Hi there! I am also an international student, who was waitlisted by Brown.
I’ve been lurking for a while and I think it’s time to join you guys in limbo. I have received ambiguous replies from Brown just like you. When my counselor sent an update to the office, they told her they would add the information to my file, even though the decision letters had already been sent by snail mail. I have written two emails to my regional officer, who hasn’t replied at all. When I wrote to the admissions office, I received a reply, which was identical to what you guys received:
“Thank you for applying to Brown University. We appreciate your
continued interest in Brown. The vast majority of wait list decisions
have been mailed. Students should wait to receive their decisions by
mail since they are being sent periodically, not on a specific
schedule. We do not anticipate we will have wait list spaces for next
year, but are continuing to review a small number of cases in the
event we do. Everyone will be notified as soon as possible of the
final outcome of our deliberations.”
Why couldn’t they tell me right away, if I am one of those, who have already been rejected?
