a different school waiting for you and fretting…these next 10 days may seem like the biggest joke you’ve played on yourself…in hindsight.So, its prob a good idea to really start working on your alternatives in right earnest. You’ll be surprised at how little separates one school from another and a lot of the rankings are like an endorsement of brand names…and little more…(am a parent writing on my daughters thread)…all the best…
ps…you want to do well…you will
you want to enjoy life,you will…as long as you want it</p>

<p>Thanks, fe2011, and I wish all of you guys the best of luck - I know how agonizing the wait can be!</p>

<p>oh man, I think I got flat out rejected. So I emailed admissions a while back saying I did not send me ACT scores…look at the message:
Hi, ______</p>

<p>At this point, we’ve been able to get all of the information that we need in order to make an informed decision about your application. </p>

<p>Yeah it is okay.</p>

<p>…well i mean how would they accept you if you never sent scores?</p>

<p>At the time of sending your email you hadn’t sent ACT scores, but did you send them after?</p>

<p>If not, I have no idea how Brown would accept someone without scores…sorry</p>

<p>I really don’t care lol…I actually just wanted to give it a shot. I already have my deep love for another school…so best wishes to everyone that applied; I think I found where I belong.</p>

<p>awesome :slight_smile:
i get a 5 PM slot, to check my application at the same time as Columbia, Harvard, and Princeton. AND IT WILL BE MY BIRTHDAY.</p>

<p>No way! Good Luck to each school!</p>

<p>And for each and everyone, find a school that has it all for you…Don’t go to a school because it’s name but much rather because you feel comfortable there.</p>

<p>Fe, don’t worry about it! What is meant to happen will happen :)</p>

<p>When did admissions email you that message?</p>

<p>Today! And you know it!</p>

<p>It’s friday, friday, getting down on friday rofl…this song is funny.</p>

<p>Was hoping CC would be the last place I’d see a Rebecca Black reference T_T</p>

<p>Fe2011-
If I don’t get in I’m most likely going to Michigan state too haha! Are you in hc?</p>

<p>I am not! But I can not wait to go there! And sorry, I keep making fun of that song.</p>

<p>Hey, nice to see another Michigan resident here!</p>

<p>You’re from there no way! ten minutes from the city.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ll make it into Brown, sadly. My essay, though unique, wasn’t amazing. Asian. SAT not over 2300. No major awards. … <em>sigh</em> I must admit, I still have a tiny bit of hope because my grades are good and my SAT score is okay. My interview went very well, I thought, but everyone says that interviews don’t matter much at all in the decision making process.</p>
