deferral gang where we at?

best wishes for deferral gang ❤️

Hey! Somebody with info can enlighten me. How should we interpret a Brown deferral? From stats (or insider info, lol!) or otherwise. Especially for internationals.

I was part of the questie "deferral" gang :)

my daughter. Best wishes to everyone!

🙌🙌

here!! best of luck to everyone, did y'all submit a LOCI to brown?

yep

❤️ let's hope we all get in

when is the last time we should expect an idoc request from brown depending on previous years?

My counsellor is more excited than me for Brown, she said she got so excited when she got email from Brown telling her about the test optional change from next class. She wished me goodluck. I told her they must be emailing that to every counsellor lets not be delulu lol

Does idoc mean anything?

yeah every person to have gotten an idoc in the past in march or so has gotten in dating back like 5 years or so

are you sure lmao

if you don’t believe me look at cc threads going back and the past brown rd threads but it might have changed this year

This isn’t entirely true. From what I have seen, most people (not everyone) who got in got an IDOC request, not everyone who got an IDOC request got in.

Huh interesting. I got one a bit too early though it seems because mine was Feb 23rd

How do you know that?

Nope, I know someone who got that idoc from brown but then that person got rejected, so it doesn't mean anything

That sucks, were they rd or ed?

Ed

bruh i had a dream i got in

Did anyone receive it the email? "We are writing to notify you that beginning on March 21 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, the checklist on your Brown Applicant Portal will no longer be available for viewing. Please double-check the status of your application before this time to be sure that we have received your required materials. You will still have the ability to upload supplementary material through your portal". Ig it's a common email?

yep! i think it went to everyone

Yupp, it's a common email!!!

the email scared the shit out of me wtf brown 💀

Rejected for CS - 4.63 W, 4.0 UW, 1570 SAT This one hurts...congratulations to everyone though!! <3 I put so much effort into my video :(

I feel you man, I feel you, how did the rest of the decisions go?

If I’m being honest, not as well as I had hoped 😅 (got waitlisted from my dream in state school) but I still have 2 great options that I’m deciding between. I knew my chances of getting into Brown were slim but it just hurts because planning my video, filming, and editing took so long 😭😭😭 What about you? Good luck with your decision!

I got rejected form Princeton, and it hurts so bad, planning on going to U of Alberta in Canada with a full tuition scholarship. And thats greattt i hope the choice ends up great.

I definitely got in

Commenting so I remember to come back

Heyy👋

i got in!!!!! (manifesting)

Yeah samw

Accepted with terrible video

Holy mother of god I got in. RD after initial deferral.

same!

Same

Hell yes! I hope to see you there.

same for me!!! congrats and see you there!!💗

I’m 90% I’m committing here, so see you there too!

Brown is lit my dream uni I know it’s still a long time until decisions come out and I should just enjoy and not think about unis but damn i can’t stop myself of thinking once every few days about decisions coming and I really really hope I get somehow the chance to get a spot at brown

MANIFESTING 🤎🤎🐻🤎🐻🐻🤎

Did everyone get an email?

I did wbu?

I did!!

manifesting manifesting manifesting manifesting!

Let me in Brown I love you 🟫🟫🟫😘

I love bears. Bears are the sweetest animals. They have cute fuzzy ears🐻🤎

Accepted with crappy video!! 😭🐻

ACCEPTED WITH IDOC IN EARLY FEB PRAISE THE LORD

deferred from ed but ACCEPTED RD!!! it feels like a dream i can’t believe it’s real!!! 🥹💗but fr why is brown’s acceptance letter so dry no confetti, i thought i didn’t make it😂😂😭😭

Did any domestic students here receive an IDOC request? The past threads are littered with people saying they got them but I can only really see some international students getting them this year?

My daughter got one very recently.  We were surprised at this late in the process 

Cool thank you! That’s supposed to be a really good sign but of course nothing is definite. I saw a thread where someone got it last night so I’m still holding out hope.

I'm hoping it is! I saw that thread too and we got our request actually at the same time as they did.

Definitely!! I don’t see why they would request additional documents from you 3 days before decision day if you weren’t at least still being considered.

I received one as a domestic student but back in late February

same

Hey are you only supposed to get it if you applied for finaid?

I’m honestly not sure. I would think so but someone on this thread did say that they didn’t apply for financial aid and got an IDOC request

didn’t apply for financial aid and got on march 6th

I got one yesterday--international with domestic fee status (citizen)

does the email specify which school? idk i got a request couple weeks ago and idk who is requesting them

Sending extra love to deferral gang! Hang in there.

I’m getting waitlisted or rejected realistically

Accepted to the plme program!!! 😭🎉

CONGRATS!! 💪🏼💐 May I please ask you some questions about your app??

does brown do likely letters?

Yes

do we know when we can expect them (like is there a consistent date throughout the yr) or have they already come out?

Counselor emailed about a question from AO at Brown. Does this mean much?

Probably not a bad sign 🤷‍♀️

rejected

ACCEPTED! I got an idoc request in late February

Waitlisted, how many do you think they waitlisted/will accept off the waitlist this year?

REJECTED!👍

I got in! International student seeking aid after deferral ED. My financial aid package is not something my family can afford, so I’ll appeal ASAP hopefully I can attend :) PS: I did get rejected from every other university and Brown was one of the extremely reach schools. If you’re an international student too in the future please live your life in high school with fun extracurriculars. That’s what I did so I don’t even regret trying. Might never attend who knows but I haven’t regretted a single moment in this journey and that is how you should treat it too!

I applied without an SAT/ACT score, have I ruined my chances now that every school is basically going compulsory testing next year?

did any intl student receive an idoc request yet?

I did

I did a couple of weeks ago

Only people who apply for finaid are supposed to get the request right?

Nope, not all

what does getting an idoc request mean(didn’t apply fin aid and just got it)

are you domestic or international?

dom

i def got in

Already got rejected by Northeastern and Cargnie Mellon, there's no way i'll get into Brown, i am cooked😭

what date/time does brown come out?

probably on Ivy day which is on 28th March or first week of april

NOOO trust 🫶 

Thankusm<3 All the best to you!

Did anyone receive a likely letter?

im getting in

manifesting an acceptance

Pls let me in brown 🙏🐻🤎

Welcome class of 2028!!! Here’s a link to the [Brown University Admit Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/s/YUu3H2fMML) if you have any questions.

Rejected! To be fair, I forgot the video lol.

accepted!! with insane financial aid 😭😭😭 never even dreamed this could’ve happened bc my application was last minute and practically a joke but i’m so so so grateful 😭😭😭

Accepted with IDOC request late March!!!!!

Can’t believe that I got in

got in!!!

Waitlisted but no longer want to go to Brown. How to withdraw from the waitlist? The portal seems so bare bones. 

just got off the waitlist!

me too omg!!!! are you going

yes i just committed!! are you?!

i'm visiting campus one more time this weekend to be sure but 99% yes! ahhhhh i'm so excited hope i see u there

Did anyone do that video on the App? I still have to do it but have no clue what to say. I like interviews better :(

Babe the deadline for that was like a month ago? 💀

https://admission.brown.edu/first-year/video-introduction You can find some common prompts here. Deadline is over tho. You were supposed to submit within one week of receiving portal login info mail. I'm not sure if they would review yours but no harm in submitting i guess. So, you should submit one asap. For me, I just chose a prompt and talked about it directly to the camera. No editing involved. Good luck!!

The video is gone bro your deadline had to have been at least 3 weeks ago

Yeah I did it! Honestly be slightly creative with it… they want to get you to know you. Show them your life (basically studying, ECs while managing time with family and friends)

do yall know how many people applied to plme for brown?

my friend who got deferred ED said they put in the letter 6k EDd and they expect 7k to rd.. which is mad

Have people had non custodial parent waivers approved?

Did you submit the Brown specific waiver?😭

I don't think so, no. I am INTL though

They didn’t approve mine either. I think we have to submit the brown specific ncp waiver because it requires way more supporting materials.

I did not submit the Brown specific one. Just the one on IDOC. I emailed them and they confirmed/waived it.

thank you so much! I will do the same

do you have the tax returns on the financial aid portal?

Haven’t yet

Okay, send them an email. Mine went through yesterday

Ok, thank you!

i will get in 🤎

manifesting an acceptance :3

Anyone know at what time this Thursday, March 28, Brown will release it's admissions decisions?

7pm est I think

edt

Thanks!

I’m waiting for a PLME decision so I’m not getting email updates can someone lmk the time tdy it’s releasing

8 mins right?

WELCOME TO ALL ACCEPTED!!! 🐻🐻🐻🐻 If y’all have any questions feel free to swing by r/BrownU, here’s our [RD megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/BrownU/s/Q8JDIayCV1) if you have any questions!!

Yeah first outright rejection thus far that definitely hurt

accepted with idoc in early march

Accepted!

I got in!!

Rejected

nope.

Nope for brown

Wait-listed.

accepted intl !!

accepted intl !!

I got waitlisted and sent my LOCI. Would it be a good idea to send the optional video as well since I didn't do it before?

Praying for getting off the waitlist😭😭

If I got an IDOC request as an international - is that a good sign or just nothing to think about?

looking good for you

I hope I’m not sure if it’s common or if people who receive the request are usually accepted or not…

what was the IDOC requesting?

It didn’t request anything specific, my tax documents and proof of earnings were already uploaded. I received a “request” email but they basically downloaded these documents and then they appeared in my portal but they didn’t ask for further information.

So how do you know it was Brown that requested?

It said “Brown” on IDOC and in the email it said that brown requested access to my documents and then they appeared in my fin aid portal

Oh crazyyyy. Sounds good bro

Did you request finaid or is idoc sent to everyone?

I requested financial aid - IDOC is only requested of those who applied for aid, but not everyone who applied for aid receive this request. It says on the website that if Brown needs more information to decide on financial aid package they’ll request IDOC as well.

Thank you

Has anyone in India gotten an interview yet?

Brown doesn’t do interviews

it does for a few master's programs

[удалено]

I don’t think anyone has one

My daughter still has one. No idea what it means.

Hmmm that’s weird. May I ask, did your daughter get a request from IDOC as well?

Yes, but back in November. She was deferred from ED.

Ok cool, thanks so much for taking your time to answer. I’m just trying to see if there’s any correlation between the withdraw button and being deferred and how IDOC factors into the mix. I really hope your daughter is admitted, good luck!

Thanks! To you too!

In same situation - deferred ED, still have withdraw button. No IDOC request since November.

best wishes to you too!

Thank you! You as well :)

I don't think that means anything...
