Proof that being asked for your progress report means ABSOLUTELY nothing! Happy?

Firstly, I emailed admissions…

Dear Rising Senior (which is what I use for my anonymous email address),

We understand that much speculation goes on in college admission forums on the net, and we urge you to not read into the rumors and theories too much. The request of first quarter grades does not mean that a student will definitely be deferred, admitted, or denied; we read every application carefully and review many pieces of information about an applicant. Admission decisions will be released on December 13th at 5PM EST.

Best wishes,
Brown Admission Office

Secondly…
I talked to my guidance counselor today. In my school, 3 people applied ED to Brown. All three were asked for their progress reports. One of them stands a chance approaching 0 of getting into Brown because his average is ~10 pts lower than mine w/no stellar ECs, and he’s asian.
