<p>Brown notifications come out 5pm EDT March 29, 2012: [Brown</a> University Admission Decision](<a href=“http://admissiondecision.brown.edu/]Brown”>http://admissiondecision.brown.edu/)</p>
<p>Does this mean Harvard will also come out at the same time?</p>
<p>Yes. Be you assured that it will…</p>
<p>Yes, it means almost all Ive’s will release there result on the same day and time…</p>
<p>My D was ED’ed at Williams and they did it at 8 pm, which seemed odd–until I figured out that 8 would be 5 pm on the West Coast so that the kids out there didn’t have to check while still at school-- that seems to make sense-- I wish the Ivies would be so considerate. I mean for those on the East Coast it’s a few more hours, but at least you won’t have your friends looking over your shoulder when you log on…</p>
<p>Given the number of applications, they release the decision in batches starting at 5 pm. Some kids may have to wait a bit longer than others.</p>
<p>EA had far fewer applicants, but my daughter’s email arrived right at 5 pm on Dec. 15.</p>
<p>Just be warned everyone, 5 does not mean 5, unless you’re fortunate. Back on December 15 I had my phone in my hand every moment from 4:30 onwards. I got home at 5:30. Still no decision. Constantly brushing friends and family off. Not yet, I’d say. I finally took a nap, because there was no way I was doing anything else, so I might as well sleep. I woke up around 7:15, lay around, then finally the e-mail came at 7:30. It was timestamped 5:01 PM though. Moral of the story: 5 doesn’t really mean 5, and your anxiety will be through the roof, like nothing you can imagine. Have fun gentlemen. I’m glad I got in the first time.</p>
<p>Do not freak out if your computer freezes at five. In fact if you are able to do this psychologically-- go out and play the piano or hoops or something for an hour or so and then come back in and check around 6.30 EDT.</p>
<p>You can also try logging into the admitted students’ website. I know a friend who didn’t get the email 'til late, but found out she was accepted EA by successfully logging in a little after five. Of course, this won’t tell you much if you weren’t accepted, but if you were… you can celebrate that much earlier :)</p>
<p>Penn is at 5:30 if that means anything.</p>
<p>^the email i got said 5pm, do you think they are sending people different times based on alphabetical order? because i have a friend with a last name closer to the beginning of the alphabet and she got the email 6pm the day before. I got my email 8am.</p>
